IPL 2019, DC vs RCB Today’s Match Preview: Delhi Capitals (DC) will aim to bolster their chance to make it Playoffs with victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi. With seven wins from 11 matches, Delhi are third on the table, but the challenge to beat Virat Kohli-led side will be tough this time around as Bangalore have won four of their last five matches. [caption id=“attachment_6531871” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  File image of Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer and Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper Virat Kohli. Sportzpics[/caption] Delhi have been served well by their talismanic youngster Rishabh Pant and once again, the onus will be on the wicketkeeper and batsman to get the job done. In their last match against Rajasthan Royals, Pant played a superb knock, smashing 78 off just 36 balls and helping his team to chase down 192. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are also in good form with the bat while South Africa pacer Kagiso Rabada, the highest wicket-taker in this season, will look to make impact with ball. Royal Challengers Bangalore finally found some form, but there are still far away from clinching a Playoff spot. They played 11 matches and won only four and currently occupy the last spot on the table. But they have momentum on their side and Kohli will look to make most out of it.

After 17 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 152/5 ( Gurkeerat Singh Mann 24 , Marcus Stoinis 18)
Productive over. 16 off it and 36 more needed. Gurkeerat rolled his wrists on the short ball to get a four on first ball. Slapped another short ball over mid-wicket for six. Went for another pull but the top-edge flew over slips for another four.

16 overs up! 52 more needed by RCB! Stoinis got a six in the over as he clobbered the full ball from Lamichanne down the park. 10 off the over. Time for strategic break.
After 15 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 126/5 ( Gurkeerat Singh Mann 8 , Marcus Stoinis 9)

After 13 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 111/5 ( Gurkeerat Singh Mann 3 , )
An over where RCB’s resistance probably came to an end! Mishra takes two and RCB are in deep trouble. They still need 77 in 7 overs. Klaasen got out by messing up his scoop shot as it hit his helmet and Pant took a great diving catch. Dube went for a slog and failed to read the googly as Dhawan took the leading edge at cover.
OUT! DUBE DEPARTS!

Thigh-five from Dhawan as he takes the catch in covers. Dube went for a slog and failed to read the googly. Leading edge and catch for Dhawan.

After 12 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 107/3 ( Shivam Dubey 23 , Heinrich Klaasen 3)
DC in the driving seat as ABD falls! ABD rocked back to pull the short ball from Rutherford to cow corner but Axar timed his jump to perfection to pluck it out of thin air and did well to avoid touching the rope. 81 more needed.
Axar and Rutherford’s pair has worked so wonderfully for DC today. First with the bat and now in the field.

OUT! ABD DEPARTS!
de Villiers c Axar b Rutherford 17(19)
A typical ABD pull to deep mid-wicket off Rutherford but Axar did very well to time his jump to perfection just ahead of the fence to take the catch. Lost his composure a bit after landing but managed to avoid touching the rope.
After 11 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 101/2 ( AB de Villiers 16 , Shivam Dubey 21)
We are getting to see the best of Dube today! Five singles followed by a short one from Lamichhane as Dube pulls the hip-height ball over cow corner for a six. 87 needed.
After 10 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 90/2 ( AB de Villiers 13 , Shivam Dubey 13)
Dube goes for a slog sweep as Axar bowls it on off and full. Didn’t time it well but had put enough in it to get a six over long-on. Eight off the over.
After 9 overs,Royal Challengers Bangalore 82/2 ( AB de Villiers 12 , Shivam Dubey 6)
A lovely googly from Mishra to outfox Dube as the leading edge went high to wide of long-on but Tewatia made a mess of it and dropped it. ABD got a six on the last ball as he swiveled to deposit the short ball on leg into stands beyond backward square leg. 11 off it. 106 needed in nine overs.
