Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Predictions


The two teams are locked at the top of the table on 12 points along with the Gujarat Titans. The Capitals have a game in hand and are at home in this match, so I’m backing their top-order to out-bat RB.

  • Delhi Capitals’ KL Rahul has scored 93*, 38, 28 & 57* in his last 5 innings.
  • Delhi Capitals’ Abishek Porel has scored 33, 49 & 51 in his last 4 innings.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli has scored 62*, 73* & 70 in his last 4 innings.
  • Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Devdutt Padikkal has scored 40*, 61 & 50 in his last 3 innings.

Head-to-Head


Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won three and lost two of their last five matches against Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals Form


Delhi Capitals bounced back from their seven-wicket defeat to Gujarat Titans by beating the Lucknow Super Giants by eight wickets. 

Delhi Capitals restricted the Super Giants to 159/6 off their 20 overs. Mukesh Kumar (4/33, econ 8.25) did the most damage with the ball.

Delhi Capitals timed their chase perfectly, reaching 161/2 off 17.5 overs. Abishek Porel (51 off 36 balls) and KL Rahul (57* off 42) led the run chase. 

Delhi Capitals Team News


There are no injury reports from the Delhi Capitals squad.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Form


Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their second game on the bounce when they beat the Rajasthan Royals by 11 runs. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru posted a formidable 205/5 off their 20 overs. Virat Kohli (70 off 42 balls) and Devdutt Padikkal (50 off 27) added 95 for the second wicket. 

The Royals started superbly but couldn’t maintain the run rate, ending on 194/5 off their 20 overs. Josh Hazlewood (4/33, econ 8.25) knocked over the Royals’ two top-scorers in a brilliant display of bowling. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Team News


Royal Challengers Bengaluru are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

I am backing Delhi Capitals to win. I am also backing KL Rahul to top score for Delhi Capitals.

Virat Kohli is a good bet to top score for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
