Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals (Match 62) – Highlights 

Bengaluru had a dreadful start in the current season. Royal Challengers Bangalore fans can regret it now. If they had not lost 6 matches in a row in the beginning, they would not have been so worried now. Still, Virat Kohli’s side got another win and kept their playoff chances alive.

Royal Challengers Bangalore won five matches in a row and turned around. On Sunday (May 12), Du Plessis’s team Bengaluru won the 62nd match by defeating Delhi Capitals.

With this win, Royal Challengers Bangalore has moved to fifth place in the table with 12 points from 13 matches. Bangalore has only one match left in the group stage. Even if they win that match, the last four will not be guaranteed, they will have to look at other matches as well.
