RCB have won 4 out of their 6 matches in the IPL 2022 season so far.
Invited to bat first, RCB rode on Dinesh Karthik’s brutal 66* off 34 balls and Glenn Maxwell’s 34-ball 55 to post 189/5 in their 20 overs. Shahbaz Ahmed also played a valuable knock of 21-ball 32*.
For the Capitals, Shardul Thakur (1-27) and Akshar Patel (1-29) bowled economically and picked up one wicket each.
In reply, DC managed 173/7 in 20 overs. Opener David Warner top-scored with a brilliant knock of 38-ball 66 while captain Rishabh Pant returned with 17-ball 34 but the duo failed to take the team over the line. Apart from Warner and Pant, none of them in the Delhi batting line-up managed to touch the 20-run mark.
Josh Hazlewood starred with the ball for RCB, claiming three wickets by conceding 28 runs in his four overs. Mohammed Siraj (2-31) also finished with impressive bowling figures and took a couple of scalps.
Cricket experts on Twitter lauded the RCB team for their excellent performance with the bat and ball against DC.
