Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru prediction

The Delhi Capitals have lost four of their last five matches in the IPL. Remarkably, they set the Punjab Kings 265 to win the other day but that was chased by six wickets in just 18.5 overs after KL Rahul had hit an unbeaten 152 from 67 balls.

They face an RCB side that themselves easily chased a 200+ target as they hunted Gujarat Titans down by five wickets. RCB welcomed Jacob Bethell into the side after an injury for Phil Salt but it was Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal that inspired the champions to victory.

RCB have a strong and well-balanced side that have now won five of seven matches this season and, given Delhi’s bowling issues, RCB appear a good bet for this one.
