Preview of RCB Vs DC - Match No 19

 

                        

                                         

Match no 19 will be played between currently top 2 teams of point table. I personally feel these two teams are top contenders as well for wining this IPL 2020. Both teams are loaded with powerful hitters and also having best leg spinners of this season.

RCB Team Analysis and Probable XI:

We don’t see any changes in playing XI as they won last two matches with same team. As top order is scoring consistently and Virat Kohli has also fired up now, they will be more confident before going into this contest.

Probable XI: Padikkal, Finch, Kohli, de Villiers, Dube, Gurkeerat Singh, Sundar, Udana, Saini, Chahal, Zampa

 

DC Team Analysis and Probable XI:

With Shreyas Iyer and Prithvi shaw roller coaster performance against KKR team, they will fancy their chances to win against RCB as well. Though Rabada and Nortje came little expensive against KKR, but you shouldn’t blame bowler on 65 - 70 m short boundary ground.

Probable XI: Shaw, Dhawan, Iyer, Pant, Hetmyer, Stoinis ,Rabada , Nortje , Mishra, Harshal Patel, Ashwin / Axar 

                           

       Interesting Face-off between RCB team Players Vs DC team Players

       

 

                                     

                                    

                                   

 

Venue: Dubai International Cricket, Dubai – Long boundaries.

Toss: Generally, team will bat first on this ground as there is no effect of dew.

Average score on Ground: 160 -180

Stats:  Chahal and Rabada are highest wicket taker right now.

Padikkal and Shaw has hit 3 fifties and 2 fifties respectively out of 4 matches.

Who is favourite?

It’s very hard to pick up favourite as both teams are looking equally stable and strong. I think team which will take wickets on regular basis that will be winner of this contest. If I have to choose one side then, I will go with RCB considering Chahal and AB de Villiers on going form.
