TEAMS PREVIEW
Delhi Capitals Preview
Axar Patel will be proud of his team’s performance this season. They defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by 8 wickets in the last game to move to the second spot on the points table. They have their batsmen in good form, and the bowlers have also done well. They defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier in the season, and the team will look to draw inspiration from that win and do the same.
Abishek Porel batted well in the last game, and he looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Karun Nair. KL Rahul and Axar Patel set up a match-winning partnership in the last game and are looking to build partnerships with Tristan Stubbs. Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, and Mitchell Starc can hit the ball hard and add firepower to this batting lineup.
Mitchell Starc and Axar Patel bowled brilliantly in the last game, and they will have to do well as the Royal Challengers are in good form. Mukesh Kumar will be confident after his 4-wicket spell in the last game and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Dushmantha Chameera. The team will expect a good show in the supporting role from Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam.
oyal Challengers Bengaluru Preview
Rajat Patidar’s team has been the talk of the world this season. They have shed their tag of being slow starters and have done well since the season’s start. The side defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 11 runs. They have enjoyed a good record against the Delhi Capitals, and Patidar would like his team to build on the momentum and take a step towards the playoffs.
Virat Kohli is among the best batsmen this season and played a match-winning knock against RR. He’ll look to deliver a strong start with Phillip Salt. Devdutt Padikkal is batting well, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Tim David and Rajat Patidar. Jitesh Sharma, Romario Shepherd, and Krunal Panya are powerful hitters and complete a strong batting unit.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal leaked runs in the last game, and the team needs a better show from them with the new ball. Josh Hazlewood picked 4 wickets in the last game and tilted the odds. He will look to do the same with Shepherd in the middle overs. Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma add variety to this attack, making it strong.
Weather Conditions
There will be clear skies over Delhi. We expect the conditions to be hot. The track would be a good one to bat on, where batsmen can play their strokes easily. The average first innings score is 169 runs, and the side batting first would like more than 190 runs on the board to feel confident.
DC vs RCB Pitch Report
Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, is one of the best venues for T20 cricket in India, and we have seen high-scoring games here in the past. Fast bowlers must bring out their variations to do well here, and the spinners enjoy good support from the wicket. Batsmen can play here without fear as the ball comes onto the bat nicely.
Toss: To Bowl
The side chasing the score in this venue won most games in the last two seasons. We have seen big scores, and the excellent wicket makes it a good surface to chase. The side that wins the toss in this game would opt to bowl first and try and dismiss the opponent for a small total.
