IPL23 Match no 50 RCB vs DC this Match DC won by 7 wickets. Phil Salt (Player of the Match): "We spoke beforethe game about being positive and take them on.We saw how good they were in Bangalore whenthey had their tails up.The real strength of mine is when I get going Idon't really look to take my foot off the pedal toooften. We knew the wicket was quite slow andlow and we knew that realistically we would slowdown in the middle.I thought it was par. I thought we would have tobat really well to get there but the boys came outswinging and played really wel.Marsh came in and hit the second ball for six orsomething like that and it puts the bowlers on thebackfoot. He's a top player.David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "That wasamazing. I thought 180 was probably par score.The ball started skidding nicely at the back end. Iwas confident restricting them to 180 if we comeOut with the intent led by Phil Salt to try chase thistotal down.We said from the outside that we wanted to gofor the target. Siraj and Hazlewood might havebowled the other overs well but that was Ourintention today. Siraj has been bowling extremelywell and he's their backbone. He takes earlywickets in the powerplay and if we take him on a little bit and bring back his length where a lotof his dismissals have been bowled and LB. Thatwould work in our favor. We were able to get to agood start in the first 6 anda great finish there bySalty and Rilee.Credit to the way the bowlers have bowled. Theywere fantastic, they defended 130 twice. Anrichisn't here one of the most experience but Ishantleading there and Khaleel which makes us astronger. Indian bowling component. With theexperience of Kuldeep and Axar as well. They are2 outstanding bowlers and we gota great team anda great momentum now.Its all about momentum and its all jammed atthe momnent We go on to Chennai now. We knowits gonna be a tough one down there. They'vegot some good momentum as well. I think we'vefound the right balance now at the right time." Rilee Rossouw (Delhi Capitals): "We bowled quitewell. It was a great result for us. I thought it wasa decent score. Warner and Salt were wonderfulup at the top. Then Marsh followed it really well. Icame up with the same intent and tried to knockoff the remaining runs. We are wonderful as agroup. It has been an amazing feeling. They arevery supportive even though not playing.It was a tricky pitch. It was gripping and turningearlier. I think Salt playeda blinder. He wasfantastic and the way he took on the bowlersin the fist six set the match for us. Otherwise, iwould have been a tough chase. The intent of can't lose anymore brings out thebest in us. We can't lose any game from here andthe freedom it gave us was the result you sawtonight. The way we played tonight no one will tellthat we lost 6 games or how many ever. We needto keep going and who knows we might be luckyto sneak into the playoffs." Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers BangaloreCaptain): "I felt it was pretty close. We walkedaway with a total of 180+ andat the halfway markit was close. There was a bit of dew and we haveto give credit to their batters.The dew came and our spinners couldn't comeinto the play. A little bit of dew and it hamperedOur plans. I felt that the pitch changed a bit as thematch progressed. When we batted it was quiteslow. At the end of the 12th over, we thought.was a good score. Obviously, you want one ot uieovers to go for 15-20 and get to 2O0. But they got off to a strong start and the base wasset. With the dew settling in, our bowlers weren'tin control of the proceedings. Their batters putour spinners under pressure. We gave a goodfoundation for Maxi to come at three. But verypleased to see Lomror the way he played. Goodtalent and finally, he showed what he has got.Very positive from him. We want someone atnumber 3 to score runs and that will be icing onthe cake. Delhi Capitals finally removethemselves from the number 10 spot in thepoints table with a thumping win over theRoyal Challengers Bangalore by 7 wickets! Amagnificent batting display from the hosts whereevery batter who got the opportunity banked on itand took the team to win with 20 balls in hand.RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the tOss earlierand elected to bat first with RCB scoring 181/4their 20 overs on the back of half centuries froMahipal Lomror (54* off 29) and Virat Kohli (55 off 42 ) RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss earlierand elected to bat first with RCB scoring 181J4 intheir 20O overs on the back of half centuries fromnMahipal Lomror (54* off 29) and Virat Kohli (55 off46).

Thetwo spinners have been great, they are our rock.These are very experienced bowlers and theycan't let you down. You just need to maneuverthem well.From day1, he [Ishant Sharma] kept telling methat I am ready, Iam ready. unfortunately, hewas down with a fever during two games, butcredit to him for standing up tall.

Maybea few runs short but the spinners dida fine joband we did a greatjob closing out the game inthe end. There was a bit of inconsistency on thelength and we decided to bowl there. I tried tokeep it simple. Just focus on the target and go.But the plan is always to keep it simple. The planwasn't to bowl half-volleys. But you get someidea of where the guy is going to hit and it helnsMukesh was very clear with his plans. He focureally well in the end. He took his time andexecuted the plan brilliantly."Aiden Markram (Sunrisers Hyderabad Skipper):"Not good with the bat again.

IPL23 Match No 32 RCB vs RR this match RCB won by 7 runs. Glenn Maxwell: "Yeah, it's a position that I don'tmind coming to bat. I have done that many timesplaying for Australia whenever they lose twoquick wickets in the powerplay. Came into theseason with good form, and have a good trust inthe dressing room.With the new ball, it skidded off the surfaceand came nicely to the bat and needed to beproactive. As the ball became old, it became a bittricky for the batters. You saw the chaos in the lastphase of the innings. But thought that the scorewe put in was enough on this surface.I thought that it was my job to finish the jobfor the team. Should have batted through andmade sure that wve end up posting a big total. IfImanaged to get through that ball or even tooka single, I would have stayed longer and finishedthe innings. I think it's myjob, very simple. Thereis a big gap in the batting line-up which I have to Royal Challengers Bangalore won by 7 runstake the responsibility to fill. Overall, happy withthe win."Virat Kohli (Royal Challengers Bangalore Captain):"To be honest we had this discussion at the toss,the pitch looked dry. The impotant thing was,we had10 overs under the lights and if we hit theright lines they could not get it a way but with theimpact player rule the game is different and weare very happy we could win it.I was saying to Harshal upstairs because I thinkthis counter-attack was better than the ChennaiGame. The way Maxi came out and batted wasamazing, to take the game away in just 4 overs,and then Fafjoined in too, it was an amazing partnership. We thought at one stage 160 wouldbe enough but the way they batted, they put us ina commanding position.Siraj's wicket of Buttler was phenomenal, he isbowling as well as I've seen over, he is leadingour attack until Josh comes in next game andhe has been doing a tremendous job, I'm realyhappy with him. Harshal bowls the tough overs,he does not have the new ball in hand, and youare going to get hit at times but he isa smart guyand for him to bowl like that and close the gamewas fantastic. He bowled well in the Delhi game too and once Josh is back we will have a newbowling unit"Active Catch of the Match: Shahbaz Ahmed (SanjuSamson's catch)Longest Six Award: Glenn Maxwell (91 Metres)Most Fours Award: Faf du Plessis (8 Fours)Most Valuable Asset of the Match: Glenn Maxwell Mohammed Siraj (Royal Challengers Bangaloreand current Purple Cap Holder): "Ialways try tokeep it simple and bowl on good length tryingto swing it I am enjoying the challenge to bowlwith the new ball. The ball is coming out of thehand nicely. Purple Cap comes and goes butperforming consistently is what matters themost. Only one ball has swung into Jaiswal andthe others went aCross. Then I concentrated onSCrambled seam more often. There was a bitreverse and not east to hit those for sixes. Hajwith the role of a leader of the bowling."Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Ahh..I think when we play in this ground anythingaround 12-13 runs in the final over is gettable.It's all about momentum and usually, Hettie(Hetmyer) does it for us. Today, Jurel was briliantand scored well. But it was a matter ofa shothere and there. The selection of the numberthree batter depends on which team we areplaying against, who is bowling and what is thesituation. Whether we are chasing or setting atarget. Yeah, I think with his experience Ashwis definitely a batter to come ata pressuresituation. He has done it before. He was there in acOuple of matches and did well to provide someboundaries. So, he was the man at that moment.Winning and losing are the parts and parcels ofthe game. In IPL these come and go (on losingmargins getting closer). We need to put it on theback and move in with daily routines."7:30 PM IST | AND WITH THAT THE ROYALCHALLENGERS BANGALORE SEAL A THRILLINGVICTORY IN THE GAME!
