In the 39th match of IPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and decided to bowl first and his decision proved to be completely correct. Delhi Capitals, who came to bat first, had a very bad start.
Sahil Parakh, who was debuting in the very first over, was out without opening the account. After this, KL Rahul scored 1 run, Sameer Rizvi 0 and Tristan Stubbs returned to the pavilion quickly after scoring 5 runs. Captain Akshar Patel also could not open the account and the team’s score became 6 wickets for 8 runs in just 3.5 overs.
Although Kyle Jamieson showed some fight by scoring 12 runs, David Miller by 19 runs and Abhishek Porel by scoring 30 runs, but overall the entire batting lineup of the team was a flop. 8 batsmen of Delhi could not even cross the double figures and the entire team was reduced to 75 runs in 16.3 overs.
Josh Hazlewood performed brilliantly in bowling for RCB and took 4 wickets, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 3 wickets. Krunal Pandya, Suyyash Sharma and Rasikh Salam Dar got 1 success each.
Royal Challengers Bangalore had a fast start to chase the small target of 76 runs. Jacob Bethel scored 20 runs in 11 balls, while after this Devdutt Padikkal batted aggressively and scored unbeaten 34 runs in 13 balls. Virat Kohli also remained unbeaten after scoring 23 runs in 15 balls and the team achieved the target in just 6.3 overs.
Kyle Jamieson could take the only wicket in bowling for Delhi Capitals.
In this way, Royal Challengers Bangalore registered a one-sided win by 9 wickets and Delhi Capitals had to face the fifth defeat of this season.
