RCB vs DC Pitch Report

The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is generally known to favour the batter. But this season, the wicket has appeared to be a bit two-paced, especially in the first innings of the games. Though the highest-ever T20 aggregate total in a match was recorded at this venue in this IPL edition, the wicket has generally been different from the traditional batter's paradise. 

M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Ground Stats (IPL 2024)

Matches: 5
Matches won batting first: 2
Matches won batting second: 3

Average first innings total: 195
Average second innings total: 186
Highest recorded total: 287/3 by Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Lowest recorded total: 147/10 by Gujarat Titans vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Fantasy value from pitch report

• The wicket will not be a batter's paradise as it has always been at this venue. The batters need to spend some time on the wicket before they can reap the benefits of the playing conditions. 
• The spinners and the bowlers with effective cutters in their repertoire have so far been effective on this pitch in IPL 2024.

RCB vs DC Fantasy Cricket Tips

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Heavy Fantasy XI

• Virat Kohli has been in excellent touch in the tournament. He has been nearly impeccable with the bat, which makes him a safe choice for fantasy contests. Along with Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar could also be good picks. 
• Mohammed Siraj did not have a great start to the tournament. But in the last few games, Siraj has been doing a good job and will be an efficient choice for the match. Besides Siraj, Karn Sharma looks like a good pick.

Delhi Capitals Heavy Fantasy XI

• Rishabh Pant will not be a part of this match. So, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs look like the best picks for this game. 
• Regarding the bowling of DC, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar and Kuldeep Yadav could be good picks for the fantasy contests. 

RCB vs DC Winner Prediction

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been playing great cricket in the last few games. The Capitals will be missing their regular skipper, Rishabh Pant, and hence DC looks in an advantageous position.
