IPL 2020: The current IPL tour of Virat Kohli & Company looked as shaky as the start. Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore face off at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Monday to finalize the play-offs. Shreyas Iyer, the captain of Delhi Capitals, had the last laugh in the fight for the 2nd place in the points table.

Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 wickets in Abu Dhabi. Delhi captain Shreyas won the toss. But despite winning the toss, he decided to field first. In the first innings, Royal Challengers Bangalore lost 6 wickets in 20 overs and scored 152 runs. In reply, Delhi Capitals lost 4 wickets in 19 overs and won the match by 154 runs.

Delhi's batting line-up looks shaky from day one. Opener Josh Philip was out for just 12 runs. However, another opener Devdutt Padikkal was continuing the game in his glory. Then Bangalore captain Virat Kohli was dismissed for 29 off 24 balls. AB de Villiers tried to catch the match but was run out at 35. At that time the Devdutt Padikkal made a half century.But Devdutt was out for 50 runs. And that is why the huge team fell in front of a great danger. Everyone from Chris Morris to Shivam Dubey , Isuru Udana went back to the pavilion at the speed of a storm. Bangalore lost 6 wickets in 20 overs and scored only 152 runs, which is like a kind of sniff for Delhi! Delhi's Anrich Nortje and Ravichandran Ashwin bowled brilliantly on the day. This is the first time Ashwin has taken a wicket from Virat Kohli in the IPL. Nortje took 3 wickets and Kagiso Rabada took 2 wickets.

Delhi, on the other hand, lost the wicket of Prithvi Shaw in 1 over 4 balls. And then Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan took the helm of the match. The two also formed a 100-run partnership. The good news for Delhi is that Ajinkya Rahane returned to the run after a long absence. Shikhar Dhawan also batted well on this day. However, Gabbar was dismissed for 54 off 41 balls. Rahane, on the other hand, returned to the pavilion for 60 off 48 balls.

Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer was also dismissed for just six runs. However, both Rahane and Gabbar paved the way for winning the match. In the end, Rishabh Panth and Marcus Stoinis led Delhi to victory in 19 overs. Like the batting, the bowlers of Bangalore could not look at the bowling on this day. Mohammad Siraj and Washington Sundar took 1 wicket each and Shahbaz Ahmed took 2 wickets.

After winning this match, Delhi Capitals secured the 2nd position in the table with 16 points. There are no more obstacles in front of Shreyas' team. Delhi also reached the play-offs. However, the most shocking thing is that even after losing this match, Royal Challengers Bangalore took a place in the play-offs. And the only reason is the net run rate (NRR).

Despite Delhi win the match on today, they had to play more than 17overs and 2balls, That is why the RCB went ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders in net run rate. If Delhi Capitals had won today's match in 15 overs, Bangalore's play-off would not have been ready. That means Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have reached the play-offs at the moment. Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will have to fight for the fourth place.

IPL 2020: Pushed to the wall, Sunrisers Hyderabad produced a clinical performance to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by five wickets and stay alive within the Indian Premier League play-off race on Saturday.

SRH first produced an excellent bowling effort to limit a batting-heavy RCB to a modest 120 for seven then chased down the target in 14.1 overs to zoom to fourth spot in the standings from seventh.

SRH now have 12 points from 13 games and need to win their last league game against table-toppers Mumbai Indians to remain within the hunt.

RCB, who needed a win to seal their play-offs berth, slumped to their third consecutive defeat within the tournament but stayed at second place within the table with 14 points from 13 games.

The 121-run target was always getting to be a enter the park for SRH during a small ground like Sharjah unless RCB inflicted early damage which they did not do.

RCB removed SRH skipper David Warner (8) early but they needed more wickets upfront to be within the contest.

After Warner's dismissal, Wriddhiman Saha and Manish Pandey (26 off 19) shared 50 runs for the second wicket in pace to require control of the chase.

But some brilliant spin bowling from Yuzvendra Chahal within the middle overs and over cautious batting from SRH gave RCB outside hope.

Chahal dismissed Pandey and Saha then Kane Williamson (8) was sent back by Isuru Udana to give RCB a ray of hope albeit the competition was tilted considerably in favour of SRH.

Jason Holder played a 10-ball 26-run cameo towards the top to require SRH home comfortably.

Earlier, SRH strangled RCB by learning wickets at regular intervals after opting to bowl.

Young Devdutt Padikkal (5) and skipper Virat Kohli (7) departed in quick succession, falling to Sandeep Sharma (2/20). Sandeep has now dismissed Kohli for a record seven times in IPL.

AB de Villiers made a run-a-ball 24 before perishing then Josh Philippe (32) again got a start but did not capitalise. He was caught by Manish Pandey off Rashid Khan (1/24) within the next over as RCB slumped to 76 for four in 11.4 overs.

RCB were wiped out by some incisive bowling from SRH bowlers upfront, leading to lack of partnerships, which is significant for any team to post an honest total on the board.

RCB's struggle with the bat are often gauged from the very fact that they hit only nine boundaries and a six in their entire innings despite having the likes of Padikkal, Kohli, De Villers and Chris Morris up their ranks.

After the first blows, Washington Sundar (21) and Gurkeerat Singh (15 not out) tried to resurrect the innings with a 30-run fifth-wicket stand but they never got the momentum.

Towards the end, both Sundar and Morris departed in quick succession to add misery to RCB's woes.

It was a clinical performance from SRH bowlers as RCB batsmen struggled to get going after the early dismissals.

Jason Holder too shone bright with the ball with figures of two for 27 from his four overs.
