IPL 2020 Highlights, DC vs RCB Match, Full Cricket Score: Delhi Capitals win by 6 wickets, both team qualify for playoffs

IPL 2020 LIVE SCORE, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore latest updates: Mohammed Siraj to bowl the penultimate over, it’s been a while since we last saw him. He starts off with a wide. There’s really no need to be giving away extras at this point of the match. Oh lord, Marcus Stoinis has hit a six, and all the pressure seems to have melted off of DC’s shoulders. He was sweating though, Chahal was jumping to catch that at the deep square boundary, but he’s just a couple of inches too short to take that. Siraj then bowls another wide, he’s intent on gifting this to DC. A double and a single follow, before Rishabh Pant wraps up the match with a boundary! A thick top edge clears the keeper AB de Villiers, but RCB are all smiles, because they know they’ve done what was needed.

Preview: Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Monday could’ve been dead rubber if the teams had maintained their superb form they showed a few weeks back. But both teams have lost consecutive matches – Delhi losing their last four while RCB suffering three defeats on a trot. Now, this is a must-win situation for both teams with net run-rate also coming into the picture.

At the moment, RCB are in second spot with 14 points followed by Delhi, who also have secured same number of points but have an inferior net run rate (NRR).

A victory on Monday will propel RCB into the top two and they will then play the first qualifier against Mumbai Indians. If they lose, then they will have to depend on other results. If Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad win their final matches then RCB could miss out on the top four because of NRR.

Not many expected Delhi Capitals would be in this kind of situation during the business end of the tournament. At one point, they were favourites to finish on the top but their fortunes took a terrible turn. Now their situation is similar like RCB. A win would guarantee the second spot on the table. A loss and victories for Punjab and Hyderabad would result in their departure.

So there’s pressure on both Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer. Kohli’s team possesses experienced international players while Iyer’s side has the youngsters who have shown their abilities in the previous matches. If everything goes right, this could be a cracker of a game.
