IPL T20 :Delhi v Bangalore at Sharjah

Bangalore have won the toss and elect to bowl.

Nic Maddinson, Mitchell Starc, AB de Villiers and Albie Morkel are the overseas players.

No Chris Gayle then, at least from what Virat Kohli said at the toss....


Dinesh Karthik who is leading Delhi says Ross Taylor, Jimmy Neesham, Wayne Parnell and JP Duminy

are his overseas players

15 - 1 

2.6
Starc to Agarwal, OUT,  Starc digs it in and it comes in at an awkward bounce,

there is also a bit too much pace on the ball and he splices it to square leg

Agarwal c Kohli b Starc 6

16 - 2

3.3
Morkel to Karthik, OUT, golden duck for the captain !

What a ripper from Albie! claim a faint edge as Karthik prodded forward and the keeper did the rest

Karthik c †Patel b Morkel

17 - 3

4.1
Aaron to Tiwary, OUT, what a soft dismissal, caught down the leg side!

runs off the face and Parthiv collects another simple catch...

Tiwary c †Patel b Aaron 1

35 - 4

7.1  Chahal to Vijay, OUT, Vijay's beaten and the off stump is knocked back!

What a way to debut for your new franchise! It was a rapid legspinner which angled in
on middle and straightens just enough after pitching.

The third ump is roped in and replays show he is bowled neck and crop
M Vijay  b Chahal 1

49 - 4 at the half way mark !

this dun! 

After 14 ov Delhi are tottering at 79-4.They would need to score at least a 80 odd runs if they are to even leave a challenging total.With the team RCB has built in,i doubt they would need gayle at all....Anyways expecting a thrilling game..

100 up ! after 16.4

128 - 4 after 19
