IPL 2022: Battle of two mid-table teams: sixth-placed Royal Challengers Bangalore will clash with seventh-placed Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday evening.
RCB were thrashed by CSK by 23 runs breaking their three-match winning streak after they had lost their first match. Faf du Plessis’ side would want to bounce back with to victory. DC have won two and lost two; they are, on the other hand, coming off a confidence-boosting 44-run triumph over KKR.
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
The Wankhede Stadium has been the most bowling friendly of the three grounds in Mumbai in the IPL 2022 so far. Pacers and leg-spinners have enjoyed the conditions and pitch on offer. Par scores have been made here, chased down most of the time as dew makes batting easier in the second innings.
Royal Challengers Bangalore:
RCB missed Harshal Patel very much as CSK batters plundered big runs in the death. The seamer is expected to be out of quarantine and slot in straight in the eleven – for Akash Deep.
RCB predicted XI: Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, Suyash Prabhudessai, Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, Mohammed Siraj
Delhi Capitals:
The Capitals are given another boost as all-rounder Mitchell Marsh started his net session after recovering from an injury. Should he be declared fit, the Aussie all-rounder will replace the out of form Rovman Powell. There is no news about the fitness of Anrich Nortje who didn’t play in the last game after featuring in the one before that.
DC predicted XI: Prithvi Shaw, David Warner, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Mitchell Marsh (if fit)/Rovman Powell, Sarfaraz Khan, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed
