Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) scored 163/7 in IPL 2025 Match No. 24 at the storied M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru after the Delhi Capitals (DC) sent them in to bat. An average effort replaced what appeared to be a possible 200-plus total following the blazing start.
In the first 3.4 overs, RCB amassed 61 runs without losing a wicket, giving them an incredible start to their innings. With Virat Kohli (22 off 14) and Phil Salt (37 off 17) both playing at their peak, the former was primarily responsible for the damage. However, Salt was run out as a consequence of a mix-up between the two, which drastically changed the innings’ momentum.
The home team soon faced pressure after the dismissal. Kohli quickly left after Devdutt Padikkal was dismissed for one. In the middle overs, DC rallied thanks to Kuldeep Yadav’s 2/17 and Vipraj Nigam’s 2/18 spell.
Tim David, an Australian batsman, saved his team with a late cameo of an undefeated 37 off just 20 balls, which included four sixes and two fours. RCB was greatly relieved by his power hitting in the last two overs, which helped them surpass the 160-run threshold—a total that seemed improbable only a few overs before. The Capitals will be the more contented team at the midway point because of the Bengaluru pitch’s batting-friendly characteristics.
