This match starts at 3:30 PM IST at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. It will be a special game, as RCB will be wearing a green kit. The defending champions have been in incredible form and making the opposition kneel down. They have only one defeat, and they will be keen to grab two more points with their good form. DC have now suffered consecutive defeats, which has put them on the backfoot. They need to relook at their batting plans, which has failed in recent matches.

Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru RCB vs DC Live Streaming Details The live action of the RCB vs DC clash will be available on the Star Sports Networks on cable TVs. The fans can also watch the game through the Jio Hotstar streaming platform. RCB vs DC Head-to-Head in IPL Total Matches : 33 RCB : 20 DC : 12 No - Result : 01 RCB vs DC: Ground Pitch Report Chinnaswamy Stadium offers a flat deck, which produces good bounce and pace. The boundaries are smaller, which is a big challenge for any bowling side. Batters go hard after the ball because even a mis-hit or top edge gets over the line. Batting conditions will remain similar in both innings. RCB vs DC Possible XIs RCB : Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Tim David, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Rasikh Salam Dar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood DC : Pathum Nissanka, KL Rahul (wk), Sameer Rizvi, David Miller, Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, Auqib Nabi Dar, Kuldeep Yadav, T. Natarajan, Lungi Ngidi, Mukesh Kumar RCB vs DC Player to Watch Out For Probable Best Batter Virat Kohli is a run machine in the IPL, and he has the orange cap with him. He will be a big wicket for the opposition. For DC, it is important for KL Rahul to fire because he has looked good in recent matches. Probable Best Bowler Josh Hazlewood has always been a challenge for the batters, because of the pace and bounce he generates. For DC, Lungi Ngidi will be the key. He is bowling well and was part of RCB last season. Today Match Prediction : The form RCB are in, so they are expected to do well here. DC are currently struggling with their combination.

IPL 2026: Its Just A Question Of One Of The Batters Coming Good, Says DC Head Coach Badani

Indian Premier League: Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani dismissed concerns over batting consistency ahead of their IPL 2026 clash against defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru, insisting the team has posted competitive totals and only needs one batter to step up at the right time. DC are looking to break their two-game losing streak when they take on RCB at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday afternoon. I would politely disagree. We have scored 190 and 200. We lost a game by 1 run, a close game. In the last game as well, we scored around 180190. It is a question of one of our batters coming good at that point in time. I think we will be okay, said Badani in the pre-match press conference. On preparations for the contest, considering DC had a longish break, Badani said, Our job is to get ready and come. As far as RCB is concerned, their batting is very good, and their bowling is also very good. But our focus is on how we prepare for tomorrow. Badani acknowledged the chatter around momentum but stressed that DC has worked on specific areas. The way I see it, yes, there is a lot of conversation about momentum in tournaments like this. A lot of the coaching staff and even the broadcasters speak about momentum. But I think it is more about finding out what the area of concern is for a certain side. We have kind of figured out, or at least we think we have addressed that issue. You will get to know tomorrow or the day after what happens. I cannot speak any further on that. It is a question of looking after that area of concern, and we have tried to address that issue, he said. He also praised fast bowling all-rounder Auqib Nabis temperament and consistency after he made his IPL debut against CSK. If I can add more than one, there are two things that I think have been reasons for us to go hard for him. One is his temperament. I have seen him be consistent with whatever has happened with him, be it good or bad - he has stayed the same and maintained equilibrium. We have seen many times when cricketers have ups and downs, and they behave very differently. But in this case, he has just been the same way throughout the season. The other is that he has been consistent with his line and length. He is somebody who has the skill set to play at a higher level. Everyone has nerves in the first game. I felt he had similar nerves in the first game. But I think he is somebody who will do well for us, elaborated Badani. On Sameer Rizvis role in the batting order, Badani said the youngster has made significant progress since last season. Last year, we had a different structure altogether. We had Ashutosh (Sharma) coming in at No. 7 or 8. We also had Sameer pad up on a few occasions at the top. So the way we had things last year was more the case where if we lost a wicket at the top, Sameer would come in. If that did not happen, Sameer would just slide out of the game, and then we would go to Ashutosh. We spent three to four camps this year before the season. We have been working with Sameer since November. We were lucky that he could be with us, and we had about four camps. On Sameer Rizvis role in the batting order, Badani said the youngster has made significant progress since last season. Last year, we had a different structure altogether. We had Ashutosh (Sharma) coming in at No. 7 or 8. We also had Sameer pad up on a few occasions at the top.

IPL 2026: My Strength Lies In Hitting Hard Length Consistently, Says RCBs Hazlewood

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fast bowler Josh Hazlewood said the key to his success in the shortest format comes from sticking to his strengths, as the defending champions prepare to face Delhi Capitals in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 fixture at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday afternoon. RCB, currently on eight points, will look to further consolidate their position on the points table, and a win over DC would get them to reclaim top spot in the points table. My strength is hitting that hard length consistently and making it difficult for batters to score. In T20 cricket, its about executing that under pressure and adapting when needed. With the way T20 cricket is going, the expectations on batters are very high. If you can build a few quiet deliveries, the pressure can shift quickly and create opportunities, Hazlewood said in the pre-game press conference, ahead of the clash where RCB will also don their iconic green jerseys as part of the franchises Green Initiative. Hazlewood, who returned from injury with a Player of the Match performance against Lucknow Super Giants, reflected on his recovery process. Its been really pleasing to be back and contributing again. You learn a lot from time away due to injury, especially about respecting the recovery process. The focus has been on coming back fully ready and performing at this level. The other night, the pitch actually helped a little bit. It was hard to time the ball; the pitch was a bit up-and-down. If youre on a nice glassy pitch and everythings coming onto the bat nicely, then things have to change, and you try a few different things, he said. He also praised skipper Rajat Patidars composure. Hes learning quickly and getting more confident as a captain. Hes calm out there and manages his resources well, which is great for the team. The other night, the pitch actually helped a little bit.

IPL 2026: RR Team Manager Fined Rs 1 Lakh, Warned Over Mobile Phone Use In Dugout

Indian Premier League: Rajasthan Royals (RR) team manager Romi Bhinder has been fined Rs 1 lakh and handed an official warning for using a mobile phone inside the dugout during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on April 10. The Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) of the BCCI has issued a show-cause notice to Bhinder over the usage of a device during the match and sought his response within the next 48 hours. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed that the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) was not satisfied with Bhinders explanation, leading to him being fined and being given a warning over the violation. This violation happened in the match between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where our anti-corruption unit in Guwahati took note of the violation and issued him an explanation notice on April 12. He was given 48 hours to respond as Romi Bhinder was found or seen carrying his mobile to the dugout area. He can have a mobile in his hand but he cannot take it to the dugout area, so an explanation was sought and Romi Bhinder responded within the stipulated 48 hours. The anti-corruption unit examined his reply and found it to be not satisfactory. Therefore considering the fact that this is his first time he has done this violation of the IPL PMOA protocols, the anti-corruption unit decided to impose him a penalty of Rs 1 lakh and also issued a warning to him not to repeat this kind of breach or violation of the IPL PMOA protocols in future, said Saikia to IANS on Friday. According to the PMOA (Players and Match Officials Area) guidelines found on IPLs website, The Team Manager may use a phone in the dressing room but NOT in the dugout.
