Preview
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face Delhi Capitals in the 62nd match of the IPL 2024 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. While the Bengaluru-based franchise are coming off a dominating 60-run win over Punjab Kings, the Delhi Capitals are coming after a 20-run win over the Rajasthan Royals. With the IPL 2024 playoffs spot still up for grabs, a winner in this match will be a step ahead as DC is placed at fifth place with 12 points, while the Royal Challengers are seventh with only 10 points.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru have been very conducive for the batting lineups to post a total way in excess of 200 runs during the IPL 2024. With that, the average first-inning score of 175 at this venue in tournament history isn’t proving to be enough for teams to compete with, especially for the hosts RCB, who have been struggling of conceding big totals in the ongoing edition.
Team Analysis
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
After a dismissal start to their campaign which nearly knocked them out of the playoffs race, RCB has finally fired as a unit and performed well over the last few games. The batting has seen contributions from nearly every batter in their formidable top six. On the bowling front, their all-Indian attack consisting of Mohammed Siraj, Yash Dayal, and Swapnil Singh has finally clicked.
