BENGALURU: Royal Challengers Bangalore produced a clinical bowling display after Kedar Jadhav's batting heroics as they beat Delhi Daredevils by 15 runs in their IPL match here today.Chasing 158 for a win on a Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch which was good for batting, Delhi messed up in their chase as they ended at 142 for 9. Young Rishabh Pant's 36-ball 57 which was studded with three fours and four sixes went in vain.Delhi lost wickets at regular intervals in the light of some tight bowling from RCB and none of their specialist batsmen did stay for long to give company to Pant. Sanju Samson's shot selection was left a lot to be desired as he fell in the 11th over and Delhi found themselves in trouble.Chris Morris fell in the final ball of the 13th over and Delhi needed 51 from 42 balls with five wickets in hand.It was anybody's game still with Delhi needing 37 from the final four overs. Watson conceded just five runs and also got the wicket of Pat Cummins (6) in the 17th over to tilt the game in favour of RCB.In a tense tussle, Pant hit a six off Tymal Mills but Delhi still needed 21 from the final two overs. But once he was out, RCB could not add too many runs.
