DC won the match

Coming back to the latest DC vs RCB match, Kohli’s 55, Du Plessis’ 45 off 32 balls (five fours and only six) and Mahipal Lomror’s 54 not out off 29 balls (six fours and three sixes) helped RCB to manage the first innings total of 181/4 in 20 overs.

In reply, DC opener Phil Salt powered with 87 off 45 balls (eight fours and six sixes) to comfortably guide his team to a much-needed victory. That batting played a massive role in the struggling Delhi franchise to reach the target in 16.4 overs after losing three wickets.
