Royal Challengers Bangalore v Delhi Capitals – Match Preview

The Royal Challengers Bangalore lost to the Delhi Capitals on both occasions in the 2019 IPL. In the 2018 IPL, though, the Royal Challengers Bangalore roster was too strong for Delhi twice.

Let’s see who sets the precedent for this tournament, as both franchises remain in the hunt for a maiden title in the IPL.

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

When: Monday, 5 October 2020

Start time: 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: The Dubai pitch had more grass on it at the start of the tournament than it does now. The conditions have proven increasingly tough for the bowlers. This is largely a bat-first pitch, but it’s good enough to chase a target on, too.

Weather conditions: There is another small chance of rain in Dubai on Monday, but it won’t likely impact the match. The dew factor will come into play in the evening, meaning the captain who wins the toss might bowl first. Temperatures will be characteristically high.

Royal Challengers Bangalore v Delhi Capitals – Team News

The Royal Challengers seem quite settled on their first-choice XI for now. They have two world-class leg-spinners – Adam Zampa and Yuzvendra Chahal – bowling in tandem.

With AB de Villiers playing wicketkeeper, Josh Philippe won’t likely get back into the XI soon. Whether they fit all-rounder Chris Morris, who has recovered from injury, into the unit remains in the balance.

It will be interesting to see if Delhi play spinner Harshal Patel ahead of spinner Axar Patel. It’s likely they will open the bowling with South African pace aces Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje again.

They have a formidable top three in Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan and Shreyas Iyer this IPL.

Royal Challengers Bangalore v Delhi Capitals – Betting Tips and Prediction

Here are more free cricket betting tips for today’s match. Our team of experts have followed the tournament closely. Their advice could help you make more informed decisions.

Bet on Kohli to Be the Top Batsman for RCB

Kohli returned to form with a match-winning half-century against the Rajasthan Royals. That 72 not out has seen some of the best betting sites shorten the prices on him in the top batsman market.

Kohli is still a good pick in that market, though, as are AB de Villiers and Aaron Finch. But it’s Funbet who have Kohli well priced at 2.9 to be the top batsman for Bangalore here.

Pick Nortje to Be the Top Bowler for Delhi

Anrich Nortje took three important wickets in Delhi’s recent win over the Sunrisers Hyderabad. He isn’t being upstaged by Proteas counterpart Kagiso Rabada and is a good pick to be DC’s top bowler again.

At 4.5 with 10CRIC, Nortje could bring good value. His battle with Finch, de Villiers, Kohli and other RCB stars will be a treat to watch and bet on.

Choose the Capitals to Have 50-run Opening Partnership

Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan have been excellent at the top of the order for the Capitals. They will probably remain the opening combination for this match, too.

Dhawan knows how to force the pace early, while Shaw has been showcasing some superb timing this season. Delhi are offered at 3.5 to score at least 50 runs before a wicket falls with 22Bet. It looks really good.
