On the back of KL Rahul’s gobsmacking 152, DC scored their highest ever total of 264 against Punjab Kings in their previous game at the same venue.

Delhi’s biggest worry has been their bowling line-up. While they have star bowlers like Lungi Ngidi, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel, the side has allowed teams to score above 210 on four occasions in their last five games. Adding to Delhi’s concerns is Ngidi’s injury, as he fell on his neck and head while attempting a catch at mid-off during the last game. RCB, meanwhile, march positively towards defending their title. The Rajat Patidar-led side has won five of their seven games this season and sit second in the points table. RCB will also be eyeing to avenge their first-leg loss to Delhi, where the Axar Patel-led DC had beaten them comfortably at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

A 15-year-old opener, Rajasthan Royals’ Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, with a bat swing to die for, has been the flavour of the season. 24-year-old Priyansh Arya, playing for Punjab Kings at the top of the order, has received high praise, and rightly so. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s Abhishek Sharma’s expanding wagon-wheel arch has made life difficult for bowlers. There’s no stopping Sanju Samson in Chennai Super Kings’ canary yellow when he gets going.
