DC vs RCB Probable Winners:

It will be an exciting contest because both teams are confident going into it. The Delhi Capitals have performed well this season, but they have a poor record against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. The bowling attack must produce results for the team to win. The Royal Challengers have in-form batsmen and a more balanced bowling attack. It will be a close match, but RCB will have a slight advantage. Considering the team combination, Delhi Capitals is expected to win this match.
