As for the clash, DC won the toss and opted to bowl. RCB lost their skipper Faf du Plessis (6 off 7) and Virat Kohli (27 off 13) within the Powerplay. Will Jacks (41 off 29) and Rajat Patidar (52 off 32) posted a crucial partnership with help from the poor fielding from DC.

However, soon the Delhi franchise pulled things in their favour, dismissing the set batters in quick succession. Mahipal Lomror (13 off 8) could not stay for long while Cameron Green tried to build an innings around him. Dinesh Karthik and Swapnil Singh both departed for ducks, and Karn Sharma (6 off 4) and Siraj were both run out towards the end. 

This game will also see Delhi without their skipper Rishabh Pant, who is serving a one-game suspension for slow over-rate. DC confirmed that Axar Patel will be leading in Pant's absence.
