Right then! Bangalore have to get 165 runs from 20 overs if they are to hand Delhi a defeat in their last league stage game! Delhi do have a good bowling lineup and they would be confident going into the chase!

Dan Christian is in for a quick word! He says that it was a good comeback by them as Delhi got off to a good start but the deck was holding up slightly and they are happy to restrict them to around 160. Adds that they tried to use the slower balls well. Feels that it has been a pretty crazy tournament for him and he has not been able to get going with the blade but is happy to contribute with the ball and out on the field.

Bangalore would be happy with the way they have bowled in this game as they came back well after conceding too many runs in the first 10. Harshal drew the first blood and he was well supported by Yuzvendra Chahal and Mohammed Siraj. Maxwell and Dan Christian did leak some runs but Christian also got the big wicket of Rishabh Pant. All in all, it was a good bowling performance from Bangalore and they would have taken this score at the start of the innings. At one point, it was looking like Delhi would get to atleast 180, but Bangalore's bowlers brought things back smartly.

Delhi's opening batters set the tone up front and gave their side a very good start. Both Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw were looking comfortable in the middle and Delhi were at 88/0 at the halfway mark. Once the openers got out, Delhi lost the momentum of the innings and they lost wickets in clusters. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer failed to capitalize on the start that they got and they fell cheaply. Shimron Hetmyer was promoted to bat at number 5 and he did not disappoint. He hit a few lusty blows at the fag end of the innings and it was just the kind of cameo that Delhi were hoping for, from the hard-hitting West Indian, who helped his team to get to 164.

This has been a very good comeback from Bangalore after having leaked a few runs at the start of the innings. Delhi have done well with the bat but they would feel they are some runs short, especially after getting off to a good start.

19.6 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket on the last ball of the innings! Siraj gets his second and he bowls a brilliant last over! He bowls a full toss, around off, Shimron Hetmyer looks to power this one over the deep mid-wicket fence but he does not have enough juice on this shot. The skipper, Virat Kohli runs to his right in the deep and takes a great catch. DELHI END ON 164/5!

19.5 overs (0 Run) Siraj runs in and serves a short ball, around off, Shimron Hetmyer goes back and looks to pull but misses his shot.

19.4 overs (1 Run) Fuller, around off, hit hard to the left of the long off fielder for a run.

19.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! What a cracking shot. Perfect whip. A low full toss, on middle, Ripal Patel stands his ground, moves his front leg away, and clips this one through mid-wicket for a boundary.

19.2 overs (1 Run) That was struck hard! Fuller, around off, Shimron Hetmyer slaps this one back towards Siraj, who does well to get out of the way. The batters take one.

19.1 overs (0 Run) Top start by Siraj! The perfect yorker, at the base of off and middle, Shimron Hetmyer only manages to dig this one out back to Siraj.

Shahbaz Ahmed runs to his right in the deep, slides, but fumbles and lets the ball touch the ropes. They are checking if this is a waist high full toss but the umpire has a look and it is only gestured as a boundary. 7 runs and a wicket off this over!
