IPL 2024: RCB vs DC Live Score Update – Delhi Capitals’ late surge limits Royal Challengers Bangalore to 187/9 in 20 overs

In a crucial match of IPL 2024, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) faced off against Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. The absence of Rishabh Pant, who was suspended for maintaining a slow over-rate, saw Axar Patel stepping in as the captain for DC.

Winning the toss, Axar Patel decided to put RCB to bat first. RCB, who had staged an impressive comeback with four consecutive wins, were looking to keep their hopes alive for a playoffs berth. However, a defeat in this match would confirm their disqualification from the race.

RCB’s strong batting performances, led by the prolific Virat Kohli, had set the tone for their innings. Kohli, with 634 runs in the IPL, had been instrumental in providing early momentum and setting or chasing targets. Supported by Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, and Dinesh Karthik, Kohli anchored a formidable batting lineup.

On the bowling front, RCB’s bowlers, including Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal, and Swapnil Singh, had been pivotal in their recent success. Their ability to keep the run rate under 10 in a high-scoring tournament showcased their effectiveness.

Facing RCB’s bowling attack was DC’s explosive opener, Jack Fraser-McGurk, who had amassed 309 runs at a stunning strike rate of 235.87. His partnership with Abhishek Porel had provided DC with strong starts despite Warner’s absence due to injury. DC’s middle order heavily relied on Tristan Stubbs in Pant’s absence.

In the bowling department, DC boasted spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, who had been economical while sharing 24 wickets between them. Their ability to contain RCB’s batters in the middle overs was crucial in determining the outcome of the match.

The match promised to be an exciting clash between two strong teams vying for a spot in the playoffs, with both RCB and DC looking to secure a crucial victory. Stay tuned for live updates on this high-stakes encounter.
