Dinesh Karthik's night! Surely. Royal Challengers Bangalore, asked to bat first by Delhi Capitals, were tottering at 75/4 in the 10th over. Then Glenn Maxwell (55 off 34), DK (66 not out off 34) and Shahbaz Ahmed (32 off 21) ensured that they reached a defendable total. And they defended 189/5 to win the match 27 of IPL 2022 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Delhi got off to a flier, with openers Prithvi Shaw (16 off 13) and David Warner (66 off 38) putting on 50 in 4.4 overs. Skipper Rishabh Pant hit 34 off 17 but they kept losing wickets to fall short by 16 runs. Shockingly, Mitchell Marsh played a 24-ball 14-run knock in the middle of the Delhi chase. However, his Aussie compatriots in the RCB camp enjoyed good outings. Josh Hazlewood took 3/28. The win helped Faf du Plessis's Challengers move to third in the IPL points table. They are one of the three teams to have eight points after six matches each. Delhi Capitals dropped to eighth with four points from five matches.
