IPL 2024: Match 62, RCB vs DC Match Prediction – Who will win today’s IPL match between RCB and DC?

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be locking horns with the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Sunday, May 12 at 7.30pm.

The hosts are coming off four consecutive wins; the first and fourth of the sequence occured while defending totals, while the couple in the middle panned out during pursuit of targets. In order to have any chances of reaching the playoffs, they would have to win their remaining matches, the one against DC and the one following that against the Chennai Super Kings; which automatically makes RCB a team to be not taken lightly by the visitors.

On the other hand, despite DC staging a 20-run victory in their previous match against the Rajasthan Royals, they find themselves on 12 points with as many matches played. Despite having a net run rate markedly inferior than RCB (-0.316 vis-à-vis +0.217), they're sitting on fifth position. However, it's kind of a must-win for them as well, considering the Lucknow Super Giants lurking behind them with a couple of matches in store as well.

RCB vs DC Probable Best Players of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Virat Kohli

With the stalwart already hoarding 634 runs in 12 innings this season and him being the Orange Cap holder up until now, it may be expected for him to score big yet again, against a side whose base is where he was born and brought up in; add to that this being a do-or-die fixture for RCB and Kohli being well-renowned for being a big-match player.

Probable Best Bowler: Kuldeep Yadav

The wrist-spinner has taken 14 wickets in nine matches this season, and might be a menace with his variations as well as his guile, both of which have been observed in large bouts this season. Him taking an aggregate of six wickets against the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Rajasthan Royals in the previous few games DC have played, will reinstate a sense of credence in him to deliver the goods against yet another team crammed with power-packed batters.
