The Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a mixed start to their season, winning their first match against the Mumbai Indians but losing their next two matches. They will be looking to bounce back and move up the table with a win against Delhi Capitals in their next match. In their last match against Lucknow Super Giants, RCB lost in a high-scoring game. Despite the loss, their opening pair of Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli has been in good form, both scoring two half-centuries each. Glenn Maxwell has also looked confident after scoring runs in the previous match. However, the middle order has been untested with players like Dinesh Karthik and Akash Deep getting limited opportunities to bat. One area of concern for RCB has been their bowling. While Mohammad Siraj, Harshal Patel, and Karn Sharma have managed to pick up wickets, they have been too expensive, especially in the death overs. RCB will need to improve their bowling performance to restrict Delhi’s strong batting lineup. In head-to-head matches, RCB holds the upper hand with 18 wins against Delhi Capitals’ 10. One match was a tie. However, in T20 cricket, anything can happen, and Delhi Capitals will be hoping to upset RCB and secure a win.
The Delhi Capitals have had a rough start to their IPL campaign and are yet to win a match. Their current form doesn’t inspire much confidence, and they sit at the bottom of the points table, making it tough to make it to the top four. The team’s batting has been their Achilles heel, except for David Warner, who has scored three half-centuries in four outings. The rest of the top and middle-order batsmen, such as Prithvi Shaw, Manish Pandey, Yash Dhull, Rovman Powell, and Abhishek Porel, have failed to impress. The team’s middle-order struggles have been apparent as their number seven batsman, Axar Patel, has outscored the top-order batsmen, with his recent half-century being a silver lining in an otherwise gloomy situation. However, Axar hasn’t been able to replicate his form with the ball, managing only one wicket in four matches. Kuldeep Yadav hasn’t fared much better, with only two wickets to his name. The team will look to their seam attack comprising Mustafizur Rahman, Anrich Nortje, and Mukesh Kumar to make an early breakthrough with the new ball. The team has a lot of work to do to get back to winning ways and turn their campaign around. More IPL match prediction for today can be obtained from the link provided.
