2 Big Reasons Why Delhi Capitals Lost vs RCB

The Delhi Capitals (DC) suffered their 5th defeat in a row out of 5 matches as the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) emerged victorious on Saturday by 23 runs at the M Chinnaswamy stadium to bounce back after two consecutive losses.

Virat Kohli was the Player of the Match for his effort of 50 runs off 34 balls on a pitch that wasn’t as easy to bat as the previous Chinnaswamy pitch had been. Batting got difficult as the game progressed and Delhi Capitals managed 151 on the board in reply to RCB’s 174.

Here are 2 main reasons for Delhi Capitals’ loss vs RCB:

Another batting failure

David Warner, Prithvi Shaw

174 was a decent total on this surface but by no means a mountain to climb. The Delhi Capitals got off to a poor start with the bat. Once again, their opening combination of Shaw and Warner couldn’t post much as Shaw was run-out in the first over and Mitchell Marsh got out in the second over. Siraj dismissed Dhull in the 3rd over and in the 6th over, Warner was dismissed by debutant Vijaykumar Vyshak.

That laid the foundation of Delhi  Capitals’ batting misery today, and Manish Pandey’s half-century later was always going to go in vain.  Delhi Capital’s bowling has been alright in the tournament, but it is their batting that has been their weaker suit.

Failure to take a single wicket in death overs

Anrich Nortje has gone wicketless for three consecutive matches now.

The Delhi Capitals’ bowlers had done well to get back in the game after Kohli’s fifty. RCB slipped from 89/1 to 132/6 in 14.2 overs. This provided the Capitals with a comeback in the game, however, shockingly they couldn’t take a single wicket after that.

Anuj Rawat and Shabaz Ahmed formed a 7th wicket partnership of 42* (34). And while this stand may look slow – and it was – this helped RCB reach 174 as the pitch got challenging for batting and playing big strokes wasn’t an easy task.
