Dinesh Karthik batted with authority in his unbeaten 34-ball 66 before the bowlers staged a fine comeback as Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Delhi Capitals by 16 runs in the Indian Premier League here on Saturday. Karthik blazed away after Glenn Maxwell hit seven fours and two sixes in his 55 off 34 deliveries to take RCB to 189 for five. In reply, the Capitals could only manage 173 for seven despite David Warner's sensational 38-ball 66. It was RCB's fourth win in six games and they are now third on the points table while Delhi slumped to their third loss in five outings.
IPL 2022, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Score Updates: Delhi Capitals (DC) face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Match 27 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. DC got back to winning ways in their previous match after thrashing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). RCB, on the other hand, saw their three-game winning run ended by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). DC have been pretty good with the ball, but will seek more consistency in the batting department. RCB, on the other hand, have leaked runs with the ball, and will look to work in that area. Mitchell Marsh has been training in the nets but it's not clear whether he'll play or not. RCB could also make a tweak or two as they look to improve on their death bowling. Harshal Patel could also make his comeback after missing the last game. (LIVE SCORECARD)

David Warner and Prithvi Shaw laid a strong platform for DC against KKR, before Kuldeep Yadav and Khaleel Ahmed did the rest with the ball. The DC management is likely to stick with the same team for their game against RCB.
Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is possibly the next big thing in Indian cricket and he has the potential to change the complexion of any game within minutes. Fans also like Pant as he has a knack of riling up the opposition batters while he is doing wicketkeeping. Pant is one chirpy character behind the stumps and he knows how to get under the skin of opposition batters. Pant's Team India and Delhi Capitals teammate Axar Patel has now revealed why Pant likes to make weird noises behind the stumps at certain times.
Physio positive, Delhi players confined to rooms before RCB tieTwo wins from four matches don't make for a bad report card, but Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant and coach Ricky Ponting will know they are far from an ideal start. Now they have other troubles too. Just as the team was looking to get into the groove ahead of Saturday's match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, each member was confined to their rooms on Friday after physio Patrick Farhart tested positive for Covid-19.
India last won the ODI Cricket World Cup in 2011 and since then MS Dhoni's match-winning six from the final against Sri Lanka has gone down into cricket folklore. The former India skipper is also considered by many fans and experts as a pivotal figure in the win due to his captaincy and also for batting earlier than his usual position in the crunch final clash. But former India spinner Harbhajan Singh, who was part of the World Cup-winning team, feels the win was possible only due to teamwork and not due to individual performances.
