Nothing is going right for the Delhi Capitals in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). In the ongoing match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), the DC bowlers did everything right, restricting the opposition to 174, but the batters have yet again let them down.
At the half-way mark, David Warner and DC would have been happy with the efforts of the bowlers. On a track that assisted the batters, DC spinners spun their web and trapped the RCB batters in it.
However, it won't be an understatement to say that the RCB bowlers came out all guns blazing and took 3 wickets in the span of just 2 runs on the board. Mohammed Siraj, Wayne Parnell took a wicket-each and Anuj Rawat inflicted a run-out as the DC batters crumbled in front of a packed Chinnaswamy Stadium.
An under-pressure David Warner, alongside Manish Pandey tried to resurrect the innings. Warner struck three boundaries in a row to Siraj and looked like his former self, but fell prey to debutant Vyshak Vijay Kumar, as Virat Kohli took a simple catch at mid wicket.
Abhishek Porel followed his captain back to the pavilion as RCB could smell a victory from the distance.
At the time of writing, DC are crumbling at 55 for 5, with Manish Pandey batting at 29.
