Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals Prediction: Challengers to keep their run going

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals will meet at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in an IPL encounter. Both teams head into this game following a win. How will this game end?

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are coming off a run of wins, and the home side will look to keep that fit. Last time out against Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru secured an 181-241 win on the road, sending them 7th in the standings. However, the prior games to that win saw this side defeat Gujarat Titans in consecutive games, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. In the meantime, it is worth noting that Royal Challengers Bengaluru lost their first eight games of the season before those wins, and in this one, they will now have their hopes high to make history.

Delhi Capitals returned to winning ways against Rajasthan Royals in their last game that ended 221-201. However, the prior game to that win saw this side lose to Kolkata Knight Raiders in a game that ended 157-153 and Sunrisers Hyderabad, 199-266. In the meantime, Delhi Capitals were able to pick wins against Gujarat Titans, Mumbai Indians, and Lucknow Super Giants. This season in the Indian Premier League standings, Delhi Capitals have accumulated 12 points from 12 matches, positioning them 5th in the standings.

The two teams have had issues this season but have had some good performances in recent weeks. However, the odds lean towards the hosts in this one, and at home, they will have good confidence following a run of wins. In the meantime, Delhi Capitals are a tough team to discredit, and the fact they won the last game of this fixture is a testament to this. Regardless, this game is expected to end with a few innings, while the hosts are expected to win, thanks to the advantage of the venue.
