| Kohli and de Villiers combine to knock Daredevils out of contention |
Royal Challengers Bangalore faced some tough moments against a Delhi Daredevils team that had five players under the age of 24 in a must-win game, but were guided to a comfortable win by their experienced stalwarts Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers. It was Royal Challengers' sixth consecutive win at the Feroz Shah Kotla and it knocked Daredevils - who needed three wins from three to reach the par-tally of 12 points - out of contention for the playoffs.
Kohli and de Villiers combined to make 142 of the 182 runs Royal Challengers needed to win after a whirlwind 46 not out from 17-year-old debutant Abhishek Sharma had dragged the home team back into the game after Rishabh Pant's relatively early dismissal for 61. Daredevils even managed to follow this with two early Royal Challengers wickets in the Powerplay, but were powerless after that as the chase was completed with an over to spare.
