After having made a positive start to their campaign with a win against five-time IPL winners, Mumbai Indians (MI), Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) went on to suffer a series of losses as they lost two consecutive matches in a row. After their back-to-back defeats, RCB are now languishing at the bottom half of the points table, i.e. they are lying in the seventh place. Their last match saw Lucknow Super Giants prevailing as winners in a high-scoring contest. Batting first, RCB’s top-order batters, Faf Du Plessis (79), Virat Kohli (61), and, Glenn Maxwell (59) came good with the bat as they raced to a daunting total of 212. IPL 2023: Tough Pill To Swallow, Taking It This Close, Says GT Captain Hardik Pandya After Victory Against PBKS in Last-Over Thriller.

While defending 213, RCB bowlers failed to restrict their opposition from chasing down the target as LSG’s batters, Marcus Stoinis (65) and Nicholas Pooran (62), helped the unit chase down the target. RCB’s bowlers did manage to pick up crucial wickets but they came at the cost of too many runs.

For Delhi Capitals, they were hoping to start their IPL 2023 campaign with a win but they were only met with losses in their four games. Their four consecutive losses saw them reeling at the last place – 10th spot – after playing four games and will require victories in a few matches if they are to make it to the playoffs of the IPL.

During the four games, their batters, except captain David Warner, all others have failed to come good with the bat. Warner has smashed three 50s out of the four games that he has played. Whereas, their bowlers have also underperformed as spinner, Axar Patel got just one wicket out of the four games played, and, Kuldeep Yadav scalped just two, this shows the lack of quality from their bowling department. If Delhi are to register their first win of the tournament, bowlers in the likes of Mukesh Kumar, Anrich Nortje, and, Mustafizur Rahman has to fire with the ball. Wriddhiman Saha Completes 2500 Runs in IPL, Achieves Feat During PBKS vs GT IPL 2023 Match.
