DC LOSE! In the end RCB win by 23 runs but the fact remains Delhi were never in the match and they ended up coming a lot closer only because DC's tail wagged. 5th loss in a row for DC and this would surely be very difficult to overcome.

Faf du Plessis: Would have done the same. Hopefully it will turn in the second innings. This stays a good wicket generally. Will be important for me and Virat to assess the conditions early. It's difficult to defend in death overs. We have been good at our home ground as a batting unit. You got to pick your best batters and bowlers.

David Warner: We are going to bowl first. The ground looks incredible, credit to the staff here. It's about getting one win, the momentum follows from there. We don't want to lose wickets in the powerplay. We have change. Marsh comes in for Powell.
