Royal Challengers Bangalore continued their excellent form in IPL 2022 by defeating Delhi Capitals by 16 runs on Saturday.

Wicketkeeper batsman Dinesh Karthik hit an unbeaten 66 off just 34 balls to take Bangalore to 189-5 after Glenn Maxwell scored 55 in Mumbai.

Delhi could only manage 173-7 despite a 38-ball 66 from opening batsman David Warner.

Karthik starred in an unbeaten stand of 97 for the sixth wicket with Shahbaz Ahmed, who hit 32, as Bangalore blasted 69 runs from the last four overs.

Delhi lost their way once spinner Wanindu Hasaranga dismissed David Warner for 66 in the 12th over while attempting a reverse sweep.

“The way DK [Dinesh Karthik] is playing at the moment, I may sound like a broken record, but he is playing the best he has ever,” Bangalore captain Faf du Plessis said. “He is so clear, calm and composed … and to get 190 you needed a special innings.”

Warner’s Australia teammate Josh Hazlewood took 3-28 and Mohammed Siraj removed dangerman Rishabh Pant for 34 in the 17th over.

Star Bangalore batsman Virat Kohli did not contribute much with the bat, scoring just 12 before being run out.

But Kohli had his moment of brilliance in the field when he took a stunning one-handed catch behind him to remove Pant. His wife and Bollywood star Anushka Sharma was in the stands to witness his great catch and a win that took RCB to third in the points table after their fourth win.

Haemoglobin disorders explained

Thalassaemia is part of a family of genetic conditions affecting the blood known as haemoglobin disorders.

Haemoglobin is a substance in the red blood cells that carries oxygen and a lack of it triggers anemia, leaving patients very weak, short of breath and pale.

The most severe type of the condition is typically inherited when both parents are carriers. Those patients often require regular blood transfusions - about 450 of the UAE's 2,000 thalassaemia patients - though frequent transfusions can lead to too much iron in the body and heart and liver problems.

The condition mainly affects people of Mediterranean, South Asian, South-East Asian and Middle Eastern origin. Saudi Arabia recorded 45,892 cases of carriers between 2004 and 2014.

A World Health Organisation study estimated that globally there are at least 950,000 'new carrier couples' every year and annually there are 1.33 million at-risk pregnancies.

ETFs explained

Exhchange traded funds are bought and sold like shares, but operate as index-tracking funds, passively following their chosen indices, such as the S&P 500, FTSE 100 and the FTSE All World, plus a vast range of smaller exchanges and commodities, such as gold, silver, copper sugar, coffee and oil.

ETFs have zero upfront fees and annual charges as low as 0.07 per cent a year, which means you get to keep more of your returns, as actively managed funds can charge as much as 1.5 per cent a year.

There are thousands to choose from, with the five biggest providers BlackRock’s iShares range, Vanguard, State Street Global Advisors SPDR ETFs, Deutsche Bank AWM X-trackers and Invesco PowerShares.
