RCB vs DC Team Analysis

Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB have won their last four games on the trot to make a raging comeback into IPL 2024. They lost six games on the trot before winning four on the bounce now. They defeated PBKS by 60 runs and eliminated them from the tournament.

Virat Kohli has looked a different player in the last four games. The batters have stepped up their game as have the bowlers. However, there is still a a lot to do for the RCB side and a lot of other results need to go their way.

Delhi Capitals

DC have kept themselves in the hunt with their previous win over RR. The win was a bit controversial in the end but an important win nonetheless. The Capitals are on 12 points and can get to 16 points if they win their two next games.

They too have a few other results to go their way as well. Despite the negative NRR they are above on the points table that RCB with 12 points. A loss here will almost certainly end their campaign hopes.

RCB vs DC Key Factors

Pitch Conditions

The Chinnaswamy pitch is generally a high-scoring venue. However, GT were bowled out for 147 in the last game with the RCB using the pitch to their advantage.

The pitch looked a bit slow with the ball gripping and the bouncers and slower bouncers working well. With two home games, it will be interesting to see what kind of wicket is laid out.

Form and Fitness

The RCB bowlers and batters seemed to have regained their form in the final stages of the tournament. There are no injury concerns in the camp as well.

For DC, David Warner is still recovering from his finger injury. Ishant Sharma made a comeback in the last game against RR. Jake Fraser McGurk has kept his belligerent form going which is a good sign for the Capitals. The spin twins Kuldeep and Axar hold the key for DC.

Tactical Acumen

Both captains have led the team well in the last few games. Faf especially has understood the conditions well of away venues and used his bowlers accordingly.

Rishabh Pant's masterstroke to bring Kuldeep to bowl the 18th over changed the game for DC. Their leadership will be very important in this game.
