The TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, match no.39, was at the capital of India, as the Delhi Capitals (DC) hosted the reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). It was a one-way game, from the first over, as RCB came out on top in the match and won the match by 9 wickets. RCB captain Rajat Patidar won the toss and opted to field first.
They played the same team that won against the Gujarat Titans. However, DC made three changes from their last loss against the Punjab Kings, with one being a forced one as Lungi Ngidi was not fit after a fatal head injury in the last match. Dushmantha Chameera, Kyle Jamieson, and Sahil Parakh came in place of Ngidi and Pathum Nissanka.
