IPL 2020: DC vs RCB: Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 Wickets

IPL 2020: The current IPL tour of Virat Kohli & Company looked as shaky as the start. Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore face off at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Monday to finalize the play-offs. Shreyas Iyer, the captain of Delhi Capitals, had the last laugh in the fight for the 2nd place in the points table.

Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 6 wickets in Abu Dhabi. Delhi captain Shreyas won the toss. But despite winning the toss, he decided to field first. In the first innings, Royal Challengers Bangalore lost 6 wickets in 20 overs and scored 152 runs. In reply, Delhi Capitals lost 4 wickets in 19 overs and won the match by 154 runs.

Delhi's batting line-up looks shaky from day one. Opener Josh Philip was out for just 12 runs. However, another opener Devdutt Padikkal was continuing the game in his glory. Then Bangalore captain Virat Kohli was dismissed for 29 off 24 balls. AB de Villiers tried to catch the match but was run out at 35. At that time the Devdutt Padikkal made a half century.But Devdutt was out for 50 runs. And that is why the huge team fell in front of a great danger. Everyone from Chris Morris to Shivam Dubey , Isuru Udana went back to the pavilion at the speed of a storm. Bangalore lost 6 wickets in 20 overs and scored only 152 runs, which is like a kind of sniff for Delhi! Delhi's Anrich Nortje and Ravichandran Ashwin bowled brilliantly on the day. This is the first time Ashwin has taken a wicket from Virat Kohli in the IPL. Nortje took 3 wickets and Kagiso Rabada took 2 wickets.

Delhi, on the other hand, lost the wicket of Prithvi Shaw in 1 over 4 balls. And then Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan took the helm of the match. The two also formed a 100-run partnership. The good news for Delhi is that Ajinkya Rahane returned to the run after a long absence. Shikhar Dhawan also batted well on this day. However, Gabbar was dismissed for 54 off 41 balls. Rahane, on the other hand, returned to the pavilion for 60 off 48 balls.

Delhi captain Shreyas Iyer was also dismissed for just six runs. However, both Rahane and Gabbar paved the way for winning the match. In the end, Rishabh Panth and Marcus Stoinis led Delhi to victory in 19 overs. Like the batting, the bowlers of Bangalore could not look at the bowling on this day. Mohammad Siraj and Washington Sundar took 1 wicket each and Shahbaz Ahmed took 2 wickets.

After winning this match, Delhi Capitals secured the 2nd position in the table with 16 points. There are no more obstacles in front of Shreyas' team. Delhi also reached the play-offs. However, the most shocking thing is that even after losing this match, Royal Challengers Bangalore took a place in the play-offs. And the only reason is the net run rate (NRR).

Despite Delhi win the match on today, they had to play more than 17overs and 2balls, That is why the RCB went ahead of Kolkata Knight Riders in net run rate. If Delhi Capitals had won today's match in 15 overs, Bangalore's play-off would not have been ready. That means Mumbai Indians, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have reached the play-offs at the moment. Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad will have to fight for the fourth place.

In today's match, Rajasthan had a target of 185 runs to win, but the team's struggle ended with the dismissal of Jos Buttler (13), Captain Steve Smith (24) and Sanju Samson (5). Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 34 runs from 36 balls with the help of a four and two sixes, but after his dismissal, only Jambaz Rahul Teotia was seen struggling.

IPL 2020: DC vs SRH: Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Delhi Capitals by 15 runs

 Rashid Khan's triple strike made all the difference for Sunrisers Hyderabad as his team registered its first win of the IPL 2020 campaign against Delhi Capitals.

IPL 2020: Rashid Khan mesmerised along with his spin while David Warner’s captaincy was superb. A slow Abu Dhabi pitch notwithstanding, Sunrisers Hyderabad were defending almost a par total. they had little margin for error, especially after two losses in their first two games. The Rashid-Warner combo helped Sunrisers secure their first win during this IPL. Their victory margin, 15 runs, though, doesn’t tell the entire story.

Sunrisers’ efforts were even more laudable for the very fact that they bowled second and had to counter the dew. From the experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar to young Abhishek Sharma, everybody stood up to be counted. But Rashid was the x-factor, while his captain was the mastermind.

Rashid came into the attack in the eighth over. Capitals had a slow start all right, but with Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer at the crease and massive hitters to follow, a steep asking rate was still not a factor. Sunrisers needed wickets. The leg-spinner accounted for Iyer with a tossed-up delivery that he held back a little. The Capitals skipper went for a lofted drive over cover but was beaten in the air. Also, the bat turned in his hand. Sunrisers had the wicket they were trying to find .

Dhawan was counting on the sweep shot to counter the spinners. Rashid removed him with a wrong ’un in his third over, as the batsman was declared out on referral. After three overs, Rashid’s figures read: 3-0-10-2.

The leggie returned to bowl his final over at the death. Rishabh Pant and Marcus Stoinis were batting and also the equation – 49 runs off 24 balls – was still pretty gettable. Pant went for a premeditated sweep, but Rashid had bowled the delivery a tad slower. The left-hander was caught at deep-square by Priyam Garg.

Rashid had only one wicket in the first two matches. On Tuesday, he returned with 3/14 in four overs. Still early days in this IPL, but Sunrisers needed to get their campaign underway.

And his brilliance wasn't restricted to only picking game-turning wickets. Rashid was the reason why Warner could continue with left-arm spinner Sharma against Capitals’ left-handed batsmen. With wickets falling at one end, Capitals batsmen didn’t have the leeway to focus on the youngster.

Warner is the heart of this Sunrisers team. he's yet to get a big score in this tournament but his 33-ball 45 ensured that his team had a decent start after being sent in. When Sunrisers fielded, Warner’s plan choked the opponents. The way he held back Rashid’s final over was excellent. He had a clear plan for his bowlers – attempt to take sixes out of the equation, bowl full and force the batsmen to hit towards the long boundary.

Warner directed his bowlers to focus on the block hole. Left-arm seamer T Natarajan was the best among the Sunrisers bowlers with regards to executing yorkers. Kumar gave the first breakthrough by dismissing Prithvi Shaw within the first over then returned to take the wicket of Shimron Hetmyer. Sunrisers bowlers were bowling to a clear plan, laid out by their skipper. The team’s batting, too, was professional.

Jonny Bairstow scored a half-century. Kane Williamson played a stunning hand, coming in from the cold and a quadriceps injury. Sunrisers had laboured to 38 for no loss at the end of the Powerplay. Only two fours and a six had been hit in the first six overs, both by Warner.

The skipper got out after getting a start and the Sunrisers batting wasn’t finding the desired tempo. Bairstow, too, wasn’t timing the ball well. He fell prey to a mistimed pull off Kagiso Rabada. But Sunrisers didn’t panic.

Even Abdul Samad, who made his IPL debut, swung fearlessly at the death. He connected one pretty well for a six but missed a couple of also . But the young man from Jammu & Kashmir didn’t look struggling . once again, credit to Warner for allowing a debutant to be fearless.

As for Capitals, they're an evolving team. They came into this game after back-to-back wins. But on Tuesday, Sunrisers outplayed them in all three departments. Iyer elected to field because of the dew factor in the second half. He probably misread the pitch. the decision to give Axar Patel only two overs didn’t augur well either. Iyer’s captaincy remains a work ongoing . Warner’s captaincy masterclass must have given him plenty to learn.

Delhi Capitals beat Chennai Super Kings by 44 runs to register their second consecutive win of IPL 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday. Chasing 176 to win, Chennai Super Kings got off to a poor start as they lost both their openers Shane Watson and Murali Vjay inside the powerplay. Watson got out to Axar Patel while Vijay was removed by Anrich Nortje. Ruturaj Gaikwad who came into bat at No. 4 did not impress as he got run out after scoring just five runs. After losing two quick wickets, Faf du Plessis and Kedar Jadhav stitched a good partnership to stay CSK hopes alive within the game. Anrich Nortje dismissed Jadhav to hand his side an important breakthrough. MS Dhoni came in to bat but the damage was already done. Nortje and Rabada bowled brilliantly towards the end to seal the massive for their side. Earlier, Prithvi Shaw (64 off 43) scored his 5th IPL half-century as Delhi Capitals posted 175/3 against CSK. Shaw got support from his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan (35 runs off 27) who played with more caution up front but more than made up for it once the field restriction were lifted. The duo added 36 runs within the first six overs without any loss and capitalised on the beginning after the powerplay, taking aggressive approach against the CSK spinners. Both the players found boundaries at will and looked they're going to take the game faraway from them. However that wasn't to be as Piyush Chawla paid off his captain's faith on him by removing both the openers in quick succession to stop the run flow.
