IPL23 Match no 20 RCB vs DC this match RCB won by 23 runs.Virat Kohli (Player of the Match): "A tricky one.When it went up in the air, I first of all made sureno one's close to me as I wanted space to judgethe ball. It was difficult one and the other2 werequite easy.To be honest I was very disappointed that I gotoff to a full toss. I've been playing really well. After50I was targeting 30-35 runs in the next 10 balls.That's usually howIplay and that would havehelped us getting past 200. There was 1 thingImentioned to the guys in the change room.175 is enough on this pitch. It felt like it sloweddown considerably when the spinners came onto bowl and even the balls to hit off the backfootof Kuldeep specially were holding up. Unlike theother games that we played, maybe because weplayed in the day so I think we did well enough to get to 175 in the endand we had belief that itsenough.Player of the Match: Virat KohliFaf du Plessis (Royal Challengers BangaloreCaptain): "We needed that just to get theconfidence back in the group. T20 cricket is agame of that especially the bowling unit. We wereunfortunate to defend in a few games now. Its notalways easy at Chinnaswamy. So very proudofthe bowlers tonightIt was the first day game of the season also withthis new rule now with the extra batter you alwayswant to have some more runs on the board. 175ata day game normally feels like a good score.The way we bowled in the first6 overs, not onlytoday but in all the gamnes. Siraj setting the tonebeautifully.First 6 overs are the most important with the bat.You wanna try and play positive, get ahead in thegame almost. The way that they bowled was justunbelievable. Huge credit to our seamers in thefirst 6."Vyshak Vijaykumar (Royal ChallengersBangalore): "I didn't know that (on being therecord holder of Vyshak Vijaykumar's spell of4-0-20-3 are the best figures for an Indianbowler playing for RCB on IPL debut). It wasanice feeling to be playing here. It's my first outing.I was looking for an opportunity for a long timeand finally got a game. Yeah, Faf told me thatthe wicket has slightly on the slower side anditwas holding up a bit. Hence I went for a changeof paces. It rewarded me. I kept on bowling chard lengths with some change of pace. Yeah,again that was Faf who came in and said to go for a slower one when Warner was going all gunsblazing and it paid off for me. I was working onknuckleball for two years and now finally it haspaid the dividend for me. I was a bit nervous atthe start, but the management said to go Outthere andexpress myself. Yeah, I was bowlingatthe nets and helping out my teammates."David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "Yeah, lookI said at the toss that we need to bat well. Ourbatting didn't get together and we failed to ctdown a total that our bowvlers did well to restrictthem. See, once we lose three wickets inside thepowerplay, you are always behind the game. Sirajwith his tail up was bowling magnificently. See itshould have been an easy task to chase that scorein this ground but we failed to build partnershipsand couldn't get the win. The positives are thatOur bowlers were on spot and they managed torestrict the opposition. We have a five days offfrom the game now, and will come with betterintent. Yeah, we saw teams coming back fromlosing five games ina row to lift the trophy. Sowe will have that in mind and try to replicate tsame. powerful performance fromthe bowlers and handy contributions from thetop order has propelled the Royal ChallengersBangalore get their second victory in the IndianPremier League defeating the Delhi Capitals by23 runs.Quick recap to the game as DC won the toss andelected to chase.

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!
