DC VS RCB Match Preview:
Delhi Capitals have been in tremendous form in this season so far. They have been good in all departments collectively which shows in the points table. Rishab Pant and Shimron Hetmyer have shown some glimpses of form but are yet to play a big inning.
R Ashwin was expensive in the last match but will be a key player at a venue like Dubai which might assist spinners well. Amit Mishra got injured and might make way for Axar Patel who was rested in the last match. Anrich Nortje has been one of the biggest positives for Delhi's bowling line up this season.
RCB will be delighted to see Virat Kohli getting back into scoring runs. All the batsmen are looking comfortable in the batting line up. Devdutt Padikkal is a key player for RCB.
Bangalore's bowling line up is coming good after the inclusion of Isuru Udana who adds variety to the attack. Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal is in excellent form.
Royal Challengers Bangalore has dominated Delhi Capitals in the past seasons. However, looking at the current form of the two teams, it will be a closely contested game.
