RCB vs DC: Watch- Aman Hakim Khan Takes A Blinder To Dismiss Dangerous-Looking Faf Du Plessis

Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper David Warner won the toss & opted to bowl first. Mitchell Marsh came back into the side after missing the last 3 matches due to personal commitments. Skipper Faf du Plessis made one change as the shrewd spinner Wanindu Hasaranga replaced David Willey. Faf du Plessis would be aiming to bounce back strongly after a heartbreaking loss against LSG.

Virat Kohli & Faf du Plessis got RCB to a decent start. RCB scored 33 runs at the end of 4 overs. David Warner’s decision to introduce Axar Patel early into the attack (*2nd over) surprised the duo as Axar Patel made sure that he didn’t give ample room to the batters & bowled quite a wicket-to-wicket line.

The pitch doesn’t look like a 200-run track, unlike the previous one against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). It would be interesting to see when David Warner brings back Anrich Nortje into the attack after getting hammered for 11 runs in the first over of the match.

Watch- Aman Hakim Khan takes a screamer

Mitchell Marsh was bowling the 5th over, and Faf du Plessis unleashed an attack on Mitchell Marsh on the 3rd delivery by going deep into the crease and smashing a boundary. Mitchell Marsh’s variations weren’t proving to be effective.

Faf du Plessis went for a boundary towards the mid-wicket on the 5th delivery but Aman Hakim Khan took a stunner inside a 30-yard circle. Faf du Plessis was dismissed on 22 runs in 16 balls as he struck 3 fours and 1 six. RCB’s score at that time was 42-1 in 4.4 overs.

Crucial Phase for DC

David Warner would sense that they are in the game as we have witnessed how Virat & Faf have the knack of taking the game away from the opposition. The role of the left-arm chinaman Kuldeep Yadav would be quite decisive in this high-voltage clash.

Virat now needs to make sure that he makes the most of his start as the middle order is quite inexperienced. It won’t be a surprise if Dinesh Karthik promoted up the order who could accelerate against the spinners. RCB must aim to post a target in excess of 170 as defending is quite tough at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
