RCB Struggle to Post a Big Total
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, RCB could only manage 163 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in their 20 overs. Despite promising starts from a few batters, none could convert their innings into a big score. Phil Salt and Tim David both chipped in with 37 runs each, but a lack of solid partnerships kept the hosts from gaining momentum. DC’s bowling unit, particularly Kuldeep Yadav, kept the pressure on throughout the innings with tight spells and crucial wickets.
KL Rahul Anchors DC’s Chase
DC's chase began on a shaky note as both their openers were dismissed within the first couple of overs. However, KL Rahul took control of the situation, playing a captain’s knock under pressure. His unbeaten 93 off just 53 balls was a mix of elegance, composure, and smart shot selection. He found a steady partner in Tristan Stubbs, who remained not out on 38. The pair stitched together a match-winning partnership of 111 runs, guiding DC to victory with 13 balls to spare.
