Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: 46th match of IPL 2025 was exciting. Finally, RCB defeated Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets and captured the number 1 in the point table. The match was stuck till the 18th over, when RCB needed 17 runs in the last two overs to win. The match could go anywhere from here, but when the turn came for the 19th over, Delhi captain Akshar Patel made a big mistake. So the team had to face defeat by 6 wickets. Let’s know what was this big mistake.
Actually, Delhi had scored 162 runs losing 8 wickets in 20 overs. The bowlers were helping with the wicket. Especially spinners. So the strong Delhi reached 162. The condition of RCB, which came to chase this target, had deteriorated. The team fell 3 wickets for 26 runs, but after this Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya took over the innings and scored 146 runs losing 4 wickets till the 18th over. Even Kohli was out.
Yesterday, Axar Patel Made a Big Blunder by Giving 19th Over to Mukesh Kumar, Who Alredy Conceded 32 Runs in 3 overs.

This mistake made with Akshar Patel in 19th over
Now in the last 2 overs, RCB needed 17 runs to win. The 19th over was important, due to which the result of the match was to be decided. Everyone felt that star bowler Mitchell Starc had brought this over, but Akshar Patel gave the ball to Mukesh Kumar. In the 19th over, everyone was surprised by this decision of Akshar Patel and what everyone was afraid of.
The turn of the 20th over did not come
Mukesh Kumar was killed in this over and the match was over in the 19th over. For RCB, Tim David scored 19 runs off 5 balls with the help of 3 fours and 1 six and won the team. On Mukesh’s first ball, Tim David hit a six, followed by no ball and fours. Mukesh gave 51 runs in 3.3 overs and did not take any wicket. The match ended in the 19th over itself, the turn of the 20th over did not come, which was about to throw Mitchell Starc.
Spinners not used correctly
Delhi’s pitch was helping spinners, despite this, Akshar Patel gave only one over bowling to Vipraj Nigam. Kuldeep Yadav performed brilliantly for 28 runs in 4 overs, but the captain did not use them properly.
