RCB vs DC IPL 2026 Highlights: David Miller’s last over heroics get DC over the line, ends RCB’s unbeaten run at home

RCB vs DC LIVE Score: Padikkal tries to attack Axar again, but gets more height than distance. Easily taken by Miller in the deep.

RCB vs DC LIVE Score: Axar Patel nearly has a wicket! Tosses it wide of off stump as he sees Padikkal coming, and the big swipe can only get a thin edge. Luckily, it’s enough to evade Rahul as he can’t react.

RCB vs DC LIVE Score: Half-century for Phil Salt! Overpitched by Kuldeep, in the zone for Salt to drive through it, and the connection is sweet. Deep into the stands.

90/1 now after 9 overs.

RCB vs DC LIVE Score: SHOT! He’s on song – walks down a couple of paces and a sumptuous straight drive on the rise – flies all the way for six.

RCB vs DC LIVE Score: WHAT A MOMENT! Lungi Ngidi comes on after Nabi gets hit around by Phil Salt as he begins to find his range – and immediately sees success. Kohli tries to step down and slap him over covers but there’s a man out there who takes it easily!

52/1 now – RCB were getting a move on, so a key wicket.

RCB vs DC LIVE Score: Just 6 off that over. DC doing well to keep Salt in particular quiet early – can they make it count?

RCB vs DC LIVE Score: Two boundaries off that over – slightly streaky as Kohli’s edge is found, a little bit of movement in the surface for now.

RCB vs DC IPL 2026 Live Score: Action begins! The swing of nabi against the free swing of Salt. Wickets key for DC

RCB vs DC Live Score: Really hot day for the afternoon game, and Axar Patel wins the toss and no surprises in bowling first despite the heat. This is RCB’s green game, playing in the special kit today.

Teams next.

RCB vs DC Live Score: Nothing too fancy or complicated expected for RCB. Duffy and Hazlewood have alternated the last couple of matches as the Aussie is eased back in, but otherwise the team is extremely settled and well balanced. The mark of true quality within any team.

RCB vs DC Live Score: DC’s issue thus far has been diagnosed as a lack of fast starters – from Nissanka and Rahul to Miller and Stubbs, the power and batting rate is there, but only after a few balls of getting set. It doesn’t help that there seems to be a lack of role clarity, with a lot of shuffling in the 3-6 slots. Low 200-chases on good batting surfaces shouldn’t look this complicated for a team of their quality.

RCB vs DC Live Score: Less than 30 minutes until the captains meet in the middle for the flip of the coin. Axar has won all four tosses this season for DC and chased regularly – he will want to do the same, and allow himself and his bowlers to take advantage of afternoon conditions.

RCB vs DC Live Score: Is Rajat Patidar the best player of spin in the world? Answer seems to be yes – the RCB captain has been supreme in the early stages of the IPL, hitting his runs at an incredible rate and pushing RCB towards massive totals or easy chases. A big reason is his ability to play spin with total confidence. In DC’s spin duo of Kuldeep and Axar, he sees his biggest challenge – but he will back himself, certainly, and as will the bowlers. If they can coax a mistake, it’s a big advantage to DC.

RCB vs DC Live Score: There is much that is goign right for RCB, but what has always been the case for them is that they will always have a good base thanks to the weight of runs that Kohli gives them. Even at the moment, Kohli is second in the Orange Cap race, a few runs behind Shubman Gill – always in and amongst it.

RCB vs DC Live Score: When these teams played at the Chinnaswamy in 2025, it was the KL Rahul show as he announced and endeared himself to Delhi fans. Chasing 164 but with early wickets down, Rahul came in at 4 and stitched together a century partnership with Tristan Stubbs after Delhi were down to 58/4.

That was the match where he said, in words and actions, that the Bengaluru ground was his. It was big talk, and this is the time where he will need to back it up.

RCB vs DC Live Score: After starting the season in great touch with two impressive wins chasing against LSG and MI, DC have lost some momentum with losses to GT and CSK – two games they will feel they should have won. Things are working, but not all the time – they need to be a little more clinical for points on the board.

RCB vs DC Live Score: 19 years on since the start of the IPL, the venue that started it all celebrates a milestone of its own – the 100th RCB match, in a year which means so much after their first title and the tragedy that followed.

At the Chinnaswamy, RCB have racked up three wins to start the season: they have made it into a fortress, and breaching it proves tougher every passing game. For the RCB faithful, a big point of pride.

RCB vs DC Live Score: We go back to the Chinnaswamy Stadium, the den of the defending champions, where KL Rahul and the Delhi Capitals once again try for a big result on the road.
