Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Tuesday came back to winning ways as they narrowly defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 1 run in what was a last-ball thriller at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. RCB move atop the table after Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer fell short of taking DC over the winning line.<o:p></o:p>

Batting first, Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal enjoyed a brisk start but the Delhi Capitals bowlers were quick to correct their line and lengths as they sent both the openers packing for 30. While Glenn Maxwell and Rajat Patidar stitched a brief partnership, the Aussie was dismissed by veteran Amit Mishra for 25.

Patidar, who looked impressive with the willow, soon followed after a 31-ball 22. However, it was the majestic AB de Villiers again as he whacked an unbeaten 75 off just 42 deliveries laced by five sixes and three boundaries to help RCB post 171-5. De Villiers’ knock includes a 23-run last over where he hammered Marcus Stoinis for fun. The South African, in the process, crossed the 5,000-run mark in IPL. <o:p></o:p>

In between both the innings, Ahmedabad witnessed a dust storm which caused a brief delay.&nbsp;

Delhi capitals, chasing 172, lost the in-form opener, Shikhar Dhawan, for six as the southpaw was caught off Kyle Jamieson. Steve Smith was next to depart as Mohammed Siraj continued his good run of form while reminding everyone of his dismissal against smith in historic India's tour of Australia. Prithvi shaw played a couple of delightful strokes in his 21-run knock but edged a Harshal Patel delivery, which ideally should have been left. <o:p></o:p>

Rishabh Pant and Marcus Stoinis dealt&nbsp;with a few boundaries but the latter perished after a 17-ball 22. However, it was Shimron Hetmyer, who delivered with the bat as he scored a quickfire half-century with four sixes and two boundaries.&nbsp;

With 14 needed off six in the last over, Pant and Hetmyer failed to take DC over the winning line as they lost by 1 run. RCB, with the win, go atop the IPL 2021 points table with five wins and 10 points under their belt.

Virat Kohli's Bangalore, who are chasing their maiden&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;title along with Delhi, also made the play-offs despite their six-wicket loss in Abu Dhabi.

"It's a mixed bag. you come to games to try and get a result your way," said Kohli, whose team ended the league phase with seven wins and seven losses.

"I think we've played good enough cricket in this tournament to qualify. We can be more brave in the back end, probably be better in the powerplay (with the ball) which has been our strength."

The South African bowling duo of Nortje and Rabada shared five wickets between them as Delhi restricted Bangalore to 152 for seven.

Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane scored half-centuries as Delhi completed their chase in 19 overs to be placed behind holders and table-toppers Mumbai Indians.

Delhi will clash with Mumbai in the first qualifier on Thursday and the loser will get another chance in the second qualifier to make the final on November 10.

Bangalore will meet either Sunrisers Hyderabad, who need to win this season's last league game against Mumbai on Tuesday to book their last-four spot, or Kolkata Knight Riders in the eliminator on Friday.

Delhi bowlers stood out with Nortje returning figures of 3-33 and Rabada taking two wickets to lead the&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;bowling with 25 wickets in 14 games.

"I feel that the bowlers were really up with their plans and knew what they had to execute," said Delhi skipper Shreyas Iyer.

"Mumbai are one of the best teams in the tournament. We need to keep things simple, that's what we discussed in the meetings. Stick to the basics."

Ravichandran Ashwin got the key wicket of Kohli for 29 and Nortje, who had earlier dropped the skipper on 13 in the outfield, struck twice in an over to dent Bangalore's hopes of a big total.

Nortje, who bowled the quickest ball ever in the&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;97 mph (156.22 kph) last month, sent back opener Devdutt Padikkal for 50 and Chris Morris for nought.

The left-right batting combine of Dhawan, who scored 54, and Rahane, who made 60, put on a key 88-run second-wicket stand to set up Delhi's win after four losses.

Delhi Capitals beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 59 runs in the 19th match of IPL 2020 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday.&nbsp;

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.

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;

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;

Rabada scalped four wickets for DC and was adjudged the man of the match.&nbsp;

With this victory, Delhi Capitals go on top of the IPL 2020 points table with four wins and one loss.&nbsp;

Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Shreyas Iyer's Delhi Capitals in the 19th match of IPL 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Monday. Also read: IPL 2020: Watson, Du Plessis lead Chennai to 10-wicket win against KXIP Both teams have won three matches and lost one in this years Indian Premier League. Both RCB and Capitals won the match that led into super over. RCB skipper Virat Kohli returned to top form in the last match against the Sunrisers, and he will be the most dangerous batsmen in a ground like Dubai. Padikkal has notched up three half-centuries in last four match, his innings will also be crucial for the Challengers. AB de Villiers has been good with the bat and could be explosive for the RCB to pose or chase a good total. Isuru Udana, Navdeep Saini and Yuzvendra Chahal have been on top form with the ball and could restrict the capitals to a modest total. Probable XI: Devdutt Padikkal, Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli (c), AB de Villiers (wk), Shivam Dube, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Isuru Udana, Washington Sundar, Adam Zampa/Dale Steyn, Navdeep Saini, Yuzvendra Chahal Delhi Capitals have been a complete team in this year's Indian Premier League. From Iyer's brave innings to Rabada's deadly pace bowling, the team has proven to be dangerous. R Ashwin on the other hand could play a crucial role. Padikkal has not been tested against an off-spinner at the start of his innings yet, and R Ashwin has knocked him over twice in the Syed Mushtaq Ali and Vijay Hazare Trophy finals. Amit Mishra will be a useful option for the Delhi Capitals, and they might drop Axar Patel. Probable XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw/Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Harshal Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje The Capitals have won just 8 of their 23 meetings against RCB.
