Delhi Capitals will lock horns against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 50th match of the tournament at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Saturday. DC is currently at the bottom of the points table with three wins in nine matches and the David Warner-led team will have to win the remaining five matches in order to stand a chance to qualify for the playoff stages.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore has won five out of the nine matches they have played and they will be looking to carry the good show in the tournament.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals had stunned defending champions Gujarat Titans in the previous match by five runs and this win must have given them a lot of confidence.
The bowlers have done an amazing job for Delhi Capitals but their batting has let them down so far in the tournament. They were able to defend 130 runs in the last game but their batters need to pull up their socks against RCB.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore had won their previous match against Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs. In fact, RCB also could manage 126 runs on the board but their bowlers delivered for them.
Match Prediction: Royal Challengers Bangalore will enter the contest as favorites against Delhi Capitals.
