Stoinis hit a quick-fire half-century to help Delhi post 196-4. Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje and Axar Patel then restricted Bangalore to 137-9 for a 59-run win at the Dubai International Stadium.

The win took Shreyas Iyer’s young side above Mumbai Indians at the top of the league.

Bangalore remain in third place, but the margin of the loss was another blow to their net run-rate, which is the worst in the competition.
