Table of Contents
DC vs RCB Match Prediction: Delhi Capital will host Royal Challengers Bangalore at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on May 6th, 2023. The clash will be interesting because both teams are coming in this fixture after winning their previous match against all the odds.
Delhi Capitals pulled out a miracle in the last game against the table-topper Gujarat Titans in the last match as they won the match by 5 runs, and it was an amazing performance by the Delhi Capitals bowlers, who were able to defend a low total of 130.
Ishant Sharma was the man who defended 12 runs against the two best IPL finishers. When bowlers are not able to defend 28 runs in 5 balls against not an established finisher, Ishtan Sharma defended just 12 runs.
Delhi Capital’s bowling has been in good form, and because of the bowling, they were able to win 3 matches. The Shami swing destroyed their batting side, but Axar and Aman Khan were able to take their team to 130.
Royal Challengers Bangalore took their revenge on Lucknow Super Giants in their previous match when they defended a low total of 126 in 20 overs. They even won by 18 runs which is a huge margin if your total is 126 in the T20 format.
Virat Kohli was on fire in the field because when Lucknow Super Giants came to M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, They won the match by one wicket, and Gautam Gambhir, alongside his team, had some heated gestures towards the Royal Challengers Banglore team.
A huge argument happened after the match between Naveen-ul-Haq, Virat Kohli, and Gautam Gambhir that turned out to be breaching the code of conduct, which led IPL management to fine these players under the code of conduct.
The batters of Royal Challengers Bangalore are still having trouble scoring runs except for Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli. In the last game, they were the only players who could cross 17 run mark. The middle order is not scoring at all, which costs RCB to lose their points.
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s bowling was phenomenal in the last match inclusion of Josh Hazlewood in the side is a big boost for them as he took 2 wickets and gave away only 15 runs. Karn Sharma was also one of the best bowlers for the RCB side, who took 2 wickets and his four-over spell.
DC vs RCB: Head-to-Head Record
Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals played 28 matches against each other, of which Royal Challengers Bangalore won 17 matches, and Delhi Capitals won just 10 matches. The last match between them was won by the RCB team by 16 runs in IPL 2022, in which Dinesh Karthik was given player of the match, and Glenn Maxwell also scored 55 runs. It will be hard for the Delhi Capitals side to win against the mighty Royal Challengers batting lineup.
DC vs RCB: Pitch Report of Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
2023 IPL Stats at Arun Jaitley Stadium:
| Match Played | 4 |
| Batting first won | 1 |
| Batting second won | 3 |
| Average 1st innings score | 165 |
| Pace bowlers took | 29 Wickets |
| Spiner bowlers took | 20 Wickets |
The last match on the ground was between Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, which was a high-scoring battle as the Sunrisers set a total of 197 runs which they were able to defend against the Delhi side.
The pitch had everything in it for everyone. All bowlers did something for themself, but the star man of the match was Mitchell Marsh, who took 4 wickets and made 63 runs but was still not able to take the 2 points for his team.
Arun Jaitley Stadium is a high-scoring venue with short boundaries, which will help the batsman to score runs at a higher strike rate. The Pitch is also not spinner or pace-bowler friendly as the swing is less, and the batting 2nd side will find it easy to chase down the total as it happened in the previous season.
As 4 matches have already been played on the ground, there is a huge chance that Pitch will favor spinners more, but there is a good amount of chance that rain will interrupt the match. Moisture will be there on the pitch, giving a bit of swing for the swing bowlers.

Team Preview of Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals are still at the bottom of the table after winning 3 matches out of 9 in IPL 2023 till now. It was a miraculous win for the Delhi Capital side against the table topper of the IPL 2023 Gujarat Titans, and that too when they were able to defend just 130 runs on Narendra Modi Stadium, which is a batting-friendly pitch.
The top order of the Delhi Capitals was clueless about Mohammed Shami’s swing bowling class, and they lost 5 wickets on 23 runs. It was an amazing inning by Aman Hakim Khan, Axar Patel, and Ripal Patel, who took their team to 130 total.
Delhi Capitals is struggling with the top-order batsmen, and now, if they don’t contribute runs for the team, then it is going to be very hard for them to even think of qualifying for the playoffs.
David Warner’s runs scoring consistency went down in the last three matches as he scored only 21 runs in the last 3 games, which is not a piece of good news for the Delhi Capitals side because he is the only batsman who is reliable. Until now, he scored 308 runs in 9 matches.
The good news for the Delhi Capitals side is their bowling unit consistently performed well against every team, and it was due to bowlers Delhi won their last match. Ishtan Sharma is a legendary bowler who defended 12 runs against the power hitters like Rahul Tewatia and Hardik Pandya in the last over of the match.
Rilee Rossouw is a waste buy for the Delhi Capitals side as in 4 matches, he was able to score just 52 runs, which is unacceptable for a player who has been bought in for 4.60 Crore rupees. The first two four by his bat was amazing, but then he got out on the 6th ball of his innings.
Warner and Philip Salt need to give a good start to the team so they can build up the innings well and post a big total to give their bowlers something to defend. Manish Pandey is playing like a school-level batsman who doesn’t know when to hit the ball or when to rotate the strike.
Lalit Yadav is the better option for the team to play in the middle order because Manish Pandey is doing nothing, and if the Delhi Capitals team let Lalit play, then they would be able to get one more bowling option.
Team Preview of Royal Challengers Bangalore
Royal Challengers Bangalore is now in 5th place after beating Lucknow Super Giants in the low-scoring encounter at Ekkana Stadium, Lucknow.
Royal Challengers Bangalore’s batting lineup once again collapsed after Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis got out, and they were able to post just 126 runs on the board.
The bowling unit did a fabulous job defending a low total and bowling out the Lucknow Super Giants team on just 108 runs. Every bowler of Royal Challengers Bangalore performed well in the last match, which was a huge boost for the side.
Virat Kohli’s passion and spirit lifted the match temperature high, and because of the high-intensity match, there were a few arguments that happened on the field, which coasted Kohli to get a fine of 1.7 Crore rupees because he broke the IPL Code of Conduct for misbehaving. However, Kohli thanked the crowd and fans for the support after the match on his social media.
However, Royal Challengers Bangalore need to sort out their middle order batting condition because in all 9 matches middle order was a failure which coasted them 4 losses. They need to give Michael Bracewell and Kedar Jadhav a chance into the side to give the middle order more composure while bating.
Faf du Plessis was happy with the win, as he said in the post-match conference about the team spirit and Jos Hazelwood.
Opposite, complete opposites (the pitch here vs Chinnaswamy). We played really well in the first six overs. That’s when you can play the same way. To have a fifty partnership in the six overs was match changing. Batting first was important. Spinners was hard work. Even Mahipal got the ball to hold. If you can bowl the ball on a good area, it’s pretty hard to score. Would’ve liked 135 – in my mind that was a really good score. Before we went on the field, we said to the guys it’s a match-winning score.
Great to have Hazlewood back. Nothing to the guys who’ve filled his shoes. But good to have him.
