Match number 22: RCB won defeated DC by 1 run
It is always interesting to see when two heavy weights collide for a single reason which is just to prove themselves better than the other. The same happened on Tuesday between RCB & DC. The match went to the death overs & RCB won the match by just 1 run. It was a match between present & the future, between Rishabh Pant & Virat Kohli.
The Bangalore side scored 171 for five thanks to an unbeaten 42-ball 75 by AB de Villiers. Needing 14 off the final over, Delhi fell agonisingly short thanks to a solid final over from Mohammad Siraj. DC is now in the third position in the point’s table right below CSK.
