RCB vs DC IPL Records & Stats at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
RCB are fighting with every breath to stay alive in the playoffs race, but even one loss and they will be out.
In an encounter important for both teams, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will be hosting the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their penultimate league fixture. This will be the penultimate league fixture for DC as well.
Both teams are trying very hard to stay alive in the race to the playoffs in IPL 2024 and will be bolstered by wins in their respective previous fixtures. Fifties from Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar followed by a blitzkrieg from Cameron Green helped RCB put up a daunting 241 that proved a tad too tall for PBKS, especially without support from their own contributors Rilee Rossouw and Shashank Singh.
Delhi Capitals enjoyed a win over Rajasthan Royals in their last fixture. Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abhishek Porel made very aggressive fifties which with the support of Tristan Stubbs managed to give them a total beyond RR's reach. Sanju Samson was the only one who fought for RR but that did not prove enough to take them over the line.
M Chinnaswamy Stadium Pitch Report:
Famously flat, the surface here showed a different picture altogether in the last game here when both RCB and Gujarat Titans collapsed at various points in their innings as life was slightly difficult in chasing just 147 for RCB. But that does not take away the penchant it has for high scores.

X-Factors for RCB vs DC:
Royal Challengers Benagluru:
RCB's resurgence has mostly been credited to their bowling efforts, especially as a team. But the X-Factor in their camp still remains with Orange Cap holder Virat Kohli. He has been the most consistent contributor with the bat in RCB's resurgence and he will be up to the task.
Delhi Capitals:
Jake Fraser-McGurk will have to keep batting the way he has been in order to keep DC's hopes alive. His top-order starts have been the most crucial aspect of DC this season and he will need to be at his best to overcome the possibly unhelpful new ball phase.
