Royal Challengers Bangalore fans can regret now. If they had not lost 6 matches in a row in the beginning, then they would not have been so worried now. Still, Virat Kohli’s side got another win and kept their playoff chances alive.

Bengaluru beat Delhi Capitals by 47 runs on Sunday night. Delhi Capitals were bowled out for 140 runs in 19.1 overs to answer the 187 runs scored by Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli.

With this win, Royal Challengers Bangalore has moved up to fifth place in the table with 12 points from 13 matches. Bangalore have only one match left in the group stage. Even if they win that match, the last four will not be guaranteed, they will have to look at other matches as well.
