Phil Salt struck a handsome 87 from 45 balls as DC landed a blow to RCB's chance of entering the Top 4, leaving them sitting at the fifth position in the IPL standings for the time being. In doing so, he kept his team's hope of a playoff berth alive. After winning the toss and choosing the bat first, RCB's Virat Kohli struck a landmark fifty, reaching 7000 tournament runs in the process. Along with Faf du Plessis, he put on an 82-run opening stand and later, a 55-run partnership with Mahipal Lomror. Lomror himself struck his highest score of the competition (54 from 29 balls) powering his team to a competitive 181-4. Their bowlers, however, put on a disappointing show and were taken aback by Salt's assault initially and then, cameos from Mitchell Marsh (26 off 17 balls) and Rilee Rossouw (29* from 21 deliveries), as DC took home a hard-earned win by 7 wickets.
