IPL 2023: RCB vs DC, Match Prediction and more

The Chinnaswamy Stadium will host the RCB vs DC clash. Royal Challengers Bangalore has won and lost one game each at their home. While Delhi Capitals who are at the bottom of the table will be trying to change their position at the table with a win.

RCB in their previous two encounters has had a mixed performance with both the bat and the ball. In their second game, they suffered a loss at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata where they failed to restrict KKR to a low after having them 5 wickets down for just 89 runs. With the bat in hand against KKR they only managed to score 123 runs before being bowled out while chasing a target of more than 200 runs. In their next game at home, they scored a gigantic total of 212 runs against LSG. They failed to defend the total with LSG winning the match on the last ball.

While on the other hand, DC has lost their opening four games. Their skipper, David Warner has come under scrutiny for his strike rate. Warner is second on the list for Orange Cap with 209 runs at a strike rate of 114. Warner has three fifties to his name in 4 games but he is yet to score at a good strike rate. Warner has hit 27 fours but he has not hit a six in these four games. Warner would fancy his chances to score a knock at a high strike rate at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
