    DC vs RCB: Match preview, head-to-head records and pitch report

    What's the story

    The match number 46 of the Indian Premier League would see Delhi Capitals clashing with Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi on Sunday.

    While Delhi would look to win and seal their spot in the play-offs, it is almost a do-or-die scenario for Virat Kohli and his boys.

    Here we present the match preview, head-to-head records and pitch report.

    Latest story

    Delhi enjoying a good run, Bangalore edge past Punjab

    Delhi Capitals continued their strong run, as they dominated Rajasthan Royals in their last match. They defeated them by six wickets, away from home.

    Interestingly, RCB have also found momentum after suffering six losses on the trot.

    They too overcame a tough challenge from Kings XI Punjab, edging past by just 17 runs to keep their hopes of qualifying for the play-offs alive.

    Team news

    Rishabh Pant, AB de Villiers among men to watch out

    All eyes would on Delhi's Rishabh Pant, who was their star in the last game, smashing an unbeaten 78 off just 36 balls.

    Also, in the frame would be RCB's AB de Villiers, whose unblemished form, this term, makes him the million-dollar man.

    Meanwhile, RCB would miss the services of Moeen Ali for the rest of the season, who is out on international duty.

    Head-to-head

    Bangalore have traditionally dominated Delhi

    The head-to-head clashes have been dominated by Bangalore.

    In 22 IPL matches to date, while Delhi have won seven, RCB have won double of it.

    Of 19 matches in India, Delhi have won six, whereas, RCB have pocketed 12.

    In Delhi, out of eight matches, the hosts have won a couple, while RCB have won the rest.

    The last leg was won by Delhi.

    Pitch report

    Kotla to sport another sluggish track

    The Kotla track in Delhi has been traditionally known to play slow. This has been the story this year as well.

    Thus, chances are spinners would dominate the show once again.

    Of five matches in 2019, the side, batting second, has won on three occasions.

    The team winning the toss is likely to bowl first, owing to the dew factor at night.

    Predicted XI

    Here's the predicted XI

    DC: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant, Colin Ingram, Chris Morris, Keemo Paul, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma.

    RCB: Parthiv Patel, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers, Marcus Stoinis, Akshdeep Nath, Colin de Grandhomme, Washington Sundar, Tim Southee, Navdeep Saini, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal.

    Dream11: Parthiv, Kohli, AB (c), Iyer, Shaw, Stoinis, Morris, Axar, Saini, Rabada (vice-captain), Mishra.
