IPL 2026: DC vs RCB playing 11, live toss and match time, streaming

Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on April 27 in Match 39 of IPL 2026.

 

DC come into this clash after a heavy defeat to Punjab Kings, despite a sensational knock from KL Rahul, who smashed 152 off just 67 balls in a losing cause as they failed to defend a massive 264. Their concerns are further deepened by the absence of Lungi Ngidi, who suffered a concussion and was ruled out after bowling only a few overs in the previous match. With just three wins in seven games, DC find themselves under pressure at the midpoint of the season and will need a strong turnaround to stay in the playoff race.

 

 

RCB, meanwhile, arrive with confidence after a convincing five-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans, wrapping up their Bengaluru leg with four wins in five matches. The defending champions have been in excellent form overall, winning five of their seven games so far and establishing themselves as one of the most consistent sides this season. They now begin a tough three-match away stretch starting in Delhi.

 

The last meeting between the two sides saw DC chase down 176 successfully at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, handing RCB their only home defeat of the season so far.
