Bangalore managed to break a six-match losing streak by recently winning four matches in a row. They have risen from the bottom of the table among the 10 teams to the seventh position. They continue to strive for their first IPL title. Virat Kohli has been at the forefront of their recent success with the bat. He scored 634 runs in 12 innings, averaging 70, with a strike rate of 154. Kohli received good support from Faf du Plessis and Dinesh Karthik, each of whom scored over 300 runs in this season’s IPL. Mohammed Siraj has been Bangalore’s top wicket-taker this year. In the same number of matches, he has taken 11 wickets. Siraj is one of the premier fast bowlers in the tournament and has earned a spot in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, which will take place next month in the United States and the West Indies.
Delhi has secured three victories in their last four matches. This includes a recent win against title-favorite Rajasthan Royals. The Capitals have succeeded in turning around a campaign that started with wins in the first five matches. Let’s see if they can achieve success here as well. Rishabh Pant, Tristan Stubb, and Jake Fraser-McGurk have been Delhi’s top scorers this season. They have been resilient both in partnership and individually. McGurk’s powerful stroke, topping the tournament’s charts, has been a revelation. He scores 236 runs per 100 balls an impressive strike rate over a sustained period. Mukesh Kumar, Khalid Ahmed, and Kuldeep Yadav have been Delhi’s most effective bowlers this IPL season. The right-arm seamer, left-arm seamer, and left-arm wrist-spinner have a total of 43 wickets. The Capitals have also benefited from additional variety from Axar Patel. The left-arm spinner has taken 10 wickets in this year’s IPL.
