DC vs RCB, the match 27th of Tata IPL 2022, is scheduled to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai from 7:30 PM IST on 16 April 2022.
Team Updates:
Delhi Capitals are in peril due to the unavailability of Mitchell Marsh and the injuries of Anrich Nortje. They cannot fill up their required quota of 4 overseas players in the playing XI appropriately. However, Mitchell Marsh has joined the Capitals camp and is expected to play the game against RCB. This will boost their batting and bowling unit as the all-rounder is a hard-hitter and can chip in with a few overs in the middle. Nevertheless, they will feel the need for a premium overseas fast bowler in the playing XI.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore greatly missed Harshal Patel in the last match against CSK. Patel is expected to feature in the playing XI against Delhi Capitals. They need Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli to start firing in the tournament if RCB wants any chance of qualifying for the playoffs. Dinesh Karthik and Shahbaz Ahmed have been phenomenal for them in IPL 2022, and Suyash Prabhudessai has emerged as a promising prospect in the middle overs.
Predicted Playing XIs:
DC: David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c/wk), Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed
