Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) cannot afford to lose points against Delhi Capitals (DC) on May 6 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium if they are to qualify for the IPL playoffs. Notably, the capitals are now ranked last in the IPL 2023 Points Table, while RCB are ranked fifth. The Faf du Plessis-led side upset Lucknow Super Giants by 18 runs in their previous match and will be looking to maintain the momentum. To accomplish this, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis will have to bat again.
Delhi, on the other hand, overcame the table-topping Gujarat Titans in their last match, but there are still many areas in which the David Warner-led side has to improve. Especially their batting, which has struggled in Rishabh Pant’s absence. Phil Salt, Rilee Rossouw, Manish Pandey, Priyam Garg, and Sarfaraz Khan, among many others, have been very terrible this season, despite doing a fantastic job with the ball. Anrich Nortje and Axar Patel have been excellent, as has veteran pacer Ishant Sharma.
