DC vs RCB, Wankhede Stadium. Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals will be clashing to reach the middle of the points table. DC is lagging with two lost games out of four, while RCB is ahead with three wins in five. All the eyes will be on Virat Kohli and David Warner, and both the batter averages over 50 against each other.

Prithvi Shaw is a hit-or-miss batter, and if not dismissed early, he will dominate all the bowlers. His opening pair with David Warner is very threatening for any bowling attack. Kuldeep and Khaleel are the most important wicket-taking bowlers for DC. Now, Mitch Marsh is expected to come in place of Powell, and his arrival resolves the number 3 batter problem for DC. No confirmation on Nortje's availability.

Harsh Patel is still not available for RCB. This is a big blow to RCB's bowling unit. Siraj and Akash haven't impressed much in the tournament. Siraj has an economy rate of 16.83 in the death this IPL season, and that of Akash Deep is 20.11. Kaul may get a chance in place of Akash Deep.
