Result:Delhi Daredevils won by 17 runs

Royal Challengers won the toss and invited Delhi Daredevils to bat first.Desperate to get the winning momentum back,Delhi Daredevils openers gave them a good start. Warner and Sehwag scored over 10 runs per over before Warner got out in the 4th over with team score of 44/1 in 3.2 overs. Soon Sehwag also got out but Delhi Daredevils batsmen continued to make runs at good run rate. AB Villers and Kedar Jadhav got to a good partnership. Kedar Jadhav came as a surprise shocker for Royal Challengers Bangalore as he scored 50 runs of just 29 balls. In the end, Kedar Jadhav and Andrew McDonald took Delhi Daredevils score to 183/4 in 20 overs.

Chasing the target of 184 to win, Royal Challengers Bangalore started on a cautious note. The strategy seemed to be to save wickets and then launch the attack in end overs. Manish Pandey and Kallis gave them a solid start and took the score to 71 before Kallis got out in the 10t over. It was this wicket which paved way for Delhi Daredevils to strike back and break the middle order of Royal Challengers Bangalore. From 71/1 they were reduced to 90/4 in 12 overs. They needed a partnership to get another 94 runs in 8 overs. The required rate was mounting and the Royal Challengers Bangalore crumbled under this pressure. To add to the woes, some superb fielding by Delhi Daredevils and poor running by Royal Challengers led to 3 run outs. Royal Challengers could manage only 166/9 and thus lost the match by 17 runs.
