Royal Challengers Bangalore loses their second home match to Delhi Capitals, is this a jinx or fixing? (Latest Trending News)

RCB Latest News and Gossip: Numerous catches slipped, RCB being careless with fielding

With the target of 164 runs for Delhi Capitals to chase in the 2nd innings, Royal Challengers Bangalore has left many catches that could be caught easily.

Although the bowlers of RCB managed to take four quick wickets, there is a stable partnership building between KL Rahul and Stubbs.

KL Rahul is playing excellently with a score of 63 runs in 43 balls as he is continuing to hit fours and sixes at regular intervals.

There have been opportunities to get KL Rahul out before he could reach such a massive score, but the RCB fielders have left 3 catches of the player.

Three opportunities were wasted, and now RCB is struggling to get the match in their favour.

There has been a jinx among the fans that Royal Challengers Bangalore always lose their matches on their home ground, Chinnaswamy Stadium.

The previous and only defeat of RCB was also on their home ground where they were defeated by Gujarat Titans after failing to score runs in the first innings.

A similar pattern is seen in today’s match, where the batting lineup has shown a weak performance.

With the 16th over done, DC only need 30 runs from 24 balls, which is not a difficult task to achieve with KL Rahul and Stubbs on the field.

These missed catches can also be a deliberate attempt at match-fixing, which has been a scandalous topic in the IPL for many years.

The bowlers were attacking fiercely at the beginning of the second innings, but now the tables have turned with DC stepping closer toward their 4th consecutive win.

Bengaluru fans are still waiting to see their team win for the first time on their home turf, but that does not seem to be the case for today’s match.

RCB faces a crushing defeat from DC, which makes this the consecutive loss for RCB at Chinnaswamy.
