DC beat RCB by 59 runs!
Today DC was in a really good form. They excelled at batting as well as bowling. Whereas, RCB could not live up to their last performance against RR.
In the first innings, DC had a well maintained opening partnership of more than 65 runs but their captain could not score much this time. RCB contained DC successfully in the middle overs but were not able to do the same in the last few overs. Marcus Stoinis was hitting one boundary after another. He scored 53 runs of 26 balls out of which 6 were fours and 2 were sixes. Rishabh pant also helped in hitting some boundaries to increase the total.
In the second innings, RCB played well in the first 2 or 3 overs but after that, their batting line up collapsed. Everyone except their captain played irresponsibly and got out quickly. But, DC’s bowling was just exceptional today especially Kagiso Rabada with 4 wickets and an economy rate of just 6! Even Axar Patel bowled well with 2 wickets and an economy rate of less than 5.
Overall DC’s performance has been just too good this game in both batting and bowling, but RCB wasn’t able to keep patience while batting and could not contain DC’s batsman in the death overs.
