Cameron Green (Player of the Match): "Yes, a great game for our team. Unfortunately, it was a bit late, but we are still in the hunt and that's important.
It was a concern not getting 200. We took early wickets and pitch was not easy. We got lucky and then assessed the conditions and did well.
We identified that pace on the ball works for the batters. Pace off works for us and thankfully there was no dew. Spent a lot of times to get adjusted to the conditions.
Last year was a road, and this year it has something in it for the bowlers and that is good. Short ground and bowlers need help. Glad about it. Thank You."

Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain): "It's brilliant. Great way to put it. We have put in great performances and we are happy about it. It's all about confidence. We found that out. The batting has improved and we got to 200+ and now with the ball we are improving and taking wickets and bowling oppositions out.
That's a feeling that we have. It was not a match up that helped him. The ball was swinging and that's why we used Swapnil less. Axar was batting there as well. Hope he will get more overs in the coming games.
Yes, lot of work has gone behind the scenes. Behind closed doors we are getting it right and that for me is the shining light. We have 6-7 options with the ball and assess according to conditions. Siraj has come back well and Yash has been exceptional. Lockie Ferguson has done well as well.
Both batting and bowling needs to have a full crack and go hard. We have to play bold always. The wicket was different and inconsistent. We were 60 in the powerplay and the guys kept going and did well. Will keep going. Thank You."

Lockie Ferguson (RCB): "It was a combined effort. All the hard work we have been doing this season, its nice to get a few tricks at the end.
Even when we were losing, the leadership group was very even. Some disappointing games but at the same time we knew if we played to our potential, which we did recently, we can get a few wins and get on a roll.
The batters did extremely well. It was looking as the ball was gripping a lot more. The way the boys started was excellent, getting early wickets made my job easier tonight.
Certainly looking forward to a few days off and then see Chennai boys here in a few days. It has been challenging bowling here but its been great working with the group over here. Its nice when the whole bowling attack sort of picks up wickets throughout which makes the job easier for the rest of us."

Axar Patel (Delhi Capitals Captain): "I think the dropped catches cost us 20-30 runs extra and when you are four down in the powerplay then you are always chasing the game."
"It was two paced pitch, not easy to hit through the line. Some balls were skidding through while some were sticking in the pitch. 150-160 would have been a par score on this surface."
"Anything can happen (with three teams at 12 points on the points table), we have a travel day tomorrow and we will sit and analyse what can be done for the last group-stage match."

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru were excellent with the ball. Yash Dayal was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up 3/20 in 3.1 overs. Lockie Ferguson bowled well for his 2/23 in 4 overs. A wicket apiece for Swapnil Singh, Mohammed Siraj, and Cameron Green who bowled a miserly spell. There were two run outs in the innings as well.
