The Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Delhi Capitals both ended their 2023 IPL campaigns with defeats.
After losing two games in a row in the IPL 2023, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will play against Delhi Capitals (DC) in their next match. Notably, the team led by David Warner hasn’t won a single game so far this season, and things don’t look good for them right now. The captain is leading by example, but his strike rate has been a big problem, and the middle-order hitters haven’t shown up yet. The bowlers have done well so far, but they can still do better. The way Axar Patel is playing will definitely help them in their next game.
When it comes to the host, Bangalore’s last match against Lucknow was a heartbreaking loss. Their bowling in the middle overs has looked really bad, and Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis had no problem hitting for fun. That is something that the team’s leaders need to take care of right away. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis are both doing great with the bat right now, and Glenn Maxwell showed his class in the last game. There are some good things, but a lot of problems need to be fixed.

RCB vs DC Probable Best Performers
Probable best batter
Faf du Plessis:
During this event, Faf du Plessis has been a great captain. So far, the 38-year-old has hit 175 runs at a strike rate of 173.26 in three games. He can get runs quickly in the middle overs, which is a huge plus for RCB.
Probable best bowler
Anrich Nortje:
Anrich Nortje, the fast pacer, has taken two wickets in three games so far. Now, in Chinnaswamy, where pacers are frequently blasted, Nortje may be lethal with the ball because he can generate extra pace and bounce to worry batters.
