Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) extended their winning streak to five games with a convincing 47-run victory over Delhi Capitals (DC), keeping their playoff hopes alive! A strong batting performance by Will Jacks (41) and Rajat Patidar (52) followed by disciplined bowling sealed the deal for RCB.
