IPL 2024: Rajat Patidar, Yash Dayal keep RCB's playoff hopes alive with 47-run win over Delhi Capitals

Yash Dayal's impressive performance, taking three crucial wickets, led Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a 47-run victory over the Delhi Capitals at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday. Despite the valiant efforts of Delhi Capitals' skipper Axar Patel, the team fell short of the target.

Rajat Patidar's half-century, supported by quick contributions from Cameron Green and Will Jacks, propelled RCB to a total of 187/9 in the first innings after DC captain Axar Patel chose to field first against Faf du Plessis' team.
