RCB vs DC Highlights, IPL 2026: David Miller, Tristan Stubbs take DC to six-wicket win over RCB in last-over thriller

RCB vs DC Highlights, IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals completed a six-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) after a late push from David Miller, who hit two sixes in the final over following contributions from KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs in their IPL 2026 match on Saturday.

Chasing 176 on a slow Chinnaswamy pitch, DC reached 179 for four. Miller (22 not out off 10 balls), who had faced criticism after failing to finish the game against Gujarat Titans earlier in the tournament, stayed till the end this time and struck Romario Shepherd for two sixes in the last over when 15 runs were needed.

After losing three wickets in the powerplay, DC recovered through Rahul (57 off 34 balls), Stubbs (60 not out off 47 balls) and Axar Patel (26 retired hurt). Rahul steadied the innings after an early collapse and targeted Josh Hazlewood, hitting him for two sixes and three fours. He reached his fifty in 30 balls before falling to Krunal Pandya, caught by Virat Kohli at long-on.

Rahul and Stubbs added 69 runs for the fourth wicket after DC were 18 for three in 2.5 overs. Stubbs and Axar then put on 47 runs before Axar retired hurt. At 134 for four in 15.5 overs, DC needed 45 off 25 balls, which Stubbs and Miller completed with one ball left.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar (3/26) had earlier removed Pathum Nissanka, Karun Nair and Sameer Rizvi.

RCB posted 175 for eight after being asked to bat. Phil Salt scored 63, while Kohli made 19 in a 52-run opening stand. RCB were 59 for one at the end of the Power Play after Salt attacked Auqib Nabi in the fifth over.

Salt reached his fifty in 30 balls and added 47 runs with Devdutt Padikkal, who was dismissed by Axar Patel. Kuldeep Yadav then had Salt caught by Stubbs, leaving RCB at 105 for three.

Rajat Patidar and Tim David added some runs before Patidar was caught behind off Mukesh Kumar and David was dismissed by Axar. RCB were 99 for two after 10 overs but managed only 76 runs in the last 10 overs, finishing below 200.

RCB vs DC Live Score, IPL 2026: RCB captain says we were '15-20 runs short'
'We were 15-20 runs short,' says RCB skipper Rajat Patidar, adding, "That was very close, but I feel that we were 15-20 runs short. The way we started initially, especially Virat bhai and Salt, they have given a good start, but from there, after 12-13 overs, we lost wickets in a couple of overs and that put us on the backseat. I think in the first inning, it was a bit tacky, I would say. But I think the way we stretched in the last over, I think that's a positive sign for us. But I think I was just discussing with the bowlers that be clear whatever you do. It's a long tournament, but I think we will go back and introspect where we put the errors and we'll rectify them."
