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).

No, I was notthinking that it can happen. But if there was aloose ball, I would hit it. If there was a chance Iwould get it. Everything I try to learn from him[JosButtler]. The way he practices and plays his game.I was prepared for that, the practice, and whenIgo there, I can go for it. I knew that I had thepractice.Oh, I wasn't aware of it. Later when Ilooked atit, Isaw that it was a no-ball. Later, Sanju Bhai told methat koi baat nahi [not an issue in hindi]."Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals Captain): "Ithink me scoring runs hahaha [what didn't gowell]. I think the way Iplay this format was to goout there and play with a strike rate of 140 or 145strike rate, if we do this it is quite normal to getdismissals like this. It is a funny moment I feel. Iwas feeling that i was going to take a good catchandit happened. Sometimes you feel like thatandI did it.Yes off course, definitely right. Last day, it was wetgame, and the ball swinging through. We needto be used to play in wet ball and with Yuzi andAshwin, they have the experience to bowl with thewet balls. He is always looking at the batters andgetting the hints. A comprehensive win for theRajasthan Royals here in Guwahati as they winby 57 runs to notch up their second win in threegames. They have outplayed the Delhi Capitals inall facets of the game as David Warner's side losetheir third straight game in a row. A lot of issues toaddress for the Capitals.Chasing a mammoth 20O for the win, DelhiCapitals lost their impact player Prithvi Shaw fora bronze duck and Manish Pandey for a goldenduck. That set them back and they never gotgoing to be honest. Rilee Rossouw fell for 14.Skipper David Warner struggled through to get to65 off 55 balls. Lalit Yadav tried to give impetus tothe innings but he fell for 38 off 24 balls. The restof the batters did not get to double digits as theCapitals crawled their way to 142/9 in 20 overs.There was no intent shown through the course ofthe innings as not a single six was hit.98Trent Boult was the pick of the bowlers with 3/29in 4 overs. Ravichandran Ashwin chipped in with2/25 in4 overs. Yuzvendra Chahal got 3 wicketsfor 27 runs in 4 overs. Sandeep Sharma got theother wicket and bowled as miserly as ever. All inall, a disciplined bowling performance alongsidean awesome fielding performance from theRoyals.Earlier in the game, Rajasthan Royals whowere put into bat first came out all guns blazingcourtesy of their openers Yashasvi Jaiswal andJos Buttler. The duo put on 98 runs inside 9 overs.Jaiswal was the initial aggressor as he scored 60off 31 balls. Jos Buttler top scored and anchoredthe innings with his blistering 79 off 51 balls.Shimron Hetmyer's unbeaten 39 off 21 balls tookRR closer to the 200-run mark. They finished with199/4 in 20 overs.Mukesh Kumar was the pick of the bowlers for theDelhi Capitals with a couple of wickets in his spell.A wicket apiece for Kuldeep Yadav and RovmanPowell. It was a tough day for the Capitals inthe field and with the ball and all in all, thetournament has not started well for them.So, the Royals courtesy of their win climbs to thetop of the IPL standings owing to a superior netrun rate compared to the other teams.I knew that they have a lot of left-handers at thetop of the order. It was very important for getthrough the powerplay and Ashwin was verygood in helping us. No, I think he are still to figureOut it."Sanju Samson presents the purple cap toYuzvendra Chahal.David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "Whenyou are chasing 200, you have to start well inthe powerplay. Trent Bouit bowledamazinglyand we couldn't get well. It is always a challengeagainst him. It is all about the skills and the planfor powerplay. All and where we are professionalathletes. Out here it is all about executing. Wewill look to rebound here and head to Mumbai,perhaps Mumbai, swinging conditions again.athletes. Out here it is all aboutexecuting. Wewill look to rebOund here and head to Mumbai,perhaps Mumbai, swinging conditions again.The team will always look to bowl well to you.It's frustrating to hit to the fielders off late. Look Ithink, if we could have keep him around 170-180.With Khaleel Ahmed going down it was achallenge as well. Rovman Powell was good."Warner gets the Orange Cap.
