Phil Salt was at his attacking best as he starred in Delhi Capitals comfortable win over Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday night. Salt went berserk from the Powerplay overs itself as he smashed his way to an whirlwind 45-ball 87 an innings that was the main reason behind DC making a short work of the 182-run target which they overhauled with 20 deliveries to spare.
Besides Salt, Rilee Roussow (35* off 22) and Mitchell Marsh (26 off 17) also played good hands to contribute to the win. This was after RCB opted to bat first with their opening pair of Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis stitching an 82-run stand. Kohli made 55 whole Du Plessis scored 45.

Marsh struck for DC with two wickets in as many deliveries including that of Glenn Maxwell for a golden duck. It was Mahipal Lomror who provided the late flourish with an unbeaten 54 off 29 to help RCB finish with a competitive total. The win was DC’s fourth of the season and with that, they have moved to the ninth spot in the standings.
