In the blink of an eye, DC were reduced to an unbelievable 8 for 6, with just one boundary coming in the powerplay as they limped to 13 for 6 after six overs \u2014 one of the worst starts in IPL history.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>Eventually, DC were bowled out for 75 in 16.3 overs, narrowly avoiding the lowest-ever IPL total \u2014 a record held by RCB (49 in 2017). <!-- -->Only Abhishek Porel (30), David Miller (19) and Kyle Jamieson (12) managed to reach double figures in an otherwise forgettable outing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Hazlewood fittingly wrapped up the innings by castling Porel, capping off one of the most ruthless new-ball spells seen in the league.
