Stats: DC's Powerplay ignominy, RCB's chase highs

13 runs scored by DC in overs 1-6 is the lowest Powerplay total in IPL history, surpassing 14 runs each by RR against RCB in 2009 and by SRH against RR in 2022.

Lowest Powerplay (1-6 overs) totals in the IPL

7 runs at the fall of the fifth wicket by DC is the second-lowest score by a team in an IPL innings after 6 runs by KTK against Deccan Chargers at Kochi in 2011. DC also recorded the lowest IPL score at the fall of the sixth wicket (8 runs).

6 wickets lost by DC is the joint-most by any team inside (1-6 overs) in an IPL innings in a non-curtained game alongside as many by KTK against Deccan in 2011.

81 balls remaining to chase 76 runs by RCB against DC is the second-most in a successful IPL chase, only behind 87 balls left by MI to chase 68 runs against KKR at Wankhede in the 2008 season. The previous record for RCB was 71 balls against KXIP while chasing 89 runs at Indore in 2018. This is the 15th time RCB has won by 9 or 10 wickets in an IPL game, well ahead of SRH and MI (9 times each).

Most balls remaining in a successful IPL chase

138 balls were bowled in the RCB-DC match, making it the second-shortest completed IPL match (excluding rain-shortened games). The shortest remains the 125-ball clash between MI-KKR at Wankhede in 2008.

75-all out by DC is the seventh-lowest first-innings total in the IPL. This is DC's third-lowest IPL total after 66 against MI in 2017 and 67 against KXIP in 2017. This is the third time DC bowled out for 75 runs or below in IPL - the second most by any side after RCB (4).

Lowest first innings totals in the IPL

It is also the lowest first-innings total and the third-lowest total by any team against RCB in IPL, behind 58 and 59 by RR in 2009 and 2023, respectively.

20 dot balls bowled by Suyash Sharma today against DC are the most by a spinner and joint-most by a bowler in an IPL innings alongside Munaf Patle (RR) against KKR at Durban in 2009, Deepak Chahar (CSK) against KKR at Chennai in 2019, and Umran Malik (SRH) against RCB at Brabourne in 2022. 7 runs conceded by Suyash is also the fewest runs conceded by a spinner in a full 4-over spell in an IPL match.

1/7 (4 overs) by Suyash is also the joint-most economical 4-over spell by uncapped indian bowlers in IPL alongside Rahul Sharma's (2/7) for PWI against MI at DY Patil in 2011.

9012 runs by Virat Kohli - the first player to complete 9000 runs in the IPL. 1172 runs off those he scored against DD/DC - the second most runs by any batter against an opponent in IPL behind his own 1174 runs against CSK.

7/17 by Bhuvneshwar and Hazlwood is the fourth-best combined bowling figures for opening bowlers in an IPL innings after 8/29 by Ishant Sharma & Dale Steyn for Deccan Chargers against KTK in 2011, 8/42 by Starc & Sreenath Arvind for RCB against KXIP in 2015, and 8/58 by Praful Hinge & Sakib Hussain for SRH against RR earlier this season.

Three wickets each by Bhuvneshwar and Hazlwood inside the powerplay is also the first time two bowlers picked three wickets each in overs (1-6) in the same IPL innings.

4/12 is Josh Hazlewood's joint best bowling figures in T20 cricket alongside those against Sri Lanka in Sydney in 2022. This effort by Hazlewood is the second-best figures for RCB vs DC in IPL after 5/25 by Jaydev Unadkat at the same venue in 2013.

189 runs (264 vs PBKS & 75 vs RCB) difference for DC in their last two innings totals - it is the highest difference in two successive games for any team in the same IPL season (excluding no-results, successful chased games). The previous highest was 164 runs by RCB in 2017, when they scored 213 against GL & then bowled out for 49 runs against KKR in the two successive matches.

2.5 overswhen DC used their impact sub against RCB today is the second-earliest usage of the Impact substitute in the first innings of an IPL match. MI used this option in the second over in their game against RR at Wankhede in 2024.
