Josh Hazlewood and company continue the destruction
If Bhuvaneshwar provided the spark, Josh Hazlewood Made sure the fire kept burning. The Australian fast bowler maintained constant pressure with his disciplined line and tight length, forcing Delhi’s top order to make mistakes.
The capitals never recovered from the initial collapse. Their star batsmen failed to settle and every attempt to rebuild was thwarted by RCB’s aggressive field placements and pace bowling plans. Getting out in single digits became a theme of the innings as Bengaluru bowlers kept attacking the stumps and making mistakes.
By the end of the 10th over, Delhi’s score was 45/7 and this was one of their lowest scores of the season. Even a brief interruption caused by a dust storm could not swing the momentum back in their favour. Ultimately they collapsed for just 75 runs.
