Bengaluru had a dreadful start in the current season. Royal Challengers Bangalore fans can regret it now. If they had not lost 6 matches in a row in the beginning, they would not have been so worried now. Still, Virat Kohli’s side got another win and kept their playoff chances alive.
Royal Challengers Bangalore won five matches in a row and turned around. On Sunday (May 12), Du Plessis’s team Bengaluru won the 62nd match by defeating Delhi Capitals.
Bengaluru beat Delhi Capitals by 47 runs in their 13th match in the current IPL and at their ground. Batting first, Kohli’s team lost 9 wickets and scored 187 runs. Besides, Delhi Capitals were bowled out for 140 runs in 19.1 overs to answer the 187 runs scored by Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli.
With this win, Royal Challengers Bangalore has moved to fifth place in the table with 12 points from 13 matches. Bangalore has only one match left in the group stage. Even if they win that match, the last four will not be guaranteed, they will have to look at other matches as well. However, with equal points, Delhi is behind in run rate and is sixth in the table.
Delhi won the toss and put hosts RCB into bat at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. After losing the toss, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis made a partnership of 23 runs. Plessis was out for 6 runs and Virat Kohli was dismissed for 27 runs.
