\u201cThat\u2019s why they say you have to be on your toes in cricket. We have to move on from this match.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bengaluru veteran and Delhi\u2019s favourite son Virat Kohli, who was the star attraction in his home city, made an unbeaten 23 to guide the team home in just 6.3 overs. <\/p>\n
Kohli, who passed 9000 IPL runs during his innings, hit two sixes to wrap up the game, with Devdutt Padikkal at the other end on 34. <\/p>\n
Bengaluru, who won their first-ever IPL title last year, consolidated second place in the table behind leaders Punjab Kings.<\/p>\n
Kumar bowled opener Sahil Parakh for a duck with the second ball of the match after Bengaluru elected to field first.<\/p>\n
Hazlewood struck with successive balls in the next over as he took down previous-match centurion KL Rahul, for one, and Sameer Rizvi before Tristan Stubbs avoided the hat-trick ball. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just followed Bhuvi,\u201d said Hazlewood, who finished with figures of 4-12.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a little bit there in the first six overs. It was a little bit up and down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kumar dismissed Stubbs, for five, and Axar (0) in the next over to leave the Delhi dugout stunned by a disastrous batting performance on the same pitch they posted 2-264 in their previous match, albeit in a losing cause. <\/p>\n
Abishek Porel and David Miller attempted to stop the rot in a stand of 35. South Africa\u2019s Miller made 19 before he fell to Rasikh Salam. A dust storm then halted play for around 10 minutes. <\/p>\n
The storm settled and Delhi debutant Kyle Jamieson hit a six to send his team past Bengaluru\u2019s record low of 49 against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017. <\/p>\n
Jamieson\u2019s hit over the deep square-leg fence met with loud cheers from the home crowd but their joy was short-lived.<\/p>\n
Hazlewood bowled Porel for 30 to wrap up Delhi\u2019s innings.<\/p>\n
