Bengaluru vs Delhi, Live Score, Match 26, Indian Premier League, 2026

Kuldeep Yadav to Phil Salt, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Kuldeep strikes with a big, big wicket and helps DC come back in the contest. Short and wide, angled across Salt. He reaches away from his body, trying to flat-bat it down the ground, but gets neither the elevation nor the gap, and Tristan Stubbs takes a simple catch at long off. Salt's fine knock is halted. 99/1 becomes 105/3 for the hosts.

Lungi Ngidi to Virat Kohli, OUT! CAUGHT! Lungi Ngidi strikes gold on his introduction to the attack. DC strike back just as RCB had started to put their feet down. Cross-seam delivery, on a good length, outside off. Kohli dances down the track and stays leg side of the ball. He looks to go up and over with a high elbow. Ends up hitting it square as the ball gets sliced off the outer half. Kohli holes out to deep point, where Pathum Nissanka makes no mistake, running a bit to his right. RCB are 52/1.

Axar Patel to Devdutt Padikkal, OUT! CAUGHT! Axar Patel breaks through for DC. Wonder why it took him so long to introduce himself. Very full and quick from Axar, on middle and leg. Padikkal crouches and swings to go down the ground but gets the height and not the distance. It goes only as far as long on, where David Miller does the rest well in front of the ropes. The 47-run stand has been broken. 

Mukesh Kumar to Rajat Patidar, OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT BEHIND! Absolute silence at Chinnaswamy as the skipper falls. Mukesh pushes it wide outside the off stump, on a very full length. Rajat Patidar couldn't resist himself from cashing on the width offered and tries to crash that over covers, but gets a thick outside edge and KL Rahul does the rest behind the wickets, taking a good low catch. Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 131/4 and Mukesh has his first wicket.

Axar Patel to Tim David, OUT! TAKEN! Axar Patel wins the battle against Tim David. Smartly bowled by the DC skipper and he gets his reward. David swings his bat in frustration as he walks off. Axar cleverly keeps it away from the batter's hitting arc and bowls it slower through the air too. This is full in length, wide on off. David backs away slightly before the ball is released and is made to reach out. He swings hard at it. The ball comes off the outer half of the blade and balloons to T Natarajan at short third. Natarajan takes a step forward from the edge of the ring and bends to take a safe catch.

Lungi Ngidi to Jitesh Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! End of a scratchy stay for Jitesh Sharma. Low full toss, outside off. Sharma swings to go down the ground but fails to get any sort of elevation on the shot. Hits it flat and straight down the throat of long off, where David Miller bends and takes the catch in reverse cup style.

Kuldeep Yadav to Romario Shepherd, OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! That looks straight and the finger has been raised. Romario Shepherd has reviewed the decision, though. This looks more in hope than anything else. This is fired in full and on middle by Kuldeep. Premeditation on the part of Shepherd, who gets low for the sweep but he is beaten for pace and the ball is too full for the shot. It sneaks under the bat and catches him low on the front pad, right in front of the stumps. No bat involved and it is three reds on Ball Tracking with the ball crashing into the middle and off stump. Shepherd started to walk as soon as he saw the replays on the big screen. DC strike another big blow.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Pathum Nissanka, OUT! LBW! RCB get the review right, and the Chinnaswamy crowd go ballistic. This tails back into the right-hander, on a good length, on middle. Nissanka walks down the pitch, but he is undone by the big, booming inswinger by Bhuvi. He hurriedly drops his bat down but the ball goes past the inside edge to rap him on the front pad. A loud shout but turned down by the umpire. That came back in a long way but Bhuvneshwar Kumar is keen on taking the review. Rajat Patidar sends it upstairs. No bat involved. The Ball Tracking comes up as three reds with the ball crashing into the top of the leg stump. Nissanka falls cheaply and DC are 2/1, chasing 176.

Krunal Pandya to KL Rahul, OUT! CAUGHT! Krunal Pandya breaks through for RCB. Speared in from around the wicket, full and around off. Rahul shimmies down the track and tries to go over long off. The bat turns in his hands and it goes off the outer half towards wide long off. Virat Kohli charges across to his left and dives to take a fine catch. The crowd is up and about. DC are 87/4, needing 89 more runs to win.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Karun Nair, OUT! CAUGHT! DC's Impact Sub falls without making much of an impact. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has another. This is on a short of a good length, on off. Nair comes down the track and throws his hands at the ball. The ball gets big on Karun and it goes off the outer half to deep backward point, where Phil Salt charges across to his left and leans forward to take the catch before rolling over on the practice pitches. 

Bhuvneshwar Kumar to Sameer Rizvi, OUT! CAUGHT! A blinder from Jitesh Sharma. The start gets even better for RCB. Kumar hurls it on a good length, a hint of away shape. Rizvi pushes away from his body as he goes hard on the drive. The ball shapes away to catch the outside edge. There is no one at slip, so Jitesh Sharma has to go himself. He flings himself to his right full-length and holds onto a spectacular one-handed grab.
