Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) couldn’t defend their target of 182 when they faced Delhi Capitals (DC) on Saturday (May 6) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi. Phil Salt was the reason for DC’s easy victory as he played a sensational innings to deny the visitors the win and thrashed them in 17 overs while chasing that huge target.
Salt racked up a 45-ball 87, laced with eight boundaries and a whopping six maximums before he was sent to packing in the 16th over but it was too late. DC needed just three runs after his dismissal which was not a hard task and eventually the hosts thrashed RCB by seven wickets to clinch their fourth win of the season.
