Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) is hosting Delhi Capitals in the 62nd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The match between the two teams, which will decide the fate of teams in the league, is taking place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday (12th May).
This will be for the time that Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will be taking on each other in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. However, in head-to-head fixtures, the Faf du Plessis-led side has the upper hand as in 30 matches they have won 18 games while the Rishabh Pant-led side has just 11 wins.
The RCB vs DC game will be a cracker of a game because both teams need to win to stay alive in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. A loss for Royal Challengers would knock them out of the tournament while the same result for Delhi Capitals will also dent their chances for playoffs.
Delhi Capitals are currently placed 5th on the points table with 6 wins and 6 defeats to their name from 12 games in the IPL 2024. With 12 points under their belt and an NRR of -0.316, they would be keen to win and move up. On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru are 7th on the points table with 5 wins and 7 losses to their name from 12 games. They have a positive NRR of +0.217.
Both RCB and KKR would be high on confidence entering into the game. While the Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won four games on Trott, Delhi Capitals thumped Rajasthan Royals by 20 runs in their last game in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.

Delhi Capitals skipper Axar Patel won the toss and opted to field first in the game against RCB. He talked about the importance of starting well in the game and opened up about the absence of Rishabh Pant for the game. He stated:
“Will bowl first. Bangalore's wicket is always good. It's a chasing ground. When we start well, we dominate the game. Rishabh was angry and had appealed as well against the suspension. He's at the ground here, motivating the team. Kushagra comes in for Rishabh. Rasikh Dhar is in.”
Faf du Plessis on the other hand also said that he wanted to field first and highlighted the importance of continuing their good form in the IPL. He admitted that it’s a new game and they have to start fresh. He added:
“Little bit less grass than earlier games. Hopefully, it's a good wicket. We look forward to every game now - we're playing some good cricket. Have to start again. We have got more of that confidence in the dressing room. Same team for us.”
