Venue: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru

BLR vs DEL Match Preview

A resurgent Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be aiming to add further to its four-match winning streak. Virat Kohli has been scoring consistently throughout the season. Other batters like Faf du Plessis, Will Jacks, and Rajat Patidar have joined the party as well. Patidar's gameplay against spin has been impressive so far and he can be RCB's trump card in this game. Despite limited bowling resources, Bengaluru bowlers have managed things quite well in the last few games. Mohammed Siraj is getting the new ball to move around while legspinner Karn Sharma and Swapnil Singh are doing a decent job in the middle overs.

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals will be aiming harder to push for their playoffs chances as well. But they wlll miss the services of their captain Rishabh Pant who has been suspended for this game due to breach of conduct. This leaves their batting order quite young and inexperienced, although, in great form. Jake Fraser-McGurk has been in scintillating form with the bat while Abishek Porel has been consistent as well. The onus will be on Tristan Stubbs and Axar Patel to handle the middle order in the absence of Pant. On the bowling front, young Rasikh Salam has shown tremendous composure after a tough start to the campaign. DC's fast bowlers could be handy on this bouncy Chinnaswamy track. Spinners Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav will be tested on this pitch.
