RCB Thrash RR As Parnell, du Plessis & Maxwell Shine In A One-Sided Affair

Jaipur:The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bounced back after two consecutive losses to win against the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by a massive margin of 112 runs in Match 60 of TATA IPL 2023 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.

RCB captain Faf du Plessis won the toss and elected to bat first. Despite a slow start by RCB, du Plessis’ composed innings of 55 off 44, his seventh fifty of IPL 2023, along with crucial innings under pressure from Glenn Maxwell (54 off 33) and Anuj Rawat (29* off 11) helped RCB reach a competitive total of 171/5.

The RCB bowlers, led by Wayne Parnell (3/10), then took five RR wickets inside the Powerplay, and the hosts were bowled out for 59 inside 11 overs. Chasing 172, RR lost wickets at regular intervals and were never able to recover from the early losses. The RCB bowlers continued to dominate and eventually bowled out RR for the third-lowest total in IPL history.

RCB’s emphatic win was a result of an all-round team performance.
