Royal Challengers Bengaluru rode a storm of sheer pace fury to annihilate Delhi Capitals by nine wickets in their IPL clash here on Monday, after unleashing a Powerplay spell so vicious that it virtually ended the contest within the first three overs.

Josh Hazlewood (4-12) and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3-5) turned the Powerplay into a demolition act, ripping through Delhi with two ruthless three-over bursts that left the hosts gasping at 13-6.
