The Delhi Capitals will play for pride when they host the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 50th game of the Indian Premier League 2023. The hosts come in with a win over the Gujarat Titans, which will boost their confidence. The Royal Challengers defeated the Lucknow Super Giants in their previous game, and a win in this game will allow them to climb the points table.
This season, the Delhi Capitals have only won three games and are at the bottom of the points table. Their batsmen have been inconsistent, putting pressure on the team. In contrast, the Royal Challengers Bangalore’s key players are in top form. It’ll be fascinating to see if the Capitals can pull off another upset in this game.
The 50th Match between Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore will take place on May 6th, 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
Delhi Capitals (Match Odds – 2.05):
Preview:
David Warner’s team surprised the Gujarat Titans with a last-minute victory. They successfully defended their 130-run lead, winning by 5 runs. It was a rare bright spot for the team in an otherwise disastrous campaign. They can’t make the playoffs any longer, and Warner wants his players to play for pride in this game.
The side’s inconsistency with the bat has been a major issue, and they will need a strong start from David Warner and Philip Salt to put RCB on the mat. They need runs from Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw, and Priyan Garg because the middle order hasn’t fired. Axar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, and Ripal Patel must score runs in the lower middle order to compensate for the lack of form at the top.
The bowling attack will be pleased to replicate its performance from the previous game. The RCB openers are in good form and will need quick runs from Khaleel Ahmed and Ishant Sharma. Anrich Nortje hasn’t been at his best recently, and the team will be hoping for a strong spell from him in this game. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav must play important roles because the circumstances favor them.
Full Squad:
David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Ripal Patel, Rovman Powell, Sarfaraz Khan, Yash Dhull, Mitchell Marsh, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Chetan Sakariya, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Khaleel Ahmed, Lungi Ngidi, Mustafizur Rahman, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Praveen Dubey, Vicky Ostwal, Ishant Sharma, Phil Salt, Mukesh Kumar, Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw

Players to watch out for:
David Warner
The left-handed Australian has been an excellent team leader this season. However, he has only hit two runs in his last two games and will need to regain his form in this game.
Aman Hakim Khan
The batting all-rounder hit 51 to help Delhi Capitals post a competitive total against Gujarat Titans.
Ishant Sharma
The right-arm pace bowler has been a standout for the Delhi Capitals this season, dismissing Vijay Shankar and Rahul Tewatia in the most recent match.
Possible Playing XI:
David Warner (c), Philip Salt (wk), Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw, Priyam Garg, Axar Patel, Ripal Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed (Impact Player)
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Match Odds – 1.78):
Preview:
Faf du Plessis’ team has improved. They have won three of their last four games, including an 18-run victory over the Lucknow Super Giants in a low-scoring game. The RCB captain would like to see better performances from his middle-order players, as this has been the team’s biggest weakness. The visitors will look to capitalize on Delhi Capitals’ struggles.
Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli have been in fantastic form, and the experienced duo must get off to a good start in this game. Glenn Maxwell has been the side’s lone performer in the middle order, which has been a bit of a headache. Anju Rawat and Suyash Prabhudessai will be required to run for the team. Runs must be added down the order by Dinesh Karthik, Mahipal Lomror, and Wanindu Hasaranga.
The bowlers performed admirably in the previous game, and they can expect early wickets from Mohammad Siraj and Josh Hazlewood. Hasaranga must take advantage of the conditions and pick wickets in the middle order alongside Maxwell. In the supporting role, Karn Sharma, Lamror, and Harshal Patel will look to keep the Capitals at bay.
Full Squad:
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Suyash Prabhudessai, Rajat Patidar, Dinesh Karthik, Anuj Rawat, Finn Allen, Glenn Maxwell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Shahbaz Ahmed, Harshal Patel, David Willey, Karn Sharma, Mahipal Lomror, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood, Siddarth Kaul, Akash Deep, Reece Topley, Himanshu Sharma, Michael Bracewell, Manoj Bhandage, Rajan Kumar, Avinash Singh, Sonu Yadav
