The clash between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 20th match of IPL 2023 at the Chinnaswami Stadium resulted in RCB’s victory by 23 runs. This victory also marked DC’s 5th loss in a row.
While Delhi bowlers managed to restrict the RCB batters at 174/6 on a batting-friendly pitch, the batters couldn’t quite match up to their performance as the team once again failed to open their account this season.
Delhi's top order collapsed sooner than expected with Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh going back without opening their account, while Yash Dhull and David Warner departed after scoring 1 run and 19 runs respectively. The middle order tried to turn things in Delhi's favour but ran out of luck as Hasaranga struck and Manish Pandey had to go back to the dressing room after scoring 50 runs.
Delhi Capitals' performance this year has been far from impressive as the team has lost all its matches so far and is positioned at the last spot in the points table.
