Delhi Capitals (DC) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 16 runs in their Indian Premier League (IPL) clash at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday. With this result, DC have climbed to the top of the IPL Points Table for now. For RCB, this defeat spells the end of their chances of completing a fairy tale late-season charge for the top four spots. Batting first, Delhi Capitals had put up a score of 187/5 in their 20 overs. Winning the toss, DC skipper Shreyas Iyer had opted to bat first. Prithvi Shaw (18 off 10 balls) started off on a positive note but was then dismissed by Umesh Yadav. Shreyas Iyer (52 off 37 balls) and Shikhar Dhawan (50 off 37 balls) then came together to put on a stable partnership, both eventually bringing up their respective fifties. Royal Challengers Bangalore were struggling to find a breakthrough, until Yuzvendra Chahal decided to have his say. He got Dhawan out by producing a thick top edge off his bat. Soon, he also got Shreyas Iyer to hole out in the deep. However, just as it looked like RCB would limit DC to a modest total, there was a last-minute carnage unleashed by Sherfane Rutherford (28* off 13 balls) to take the score beyond 180. Parthiv Patel (39 off 20 balls) and Virat Kohli (23 off 17 balls) got RCB off to a lightning start, but once their wickets fell, DC were all over them. There were contributions from Shivam Dube (24 off 16 balls), Gurkeerat Singh (27 off 19) and Marcus Stoinis (32* off 24 balls), but they were not enough as RCB finished at 171/7 in their 20 overs. (SCORECARD)

RCB 158/5 after 18 overs
RCB need 30 to win in the last two overs. Getting Rabada away will be the big challenge for RCB and they will know it. So they will look to go after Ishant in the 19th over. Match might be decided in this over.

Klaasen is out
Disaster for RCB! Klaasen has found the most bizarre way of getting himself out. Tried the ramp shot, hit it on to his helmet. Ball bounced off helmet and stayed in the air for a while, long enough for keeper Pant to get around and get his hands under it. RCB 108/4.

What a reprieve for Kohli! Looked like he was out! Replays show the ball had just dropped in front of Pant's gloves though. More drama! Kohli has something to say to Pant. Maybe for being so sure in his appeals.
