With both teams on equal points and a very narrow difference in net run rate, Bengaluru and Delhi are likely to make this a tight clash. I am looking at the sixes market, though, and that’s where Bengaluru’s bowling gives them an edge. I am backing RCB to post the most 6s of the match.

  • RCB conceded 8.75 sixes per match in this campaign, while scoring 10.25 sixes per match.
  • Delhi Capitals hit only 11 sixes in total across their last two matches.
  • Bengaluru scored the most sixes of the match in 8 of their last 10 matches.
  • Delhi conceded the most sixes in 2 of their 3 matches this season.

Head to Head


There have been 32 matches between RCB and DC so far, with 19 wins for Bengaluru and 11 wins for Delhi. One match ended in a tie, and the other ended without any result.

It is RCB who have an edge in recent H2Hs, with five wins from their last six matches against DC. That included a 47-run win at this venue last season when Rajat Patidar (52 off 32 balls) and Yash Dayal (3 for 0) led the charge for RCB.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Form


After Tuesday’s matches, RCB are third in the standings with six points from four matches. They are coming off a 12-run win over the Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede.

It was a sensational win, led by Virat Kohli, who remains their best batter of the season (164 runs, SR 143.85). Captain Rajat Patidar (161 runs, SR 175) has been equally impressive with two 50+ scores.

Among the bowlers, it’s the impressive Josh Hazlewood (eight wickets, ER 7.76) who led the show so far. Krunal Pandya (seven wickets) has shown his value by containing the batters at different sections of the game.

Bengaluru have been backing the same side for a few games, but if there’s a change they would like to make, it could be Jacob Bethell coming in place of Liam Livingstone.

Delhi Capitals Form


After Tuesday’s matches, Delhi remained top of the table with six points and an impressive NRR of positive 1.257. They are coming off a 25-run win over Chennai Super Kings away in Chennai, where KL Rahul (77) and Vipraj Nigam (2 for 27) were very impressive.

The Capitals are still looking to find a batting leader, and the return of Rahul augurs well for them. Faf du Plessis is another player who can add weight with his runs.

Bowling has been Delhi’s strong point this season, with Mitchell Starc (nine wickets) and Kuldeep Yadav (six wickets, ER 6) leading them with aplomb.

Faf du Plessis was unfit for the last match but could come back here, with Sameer Rizvi likely to sit out. Natarajan’s fitness could be another sticking point.

Verdict

Delhi won three matches in a row based on their bowling exploits, but that could come under threat from Bengaluru in this fixture. It could be an interesting game ahead of us, and I am looking at the sixes market. It is RCB that I am backing in the market for most 6s.
