Manish Pandey provided some resistance with a half century, while Axar Patel contributed a quickfire 21 off just 14 balls, but it wasn't enough as Delhi could only manage 151/9 in response.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) were left waiting for their first win of the season after being soundly defeated by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by 23 runs in their IPL 2023 clash in Bengaluru on Saturday.
Despite their spinners putting in a solid performance to restrict RCB to 174/6, Delhi got off to a disastrous start, losing Prithvi Shaw and Mitchell Marsh for 0, followed by Yash Dhull being trapped LBW for 1 by Mohammed Siraj. David Warner managed to get a start but was dismissed by Vijaykumar Vyshak after scoring just 19.

Earlier in the match, Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets and triggered RCB's middle-order collapse by removing Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik in consecutive balls. Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav also chipped in with a wicket each. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli continued his supreme form and scored a well-deserved 50 off just 34 balls.
The win has propelled RCB to the seventh spot in the points table, while DC stands at 10th position.
