By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals match. We are covering RCB vs DC Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the T20 match. The match is to be played at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Royal Challengers Bangalore are having a dreadful run in IPL’19 and have failed to register a single victory yet in five encounters. Yesterday, They lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by 5 wickets. Batting first, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers played attacking knocks of 84 and 63 respectively to lead the team to a total of 205. Defending the target, Pawan Negi and Navdeep Saini bowled well to take two scalps each and were supported by Yuzi Chahal but late havoc from Andre Russell snatched victory from the hands of RCB. Royal Challengers Bangalore will hope for a better performance from their bowlers in upcoming matches and open their account to stay alive in IPL’19.

Delhi Capitals are fifth on the points table with two wins and three losses. They lost their last match to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets. Batting first, Shreyas Iyer was the only positive scoring 43 runs in an otherwise poor batting effort and was supported by late cameos from Axar and Morris to lead the team to a sub-par total of 129. Defending the target, All bowlers contributed well but could not defend the total. They will be determined to put a unison effort tomorrow and add another loss to the tally of RCB.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
