DC vs RCB Dream11 Grand League Team, Team News: IPL 2019

The ‘Delhi Boy’ Virat Kohli will return to his native place for the 46th match of IPL, which will be played between the Delhi Capitals and the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the ever so iconic Feroz Shah Kotla in New Delhi.

This has been one hell of a season for the Delhi Capitals who have shown their real prowess after almost 7 years. They last featured among the top four in the year 2012 and 7 years later now with a change of kit and a change of name, Delhi finds themselves among the top four with as many as 4 games to go. A win in this match will propel them to the top of the points table a spot they would be eyeing generously.

Meanwhile, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have still kept their playoff hopes alive after registering three wins on the bounce. However, a shoulder inflammation to Dale Steyn has forced him to sit out of the rest of the season which is definitely a big cause of concern for RCB. Dale just took RCB’s performance to another level and his arrival was definitely a boon for the struggling bowling unit of RCB.

Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore needs to win all their remaining games to have at least an outside chance of finishing among the top 4, whereas, the Capitals would be eyeing a tabletop position after the conclusion of this game.

Head-to-Head

Both teams had a face-off at the Chinnaswamy on April 07, 2019 where the Capitals tamed RCB for the first time in 2 years. they did panic in the closing moments of the game while chasing 149 but eventually, cross the finishing line with 4 wickets in hands and 7 balls to spare.

Talking about the head-to-head battle, the Royal Challengers Bangalore lead by 15 games to 7 from 23 encounters with one match ending as a no-result.

Here in this article, we have come up with some Grand League teams through our knowledge depending on the match situations. You might get lucky if one of these team clicks.
