RCB vs DC: Team Previews
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
The journey that began from rocky waves right from the shore has now found stable waters, or so we hope. Royal Challengers Bengaluru lost six matches on the bounce and by that time half of the season had already passed, they were languishing right at the bottom. It wasn't until their game against Pat Cummins' led SRH, that they turned the tide and returned to winning ways. Going forward, they have only one aim and that is to be on their toes and deliver nothing but top class performance.
As we all know batters win you matches but bowlers win you tournaments. Similarly, in their upcoming game against DC, they would require big support from their bowlers. Mohd. Siraj, Karn Sharma, Lockie Ferguson and Swapnil Singh will all have to be on their best performance in order to restrict Delhi for a low total, as the past has shown numerous times how destructive their batters can be especially Jake Fraser McGurk and Tristan Stubbs.
On the batting front, they look pretty solid, especially now that the entire team is making a genuine effort to help Virat Kohli, particularly Faf du Plessis ,Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar. The team should just be focused on putting up a good all-round effort in order to snatch another victory from the hands of fate.
Delhi Capitals
Talking about Delhi Capitals, they've also had a mix of a season. They have won some and they've lost some. But interestingly, most of their wins can be credited to their batting line-up who have single-handedly demolished the opposition bowlers on numerous occasions this season.
While they are already grappling with the suspension of their captain, Rishabh Pant, they would once again heavily rely on the support of their other batters especially, Prithvi Shaw, Jake Fraser McGurk and Tristan Stubbs. It is assumed that if they win the toss they will bat first.
On the bowling front, they would want to put their best foot forward and Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar will hold key to their victory.
