Expert Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?

• If DC bats first, their top order will have to fire for them to post a good total. DC's lower-middle has looked fragile, and the top order will have to take the onus to power the team to a good total. If DC fails to score big, they are likely to lose as RCB's batters are in good form.
• If RCB bat first, they will also be eyeing a big score. Most of their batters are in good form at present, and they will be looking to make it count. RCB's bowlers, especially pacers, have done well so far and can defend a good total.

While DC have the home advantage, RCB will be the favourites to win the upcoming game against them.
