IPL 2019: 46th Match, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore – Toss Report; The 46th match of the Indian Premier League 2019 is going to be the clash of the two teams, who got two contrasting ways in the tournament. One is at the top half with the victories more often than not while the other has started things poorly but then started to show their charisma in the tournament. Meanwhile, it is Delhi, who were the hosts for the afternoon game.
Despite Delhi being the home crowd, the cheers will be for Virat Kohli, who is the local kid. This would give Virat Kohli confidence, especially, in the absence of Moeen Ali and Dale Steyn, who has been their top-class performers. They are on a good run in the tournament so far and would like to continue by sealing the victory against Delhi on Sunday Afternoon.
On the other side, Delhi Capitals are in a devastating form. They are making things fall in place for the team at the crucial stage of the tournament. The form of the top-order batsman is a soothing aspect for the team as well.
Delhi is an inch closer to the playoff berth. Firstly, they need to get one victory under their belt to see themselves on a driver seat, something, which they would like to have today. On the other hand, RCB needs to win all the remaining games and hope a few scenarios go in their way. They have very minute chances to go for playoffs.
