Despite their middling positions on the points table, both Delhi Capitals and RCB have shown remarkable recent form, with Delhi winning three of their last four games and RCB securing four consecutive victories. Delhi’s resurgence, led by Jake Fraser-McGurk’s record-breaking performances and contributions from Rishabh Pant and Abishek Porel, has strengthened their batting order and boosted their bowlers’ impact. Similarly, RCB’s batting revolution, featuring Will Jacks and a reinvented Virat Kohli, along with effective cameos from the lower order, has made their lineup formidable. However, Delhi will be challenged by Pant’s suspension, with Axar Patel set to lead in his absence. Rain could dampen the high stakes of the match, potentially complicating the playoff race, with Delhi having a chance in case of a washout, while RCB would face elimination.
