Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Captain Rajat Patidar has amassed 1021 IPL runs with a high score of 112 not out and nine half-centuries. His credentials fit the bill to lead the side. Former captain Virat Kohli continues to be a cornerstone for his side’s batting lineup even without a captain’s armband. He took the Orange Cap in the 2024 season with 741 runs at an impressive average of 61.75 and a strike rate of 154.69.

Phil Salt has made his presence known in India since his IPL debut in 2023. He has scored 892 runs with eight half-centuries and a strike rate over 170.

The middle order boasts the prowess of Australian international Tim David with over 800 IPL runs. Jitesh Sharma will be key behind the stumps and with bat in hand after accumulating more than 850 runs in his IPL career.

Elegant stroke-player Devdutt Padikkal has been a consistent performer after hitting back-to-back half-centuries against Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals respectively. Krunal Pandya adds depth and the natural affinity with winning matches on his own through either late order power-hitting or left-arm finger-spin.

The experienced Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been a consistent wicket-taker over the years across formats and leagues. The right-armer has over 750 career wickets. Josh Hazlewood has justified his price tag by delivering match-winning performances, including a notable four for 33 versus Rajasthan Royals.

Pacer Yash Dayal has been a valuable addition since 2024 because of his left-arm angle and 23 wickets for the team. Young spinner Suyash Sharma has had his fair share of impactful spells with his best spell in the IPL of three for 30.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi has become a haven for high-scoring matches in recent IPL seasons. In IPL 2024, every match at the ground saw totals exceeding 200 runs with the Sunrisers’ 266 for seven against Delhi Capitals being the highest of the season at the venue. Despite the batting-friendly conditions, bowlers have had their moments. There were eight instances of bowlers picking up three or more wickets in an innings at the venue in 2024.

The soaring temperatures of mid to late 30 degrees Celsius will be the most potent weather conditions on the day. The humidity will be moderate and there could be a light breeze. The chance of rain for the match is at five percent.

DC vs RCB: Who Will Win?

Delhi Capitals will be confident after beating their opposition earlier in the tournament. They are also on a roll after beating Lucknow Super Giants by eight wickets. The men in red and gold from Bangalore have made a habit of winning away from home this year. Rajat Patidar’s men are the favorites at the betting sites to take points on the road with their away record and recent record over the past few seasons against the Capitals.

We are, however, backing the Delhi Capitals to win this match. They have a better balanced team and a very strong bowling attack.
