DC vs RCB, IPL 2023: Rilee Rossouw smashes a SIX and Capitals win by 7 wickets

Delhi Capitals started with a bang with the bat and Phil Salt made sure to stay almost till the end.

David Warer (22) and Rilee Rossouw (35*) helped in the run chase of 181 runs.

It was a flighted up delivery and the ball just skids through.

Salt tried to work it leg side but missed and the ball deflected off his pads onto the stumps. 

However, it is a wicket too late for the Royal Challengers.
