IPL 2020, DC vs RCB Highlights: Delhi Capitals Seal 2nd Spot With Six-Wicket Win, Royal Challengers Bangalore Make Playoffs
IPL 2020, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane hit fifties as DC seal a top-two spot by beating RCB by six wickets in Abu Dhabi.
Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by six wickets to ensure a top-two finish for themselves and set up a clash against Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 1 on November 5. RCB will finish third or fourth depending the result of the match between SunRisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians on Tuesday. Both teams have, however, qualified for the playoffs. DC lost Prithvi Shaw early in their chase of 153, but Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane got the chase back on track. Dhawan hit his 40th IPL fifty to keep Delhi cruising. Shahbaz Ahmed dismissed Dhawan for 54 but Rahane got his fifty as well to keep Delhi in control. He fell in the 18th over for 60 to give RCB some hope, but Marcus Stoinis and Rishabh Pant finished off the chase with an over to spare. Earlier, DC restricted RCB to 152 for 7 after winning the toss and putting RCB in to bat. Devdutt Padikkal top scored for RCB with 50 off 41 balls, Anrich Nortje took 3/33 for DC. (SCORECARD)
IPL 2020 Match 55Â Highlights Between DCÂ vs RCB, From Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
- 22:54 (IST)FOUR! DC win by six wickets!A top edge off Pant's bat takes the ball over the 'keeper's head for four as DC win by six wickets and finish at No. 2 on the points table.DC will face Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 1 on November 5 in Dubai.RCB are likely to finish third or fourth depending on the result of the game between SunRisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians tomorrow.Both RCB and DC have qualified for playoffs.
- 22:49 (IST)SIX!Is that the game, then?Siraj bowls this short and Stoinis takes it on. The batsman hooks it to deep square leg where the ball flies just out of the reach of Chahal for six.That was a good effort at the boundary, but it's hard to catch those especially when they're coming at you at that pace.
- 22:42 (IST)WICKET! Rahane c Dube b Sundar 60 (46)Oh Rahane, what have you done?He plays a reverse sweep to a ball bowled from around the stumps and landed on middle and off. Dube takes a simple catch at short third man.Will the game turn from here? There are two new batsmen at the crease now.
- 22:33 (IST)25 needed off 24 ballsAs teams go into the second time out, there's little left to play for as far as the RCB is concerned.DC are curising in this chase and it's hard to think of RCB making a comeback in this game.RCB need to take this match past 17.3 overs to keep their net run rate more than KKR's.That would come into play if SRH beat MI tomorrow and there's a shootout between KKR and RCB for the fourth spot on the table.SRH have a net run rate that's better than all of DC, RCB and KKR.

- 21:07 (IST)RCB 152/7 in 20 oversRCB did not get the flourish they were after as Anrich Nortje bowled an excellent final over that went for just seven runs and returned two wickets.RCB have 152 to defend and with the dew expected to fall, this will be a tough work for the bowlers.Stay tuned to follow DC's chase.
- 21:01 (IST)WICKET! AB de Villiers run out (Rahane/Pant) 34 (21)AB falls in an attempt to get back on strike. He tries to clear the fence on the second ball of the final over but couldn't hit it past the man at long-on. He calls Washington Sundar back for two runs but Rahane, the man in the deep, knows which end to throw the ball to. He throws it to the long end (the striker's end) and Pant whips the bails off before AB could make his ground.
