RCB vs DC Match Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals, 20th Match of IPL

RCB vs DC Match Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals, 20th Match of IPL.

RCB vs DC Match Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore will host Delhi Capitals at their home ground ( M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru). The Match will start at 3:30 PM/IST, and the hope for Royal Challengers Bangalore will be higher in this match because they are going against the side that lost four out of four matches in IPL 2023.

Royal Challengers Bangalore once again disappointed themselves and their fans when they lost against Lucknow Super Giants by 1 wicket. The team’s bowling unit once again failed to defend a massive total put on by their own batsmen. They put on a massive total of 212 runs in 20 overs and lost only 2 wickets in which Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis once again shone the brightest.

Virat Kohli scored 61 runs in 44 balls and, from the first ball, looked commanding over his shots, but the main fireworks came from the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Faf du Plessis, who scored 79 runs in 46 balls. He also hits a 115-meter six on Ravi Bishnoi’s ball, the biggest six of IPL 2023 until now, and the reaction of Glenn Maxwell was amazing. But Bowlers disappointed the side as Nicholas Pooran played a fantastic inning to snatch the victory from the RCB side.

Delhi Capitals continued their disappointing season as they lost their 4th match against the Mumbai Indians side by 6 wickets in a thrilling match. Once again, Delhi’s batting lineup failed to perform well, and only two players crossed the 50-run mark. David Warner once again stood alone for the Delhi side and scored 51 runs in 47 balls. Axar Patel was the only one who looked in fine form, as he scored 54 runs in just 25 balls.

Prithvi Shaw once again failed to show his domestic performance and got out on Hrithik Shokeen’s balls, but this time Shaw hitted three boundaries and was looking in good touch. Delhi Capitals tried Yash Dull on the number 4 spot, but he was also not able to score runs. The team looks in deep trouble now, and it will be very hard for the team bowling and batting unit to win against the Royal Challengers Bangalore side.

Bowlers hate to bowl on this ground because the boundaries are short, and the pitches are flat. In the last match, 27 sixes were hit by both teams, one of the highest in IPL. That clearly shows why batsmen love this ground, and bowlers hate it.

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has been a paradise for the batsmen as it has pitch-bat-friendly and short boundaries, which makes it very hard for bowlers to defend runs, and there have been high-scoring matches played on this ground.

RCB vs DC: Team Preview of Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

The Royal Challengers Bangalore team is unpredictable. When they click together, they beat any side easily, but when it’s not their day then, they just collapse immediately. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are giving all they can to make their team win the match, but other guys need to step up.

Royal Challengers Bangalore will look to have some changes in their bowling lineup as their bowlers are giving away too many runs and not able to defend high totals. The inclusion of Wayne Parnell was a huge boost for them as, after 9 years, he once again played in an IPL match and took 3 wickets with his swing bowling.

Both overseas bowlers Josh Hazelwood and Reece Topley got injured, which led them to miss the whole season of the IPL, which impacted the bowling unit of Royal Challengers Bangalore. One good news for the Royal Challengers Bangalore fans in their previous match was Glenn Maxwell’s form, as he scored 59 runs in just 29 balls, hitting 6 sixes and 3 fours in his innings.

Important Players of Royal Challengers Bangalore
Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli has been great on this ground, as he has three centuries and 21 half-centuries in 91 matches. He scored 2489 runs with an average of 38.29 runs per match. He scored 61 runs in his previous innings and looked in great touch and looking in fine form this year.

Faf du Plessis

Faf du Plessis is not much behind King Kohli as he played 119 matches and scored 3578 runs with an average of 35.43 runs per match. He has been amazing since the start of the year and, in three matches, scored 175 runs. He hit the biggest six of the IPL 2023 till now, which was around 115 meters against the Ravi Bishnoi bowling. Faf also has the captaincy responsibility and has always been known for his big innings, just like he played in his previous match when he scored 79 runs in just 46 balls.

RCB vs DC: Team Preview of Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals are the only team who has not won any match in their four matches which is a big disappointment for them. The batting lineup is not looking great at all, and their playing XI selection has been disastrous, which is one of the main reasons for them as they are not being able to pick their perfect XI.

Having too many star coaches can be a reason because every coach has some favorite players whom they want to give chances, and maybe that’s why there are too many changes in every match for the Delhi Capital side.

David Warner has been consistent with the bat in every match, but the strike rate is a huge issue for him because he is playing at the strike rate of 108, which is also low for the ODI format. They have a big issue with 1st and 2nd down batsmen not scoring any runs, and they need to give Philip Salt a chance in the opening because Prithvi Shaw is not scoring any runs at all.

The South African bowler Lungi Ngidi still not got any chance to be on the playing XI which is a surprise because he has a great T20 record on his name and has the experience of playing in IPL. He played 14 matches of the IPL and picked 25 wickets. He, alongside Anrich Nortje, can be amazing for the Delhi Capital side.
