    Faf du Plessis, Wayne Parnell star as Royal Challengers Bangalore thrash Rajasthan Royals by 112 runs

    RCB bowlers, led by Wayne Parnell, put on a brilliant performance to dismiss Rajasthan for a pitiful 59 in just 10.3 overs. 

    Digital Desk: In the IPL 2023 match on Sunday, Royal Challengers Bangalore thrashed Rajasthan Royals with an astounding margin of victory of 112 runs. 

    The RCB top order, led by captain Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell, put in a strong showing, batting half-centuries to enable the team to record a respectable total of 171 for five after electing to bat.



    After that, the RCB bowlers, led by Wayne Parnell, put on a brilliant performance to dismiss Rajasthan for a pitiful 59 in just 10.3 overs. Michael Bracewell and Karn Sharma both took two wickets in addition to Parnell's three, making Rajasthan unable to keep up with the pace of the match.

    The RCB total was established by the 69-run partnership between Du Plessis and Maxwell for the second wicket, but the middle order struggled, leading to the loss of four wickets for only 18 runs. Despite this setback, RCB's unmatched play with the bat and ball gave them a resounding win over their opponents.

    Shimron Hetmyer scored the most runs for RR, scoring an astounding 35 runs off just 19 balls. With Adam Zampa and KM Asif each taking two wickets, RR's bowling assault was also impressive.
