Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals Predictions

Delhi Capitals top the IPL league table with six points after winning their opening three matches. Royal Challengers are one of four other sides also on six points, but the Capitals have a better net run rate as well as a game in hand. RCB are in good form, so I am backing them to hand Delhi their first loss of the season.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Virat Kohli has scored 84, 59*, 31 & 67 in his last 6 innings.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s Rajat Patidar has scored 34, 51 & 64 in his last 5 innings.
Delhi Capitals’ KL Rahul has scored 23, 42*, 34* & 77 in his last 5 innings.
Delhi Capitals’ Abishek Porel has scored 52, 34* & 33 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Royal Challengers have won four of their last five matches against Delhi Capitals, who have won one match.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Form

The Royal Challengers bounced back from a loss to the Gujarat Titans by beating the Mumbai Indians by 12 runs.

The Royal Challengers posted a daunting 221/5 off their 20 overs. Virat Kohli (67 off 42 balls) and Rajat Patidar (64 off 32) starred with the bat.

Mumbai’s top-order chased well, only to fall 12 runs short of their target. Krunal Pandya (4/45) and Josh Hazlewood (2/37, 9.25) were the destroyers-in-chief.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Team News

Royal Challengers have an excellent record against Delhi Capitals and, with home ground advantage, I don’t see Delhi Capitals being able to extend their unbeaten record.

Delhi Capitals Form

Delhi Capitals beat the Chennai Super Kings by 25 runs to record their third win in a row this season.

KL Rahul scored a superb 77 off 51 balls against the Super Kings attack. He was well backed-up by the top-order as they posted a competitive 183/6 off their 20 overs.

The Super Kings innings crumbled around Vijay Shankar (69 off 54), ending on 158/5. The Capitals attack bowled superbly, led by Vipraj Nigam (2/27, econ 6.75).

Delhi Capitals Team News

Delhi Capitals are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Royal Challengers Bengaluru v Delhi Capitals - T20

I am backing Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win. I am also backing Virat Kohli to top score for Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

KL Rahul is a good bet to top score for the Delhi Capitals.
