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

The first game of Sunday’s doubleheader will be played between the Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. The home side Royal Challengers Bangalore are coming into this game after losing their 5th match on the trot in this edition of IPL, whereas, Delhi Capitals too lost their last game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at home.

Both are coming into this encounter after losing their respective previous encounters which means things would be pretty much even-stevens. Delhi started their campaign with a big win over the three-time champions Mumbai Indians but then 3 loss have definitely put them in jeopardy.

Things are getting even worse for Royal Challengers Bangalore who have now lost 5 matches on the trot. The confidence level of this team has dipped and a win is the only thing which can help their cause as of now.

Head-to-Head

The only plus point RCB have over DC here is that they haven’t lost to DC from the last two seasons. Their only loss came in the year 2016 where the Capitals chased down a score of 191 with 7 wickets in their kitty.

The head-to-head record is also led by the Royal Challengers Bangalore as they have won 15 of the 22 contest taken place between the two teams, whereas, Delhi Capitals have won 6 while, 1 match was abandoned.
