Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel put his team being bundled out for 75 to Royal Challengers Bengaluru as "bad luck," but acknowledged the psychological shadow cast by their previous match, where they failed to defend 264/2 against Punjab Kings, may have contributed to a hesitancy that proved fatal.

At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC were bowled out for just 75 after losing six wickets in their first four overs, handing RCB a stunning nine-wicket victory. What also made the game a foregone conclusion was the international level batters and two promising youngsters in DC surrendering meekly without a plan B to counter swing and bounce generated by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood.
