Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) captain Faf du Plessis admitted that Delhi Capitals (DC) batters put pressure on his spinners which led to some mistakes in the IPL 2023 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
DC opener and wicket-keeper batter Phil Salt played match-winning innings of 87 runs to help his team beat RCB by seven wickets with 20 balls to spare. Faf du Plessis emphasised that the Delhi Capitals shattered the 182-run chase in the powerplay and that dew played a role in the second innings.
"I thought we were pretty close to par. We thought 185 is a good score. But there was a little bit of dew in the second innings. But we have to give credit to their batters, they played really well. The pressure their batters put on the spinners led to some mistakes," du Plessis said in a post-match presentation.
