In a one-sided contest, Royal Challengers Bengaluru registered a dominant nine-wicket win over Delhi Capitals in Match 39 of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, April 27.

After being put into bat, DC endured a dramatic collapse and were bundled out for just 75 in 16.3 overs. The top order crumbled inside the powerplay, managing only 13 runs, as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood ran through the lineup.

Bhuvneshwar struck early, including the wicket of debutant Sahil Parakh for a duck with an inswinging yorker, while Hazlewood’s four-wicket burst dismantled the middle order. Abishek Porel top-scored with 30, and a brief stand with David Miller offered some resistance, but the innings never recovered from the early damage.

In reply, RCB made light work of the chase, reaching 77/1 in just 6.3 overs. Jacob Bethell provided early momentum before falling, after which Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal stitched an unbeaten partnership to seal the match comfortably. The emphatic win also gave RCB a significant boost in net run rate.
