That's it form our coverage of match 50 of the Indian Premier League 2023. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Akshaya Krishna and scorer Paras Yadav. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Phil Salt (Player of the Match): "We spoke before the game about being positive and take them on. We saw how good they were in Bangalore when they had their tails up.
The real strength of mine is when I get going I don't really look to take my foot off the pedal too often. We knew the wicket was quite slow and low and we knew that realistically we would slow down in the middle.
I thought it was par. I thought we would have to bat really well to get there but the boys came out swinging and played really well.
Marsh came in and hit the second ball for six or something like that and it puts the bowlers on the backfoot. He's a top player.
Loving the support especially here in Delhi. A few RCB fans in tonight but really loved the support in Delhi."

David Warner (Delhi Capitals Captain): "That was amazing. I thought 180 was probably par score. The ball started skidding nicely at the back end. I was confident restricting them to 180 if we come out with the intent led by Phil Salt to try chase this total down.
We said from the outside that we wanted to go for the target. Siraj and Hazlewood might have bowled the other overs well but that was our intention today. Siraj has been bowling extremely well and he's their backbone. He takes early wickets in the powerplay and if we take him on a little bit and bring back his length where a lot of his dismissals have been bowled and LB. That would work in our favor. We were able to get to a good start in the first 6 and a great finish there by Salty and Rilee.
Credit to the way the bowlers have bowled. They were fantastic, they defended 130 twice. Anrich isn't here one of the most experience but Ishant leading there and Khaleel which makes us a stronger Indian bowling component. With the experience of Kuldeep and Axar as well. They are 2 outstanding bowlers and we got a great team and a great momentum now.
Its all about momentum and its all jammed at the moment. We go on to Chennai now. We know its gonna be a tough one down there. They've got some good momentum as well. I think we've found the right balance now at the right time."
