IPL 2019: Match 20, RCB vs DC – Twitter Reacts as Royal Challengers Bangalores Losing Streak Continues
Apr 7, 2019 at 7:54 PM
Delhi Capitals (DC) presented a clinical performance to beat Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by four wickets at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium to keep the home sides losing streak intact.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals got off to the worst possible starts losing Shikhar Dhawan in the first over during chase. Tim Southee provided a perfect start to Royal Challengers Bangalore but Prithvi Shaw and Shreyas Iyer stitched 69 runs for the second wicket to bail their side out of danger. Iyer was in outstanding touch as he smacked the ball all over the park. Pawan Negi struck at the right time but Iyer continued to rotate the strike this time with Colin Ingram.
The duo added 39 runs for the third wicket before Moeen caught Ingram LBW to have Delhi Capitals at 108 for three. But Iyer and Rishabh Pant took their side close to the winning runs before Royal Challengers Bangalore struck thrice but it was too late as Delhi Capitals overhauled the target with ease,
Previously, Kagiso Rabada bowled a spectacular spell to contain the heavyweight Royal Challengers Bangalore to 149 runs. Rabada dismissed Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Akshdeep Nath, and Pawan Negi as the home side couldn’t stitch a good partnership. Despite that, a blinder from Moeen Ali (32 off 18) and a patient knock from Virat Kohli (41 off 33) helped them post a respectable score on the board.
Kohli changed his tactics to play the waiting game while batters around him tried to play shots. However, batsmen from the other end kept getting out hurting the chances of putting a good total. But a late cameo from Moeen Ali including one boundary and three sixes to post 149 runs on the board.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore losing streak continues this season as they now have lost six games on a trot.
