Both of the IPL matches on Sunday saw some great batting performances from the four teams involved. Chris Lynn, Chris Gayle, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and AB de Villiers had had a great show lined-up for tonight.

After the third successive fifty from Gayle sealed a victory for KXIP, the clash between Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore also started with magnificent knock from Pant after which the curtains were drawn with another blistering knock by AB de Villiers.

Winning the toss, RCB invited the opponents to bat first. After losing both the openers early, DD rode Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant’s fifties to register a total of 174 for 5 wickets.

Iyer returned to the pavilion scoring 52 runs and Pant made 85 runs before leaving the crease.

Yuzvendra Chahal took 2 scalps while each of Washington Sundar, Umesh Yadav, and Corey Anderson picked up a wicket.

On the other hand, no batsman played extraordinarily for RCB other than AB de Villiers. Actually nobody had to, as the South Africa batsman singlehandedly steered the team to the victory. He played a splendid 90-run innings and remained unbeaten.

RCB skipper Virat Kohli made 30 runs before getting out. Mandeep Singh remained not out after playing a 9-ball 17 runs’ innings as RCB won the match by 6 wickets.

Harshal Patel, Trent Boult, and Glenn Maxwell took one wicket apiece for the Daredevils before RCB wrapped the match with 2 overs remaining.
