FollowNew Delhi: The Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bat first, in the 46th match of the Indian Premier League 2019 (IPL 2019).
Delhi Capitals (DC) host Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the Feroz Shah Kotla Ground in Delhi on Sunday (April 28).
The Shreyas Iyer-led DC are at the third spot in the points table while Virat Kohli's RCB remain at the bottom of the table with eight points in 11 matches. RCB will enter the Feroz Shah Kotla, a very familiar place and home ground for their captain Kohli, on the back of a three-match winning run.
RCB have won their last three games defeating Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).
DC has a strong batting line-up with a perfect blend of experience and youth.
In their last match chasing 192 against Rajasthan Royals, openers Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan laid the foundation with a 72-run stand which was followed by a blistering unbeaten 73-run knock by young Rishabh Pant, who proved a point after being left out of India's World Cup-bound squad in favour of Dinesh Karthik.
