New Delhi: Jaidev Unadkat's maiden five-wicket haul and Virat Kohli's 99 helped Bangalore to a four-run win over Delhi at the Feroz Shah Kotla.
Chasing 184, the Unmukt Chand (41) and Ben Rohrer (32) duo put up a quick-fire 50-plus run partnership for the fourth wicket after the Daredevils lost openers Mahela Jayawardene and Virender Sehwag early to Jaydev Unadkat.
Jayawardene (19) looked dangerous as he hit 4 boundaries in his short-lived innings, but Unadkat had other plans in mind when he bowled the Sri Lankan on the first ball of his over after Mahela got an inside edge.
Soon after, Unadkat had Sehwag (18) caught at mid on by Cheteshwar Pujara right after the Delhi Dasher looked to do some damage by hitting Vinay Kumar for three successive boundaries in the previous over.
Moises Henriques then joined the wicket taking party as he comprehensively bowled stand-in skipper David Warner to leave the Daredevils reeling at 61/3 after 7 overs.
Earlier, a gritty innings by skipper Virat Kohli (99 off 58) helped Royal Challengers Bangalore post 183/4 against Delhi Daredevils.
Kohli in his blistering knock that included 10 boundaries and 4 sixes blasted the Delhi bowlers to all parts of the ground and helped get the Royal Challengers back into the game after a bad start.
AB de Villiers (32* off 17) too played a fiery cameo and hit two boundaries and the same number of sixes and along with Kohli put up an impressive 94-run partnership for the fourth wicket.
Earlier, Royal Challengers Bangalore got off to a bad start when Irfan Pathan and Siddarth Kaul struck for Delhi Daredevils to dismiss the openers Chris Gayle and Pujara cheaply.
Pathan started the party when he gave the Daredevils a big breakthrough by dismissing the dangerous Gayle for a meagre score of 4.
Shahbaz Nadeem then got Delhi Daredevils back into the game by dismissing Henriques.
Nadeem in his very last over proved instrumental in breaking the partnership as he took a brilliant catch off his own bowling to send Henriques (26) packing back to the dugout.
Earlier, Delhi Daredevils skipper David Warner won the toss and decided to bowl.
Warner is standing in as the captain of the Daredevils in this match in place of regular skipper Mahela Jayawardene, who is also playing the match.
