In the T20 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood bowled exceptionally well with the new ball, reminiscent of a Test match on a green pitch. Bhuvneshwar swung the ball while Hazlewood utilized the short delivery to trouble the Delhi Capitals’ batters. Their deadly combination led to Capitals collapsing to 8 for 6 in just 3.5 overs, with the top six batters scoring 0, 1, 1, 0, 5, 0. Despite a brief partnership between Abishek Porel and David Miller, Capitals were bowled out for 75, with Hazlewood finishing with figures of 4 wickets for 12 runs.
The match was a stark contrast to the high-scoring game played on the same pitch just two days prior, where 529 runs were scored for the loss of 6 wickets. Bhuvneshwar started the collapse by dismissing Sahil Parakh, Tristan Stubbs, and Axar. Hazlewood also contributed with crucial wickets, getting rid of K.L. Rahul, Sameer Rizvi, and Porel to end the Capitals’ innings.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru chased down the target in just 6.3 overs to secure a convincing nine-wicket victory. The Capitals were left with a lot to ponder after the humiliating defeat. The match took place on April 27, 2026.
