<p>Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 59 runs in the 19th match of IPL 2020 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and chose to bowl first, but the decision backfired after Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan got Delhi off to a very good start. Shaw kept smashing the ball across the fence before Siraj got him out. Dhawan and Iyer followed Shaw into the pavilion. However, the partnership between Marcus Stoinis and Rishabh Pant powered the Delhi to 196 with a loss of four wickets. Marcus Stoinis' 53 off 26 runs was the best individual score for DC tonight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Royal Challengers were off to a sticky start after they lost their in-form batsman Devdutt Padikkal in the second over itself. Finch was dropped three times by the Delhi Capitals, but his luck ran out in the third over. AB de Villiers was out cheap, the South African scored just 9 runs. Skipper Virat Kohli and Moeen Ali held on to keep RCB in the chase. But Moeen got out in the 11th over to Axar Patel. RCB lost all hope after skipper Virat Kohli departed after scoring 43 runs off 39 balls. RCB crumbled under pressure after Kohli's dismissal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rabada scalped four wickets for DC and was adjudged the man of the match.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With this victory, Delhi Capitals go on top of the IPL 2020 points table with four wins and one loss.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rajasthan Royals started their campaign at a high after beating Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab in a high scoring thriller. However, their recent loss to Sunrisers saw them slip to the fifth spot in the points table. Steve Smith will be trying and hoping to get back to winning ways. With the news of Ben Stokes' arrival, the Rajasthan will be overjoyed, but the star all-rounder will still be a missing couple of matches.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Royal Challengers on the other hand have had some tipsy matches.

However, their nail-biting super over finish against Mumbai brought them back to the winning ways. Royal Challengers will be looking forward to keeping up the momentum. They are currently sixth in the IPL 2020 points table.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sanju Samson and Steve Smith have been crucial for the Royals. These batsmen will be looking to pose or even chase down a score above 170 on this ground.&nbsp;</p>

<p>RCB skipper Virat Kohli has hit a rough patch in this year's Indian Premier League. But this could be the match where 'King Kohli' finds his form.&nbsp;</p>

"The best part is that the player who was approached immediately sensed that something was fishy. He had suspicion and he immediately shared his concerns with the ACU. Every player, even those who have come from the U-19s are well aware about each and every anti-corruption protocols," the BCCI official, privy to the development, told PTI on the condition of anonymity.

IPL player reports corrupt approach, ACU begins investigation

<p>Young opener Devdutt Padikkal was the star for Royal Challengers Bangalore once again as he guided the team to another convincing win over Rajasthan Royals at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Padikkal smashed 63 runs off 45 deliveries laced by six boundaries and a six while stitching a match-winning partnership of 99 runs with Virat Kohli to help RCB clinch the match by eight wickets.</p>

<p>Padikkal, who was also the highest run-scorer in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy 2019-20, completed his third half-century in four innings in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> as he said that he wants to continue to play on the merit of the ball while adding watching the ball closely has been crucial to his good form.</p>

<p>When asked about batting alongside Kohli, Padikkal was of high praise for the Indian captain as he said he has watched him play since his childhood days and playing with him is an unreal feeling. The southpaw added that Kohli kept pushing him when he was getting tired in the scorching heat and humidity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“I am just playing on the merit of the ball, I am watching the ball as closely as I can and trying to make the decision.

<p>Royal Challengers Bangalore beat Rajasthan Royal by 8 wickets to win the second consecutive match in IPL 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rajasthan Royals' decision of batting first quickly backfired after they lost Smith, Buttler and Samson in the first three over. No batsmen except Mahipal Lomror could play an impressive inning for the Royals. Lomror scored 47 runs off 39 balls. Tewatia and Archer's cameo in final over helped Rajasthan pose a modest total of 154 runs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chahal scalped three big wickets to restrict Rajasthan to a modest total. Isuru Udana took two wickets, whereas, Saini scalped a big fish (Buttler).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Royal Challengers were off to a better start. Despite losing an early wicket of Aaron Finch. The 99-run partnership between Padikkal and Kohli landed a fatal blow to Rajasthan Royals. Virat Kohli was backed in form and scored 72 runs off 53 balls. Padikkal smashed his third 50 in the fourth match for the Royal Challengers. Rajasthan's Gopal and Archer scalped one wicket each.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The mammoth win against Rajasthan helped Bangalore go at the top of the table making it the first till until now to win three matches in four games. However, RCB will be toppled before the day ends as the winner of DC vs KKR will go on top due to better net run rate.

<p>Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming lost his cool, during the post-match press conference after the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, when the former New Zealand skipper was asked why Kedar Jadhav was sent to bat at no. 4 ahead of MS Dhoni.</p>

<p>Kedar came out to bat at no. 4 in a pressure chase but failed to deliver with the bat again as he scored a 10-ball three piling more pressure on the batting unit. Kedar was sent out to bat after early dismissals of Shane Watson and Ambati Rayudu.

<p>With the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> continuing in the UAE, Rajasthan Royals took on Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. While RR opted to bat first given the hot and humid conditions in the afternoon match, the Steve Smith-led outfit weren’t off to the best of start as they lost the skipper and star batsman Sanju Samson early.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yuzvendra Chahal pulled off a stunner to dismiss Samson as the Indian spinner took a terrific caught and bowled to send the in-form RR batsman packing back to the hut. While there have been arguments on Chahal’s catch on social media platform Twitter, the third umpire felt there was no conclusive evidence to change the decision of the on-field umpire.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Samson played it straight back to Chahal, the ball appeared to have touched the ground. However, it seemed like there was a finger underneath the ball and with not many camera angles available, third umpire went with the on-field call and dismissed Samson.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rajasthan Royals captain Steve Smith welcomed Ben Stokes to the RR squad with the ace England all-rounder set to arrive in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) tonight for the ongoing <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a>. RR has been without Stokes so far in the tournament as the all-rounder decided to miss the first few games of IPL 2020 to stay with his ailing father in New Zealand.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After the toss in the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals, Smith was asked about the return of Stokes as the RR captain lauded him as a “quality player” who would bolster the squad.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Notably, Stokes had left from England mid-way during the home series against Pakistan to be with his family in New Zealand. Now, Stokes will have to serve the mandatory six-day quarantine period before entering the Rajasthan Royals bubble and the squad. Stokes has been practicing in Christchurch as suggested by his Instagram activities.&nbsp;</p>

Quality player, been through tough time: Steve Smith excited for Ben Stokes' return to IPL

<p>After facing a defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings have now lost three matches in a row now and sit at the bottom of the table. According to skipper MS Dhoni, the team needs to "get a lot of things right" if they want to get back to winning ways in the IPL 2020.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad came from behind to defeat the Chennai-based franchise. Despite being down to 69/4, Priyam Garg and Abhishek Sharma's 77-run partnership powered SRH to 164-5 in their 20 overs. During this partnership, CSK players dropped a few catches that could have changed the course of the game in their favor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After facing a third consecutive loss, Skipper MS Dhoni said: "We need to get a lot of things right. We need to take our catches not bowl no-balls. Those are the controllable and may be we are getting too relaxed. We have been a bit too relaxed at times."</p>

<p>"Nobody wants to drop catches but at the same at this level, we need to draw a line and take these catches especially when the team hasn't been doing that outstandingly well. It is very important to be at your best. There are plenty of positives in this game but we will try to come back strong," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During Chennai's batting, Dhoni promoted himself in the batting order after losing quick wickets. His partnership with Jadeja brought CSK back in the game. However, after Jadeja's dismissal, Dhoni failed to hit some boundaries and did not look comfortable while batting out there. CSK eventually lost the match by 7 runs to SRH.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While talking about his batting, he said: "I was not able to middle a lot of deliveries. Was trying to hit it too hard. Looking at outfield it was subconsciously coming to us to hit the ball hard. Tried to get as much as time as possible. Long time back once we lost three in a row."</p>

<p>Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday defeated Chennai Super Kings by seven runs at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi as the action continued in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. Courtesy a fine half-century by young Priyam Garg, SRH posted 164 runs on the board in 20 overs but Chennai Super Kings fell short by seven to suffer their third defeat in four matches in IPL 2020.</p>

<p>This was CSK’s third defeat on the trot with the three-time IPL champions failing to find form, either with the bat or ball. CSK started strongly with the ball as they got rid of Jonny Bairstow for a three-ball duck. However, a mini-partnership from Manish Pandey and David Warner helped them get into rhythm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kane Williamson (9) fell for cheap after a mix-up with Garg in the middle but the latter took the responsibility to smash a cracking 23-ball 50. Even Abhishek Sharma chipped in with a terrific 24-ball 31 to help SRH get to a competitive 164/5 in 20 overs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chasing 165, CSK were off to a disastrous start as they lost Shane Watson for 1 before a flurry of wickets fell. Ambati Rayudu, who was coming after a hamstring niggle, could manage just eight runs while Kedar Jadhav, batting at number four, scored just three.&nbsp;</p>

However, with the veteran southpaw missing IPL 2020 due to ‘personal reasons’, he was unable to continue the record in the 13th edition of IPL, which is being held in UAE behind closed doors. Apart from Dhoni (194), Raina (193), Rohit Sharma with 192 caps and Kolkata Knight Riders captain Dinesh Karthik with 185 caps in IPL are next in the list.

We got time at a very important juncture and it will also help us reflect what we need to change in batting and bowling. Momentum when it comes to batting is one of the key aspects. The length has been crucial and experience really plays in. Vijay, Ruturaj and Hazlewood make way for Rayudu, Shardul and Bravo. Warner said: We are gonna have a bat. Looks a nice wicket and we want to put runs on the board. We are a good side at defending and if all goes to plan, hopefully we can defend it.

MS Dhoni surpasses Suresh Raina to achieve monumental record in IPL

<p>Former India cricketer-turned-commentator Sanjay Manjrekar is of the view that Chennai Super Kings has some clinical issues that needs to be sorted out if the three-time <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">IPL</a> winners want to get back to winning ways.&nbsp;</p>

<p>CSK head into the match against SRH being last on the points table following two back-to-back defeats in three matches this season. Manjrekar opined that CSK are under pressure this time and even the die-hard fans seem a bit concerned about their fate in the tournament.</p>

<p>"Chennai Super Kings as a team has rarely been under pressure in the league stage. This time they are. Even their die-hard fans have gone quiet on social media, they seem a little concerned. They look towards MS Dhoni for salvation.</p>

<p>Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya were the heroes for Mumbai Indians in their win against Kings XI Punjab in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/ipl">Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020</a> on Thursday. After Rohit Sharma laid the platform with a 45-ball 70, Pollard and Hardik whacked KXIP bowlers all over the park to help MI reach 191 runs in 20 overs.</p>

<p>In the final over, MI bagged 25 runs off Krishnappa Gowtham with the last three bals landing in the stands of the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. Reviewing the performance with the willow, Pollard said that with him and Pandya brothers in the middle-order, the sky is the limit for the four-time IPL winners when it comes to the last four overs.&nbsp;</p>

Whereas Kings XI Punjab skipper KL Rahul admitted to lacking a sixth bowling option as he termed the crushing 47-run defeat as “disappointing”.&nbsp;</p>

Mumbai Indians dominated the proceedings after Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya gave them the perfect finish with the willow in the first innings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Courtesy a cracking half-century by Rohit Sharma and blistering knocks by Pollard (47* off 20) and Hardik (30* off 11), Mumbai Indians posted a mammoth 191-4 in 20 overs. Skipper Rohit went on to smash 70 off 45 after having a difficult start to his innings. However, Rohit, Pollard and Hardik took down the KXIP bowling unit to pile on the runs in the latter half of the first innings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chasing 192, Kings XI Punjab were off to a shaky start as they lost in-form Mayank Agarwal for 25 whereas Karun Nair, at no. 3, scored a three-ball duck to mount more pressure on the batters. KL Rahul soon followed suit after an uncanny 19-ball 17. While Nicholas Pooran launched two huge sixes and a couple of boundaries in his 27-ball 44 but it was too little too late for the Punjab outfit.</p>
