Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 50th Match, IPL 2023: Head-to-Head and other key stats

Dehli Capitals will clash with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 28th match of the IPL 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The Delhi Capitals started the season in the worst possible way, they lost 5 back to back games but have bounced back well with two back-to-back victories. David Warner has scored runs for his team but the strike rate has been an issue. Apart from him, other batters failed to gel up. Axar Patel has looked the man in form for the Capitals, he has done well with both bat and the ball. Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ishant Sharma have been consistent, with Mukesh Kumar and the rest of the bowlers chipping in with decent contributions. Delhi Capital is coming into the game on the back of an amazing performance against the league table leaders and defending champions Gujarat Titans.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore are placed in fifth place in the points table. They have ten points from nine games, winning five and losing four matches. RCB haven’t been consistent overall this season. RCB has done exceedingly well away from home. The only concern for RCB is the middle and lower-order batting and bowling which is unpredictable. Du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell are doing the bulk of run-scoring, while Mohammed Siraj has been a spearhead with the ball. Apart from this, Karn Sharma, Vyshak Vijaykumar, and Wanindu Hasaranga have made some handy contributions. Josh Hazlewood did well in his comeback game and will be key in this fixture. The team management would expect Shahbaz Ahmed, Anuj Rawat, Dinesh Karthik, Suyash Prabhudessai and Mahipal Lomror to step up and contribute with the bat.

Pitch

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Chepauk has traditionally supported spin bowling. The batters have found it tough to get quick runs against spinners at this venue. The ball might do a little bit for the fast bowlers in the initial stages of the match as well, but it will get easier to bat as the match progresses. The batters need to get their eye in before going for the aggressive shots, they can take advantage of the short boundaries at this venue. The team winning the toss would be inclined to bowl first at this venue and chase the score down in the second innings with some dew expected.
