Chameera to Kohli, out Caught by Mitchell Starc!! Too late? Starc was at the edge of the fence and takes it. His calm hands under pressure is what DC wanted and Starc has taken a very smart catch in the end. Was a length delivery, well outside off, Kohli looked to launch it inside out but failed to get it over the fence. Got it too high and the distance was missing on the shot.

Kohli c Mitchell Starc b Chameera 51(47) [4s-4]

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David, SIX, Mukesh wasn't having a great day! Not the right call I feel. A low full toss and Tim David gets under it and lofts it over the man at long-off. That was hit flat and over

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David, no ball, FOUR, Tim David finishing it off for RCB as he has before. That was a short ball, angled in, Tim David pulled it over square leg. He failed to land that. Might well be a high no-ball as well. Mukesh Kumar has been under immense pressure. Poor call from Axar to give this over to Mukesh. Might get away here Mukesh but that was still pretty here. He hasn't been able to land the yorkers today. No-ball called. This should be the game for RCB. Free-hit coming up...Mukesh has been hapless tonight

fuller length delivery, outside off, Tim David gets the bat down and slams it wide of the man at deep point. Few days ago, Mukesh was taken to the cleaners by David but the skipper ignored that I guess

Mukesh Kumar to Tim David, FOUR, fuller length delivery, on the sticks, heaved away behind square for a four. That was timed and placed really well. Starc won't bowl his final over. Poor from DC and they lose this by 6 wickets. David with a fine little cameo helping his side to go to the pole position

Virat Kohli:
It was a top win, especially looking at the surface. This wicket played very differently to the other games. Whenever there is a chase on I keep checking with the dugout if we are on course, what is my role etc. Krunal.. today was his day. We were waiting for him to come into the tournament with the bat. Who are the bowlers to target. I try and ensure I don't stop my singles and doubles and combine with the occasional boundary. This year you can't just come out and hit, you have to assess, understand the conditions and then plan accordingly. We have communicated beautifully as a team in the batting and that's the reason we have 7 wins out of 10. It's looking good for us. We have Romario (Shepherd) after Tim (David) as well for extra added power. That firepower at the back end definitely helps. Hazlewood and Bhuvi are world class bowlers. There's a reason why he has the Purple Cap on his head. Krunal bowled well too. Don't forget that Suyash can be the dark horse as well. He may not have got the wickets but he has been good
