Delhi collapse for 75
Delhi Capitals were bundled out for just 75 runs in 16.3 overs, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/5) and Josh Hazlewood (4/12) leading the charge.
Abishek Porel top-scored with 30, while only David Miller (19) and Kyle Jamieson (12) managed double digits, as Delhi’s batting line-up failed against disciplined swing bowling.
