On April 22, 2018, a thrilling clash took place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC). The hard-fought battle ended with the Super Kings emerging victorious by a narrow margin of just 4 runs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Innings: RCB posted a competitive total of 176 runs, with notable contributions from AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli.

Kohli added a steady 30, while Mandeep Singh chipped in with 17 runs as RCB looked to set a challenging score on a batting-friendly pitch.

Rishabh Pant was the standout performer for Delhi, scoring a brilliant 85 off 48 balls, while Shreyas Iyer contributed with a solid 52. Despite their best efforts, DC fell just short of the target set by RCB. The team struggled at times during the middle overs, losing wickets at crucial junctures, which ultimately cost them the match. Umesh Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were the pick of the bowlers for RCB, together claiming three vital wickets at crucial moments.

Match Highlights:
