Philip Salt took it very seriously. Now RCB is paying the cost of Siraj's fault.#RCBvDC pic.twitter.com/Xt6To6EnKl

Although Siraj had a very off day at the office as he conceded 28 runs in only two overs with a very high economy rate of 14.00 and also went wicketless. Phil Salt went after Siraj and smashed him for a lot of runs in a single over.
Talking about the other activities of the match, the visitors’ skipper Faf du Plessis won the flip of the coin and decided to bat first. Batting first, RCB posted 181 runs for the loss of four wickets in the allotted 20 overs. Former skipper Virat Kohli and Mahipal Lomror scored half-centuries and played the crucial knocks of 55 and 54 runs respectively.
Other than these two; skipper du Plessis also scored 45 runs off just 32 balls with five boundaries and a six to his name. Mitchell Marsh scalped two wickets for DC alongside one wicket each claimed by Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar.
While chasing the target, Delhi Capitals comfortably crossed the line only in 16.4 overs for the loss of only three wickets and won the match by a margin of seven wickets. Opener Phil Salt played a swashbuckling knock of 87 runs off just 45 balls with eight boundaries and six sixes with the wood.
