RCB vs DC Key players

Glenn Maxwell— Royal Challengers Bangalore

Glenn Maxwell is managing the second leg of the IPL with his extraordinary batting shows. The Aussie batting all-rounder has totaled 224 runs in the last 6 events at an average of 44.8, which covers 3 half-centuries. Maxwell has broken in with 3 wickets as well.

Devdutt Padikkal— Royal Challengers Bangalore

Devdutt Padikkal played an amazing inning in the last match against SRH. He grappled to get his timing going and batted at a comparatively lower strike rate. However, one innings can’t define the winner batter that Padikkal is. that is the reason to keep eye on him.

Team News

Royal Challengers Bangalore

• The fact is that RCB has strived to get the most out of its batting lineup even after having so many sources at its end. Glenn Maxwell and Devdutt Padikkal are the only genuine batsmen that have presented some kind of form.
• We suppose AB de Villiers to be served in this match to give him some time in the middle order as well. Glenn Maxwell looks like a safe bet for the top batsman and Virat Kohli has an outstanding record next DC too.

Delhi Capitals

• Delhi Capitals have previously passed in the top 2 and will get two opportunities to make it to the IPL 2021 Final. For the Royal Challengers Bangalore, a failure in the previous match to the Sunrisers Hyderabad has all but finished their chances of qualifying in the top 2.
• From a betting view, this match is a complex one. we could see a lot of variations in both teams as they may try to rest some of their players before the playoffs. This adds unpredictability and variability to the results possible.
