Royal Challengers Bangalore defeat Delhi Capitals by 23 runs

Digital Desk: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) crushed Delhi Capitals (DC) by 23 runs in the IPL 2023 match in Bengaluru on Saturday, extending DC's wait for their first victory. After their spinners helped them stop RCB at 174/6, Delhi got off to a terrible start chasing a modest 175. Before Mohammed Siraj's LBW catch of Yash Dhull, the side lost Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh for a score of 0. Vijaykumar Vyshak pulled David Warner after he started well but only managed to score 19. Delhi only managed 151/9 in response as Manish Pandey hammered a half-century and Axar Patel added a 14-ball 21.

Earlier, Kuldeep dismissed Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik in back-to-back deliveries, taking two wickets and starting RCB's middle-order collapse. Each of Axar and Lalit took a wicket. Virat Kohli scored 50 (34), continuing his incredible performance.
