Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will face each other for the first time in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Both teams have two matches left in the league stage, which they need to win if they want to make it to the playoffs. DC certainly have the edge in the table with 12 points, but the upcoming match is crucial.
RCB are currently seventh in the standings with 10 points, but with four wins on the trot, they come as a spirited unit. A win against DC would bolster their chances of qualification, but they still need a lot to fall into place. Their latest win against Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 60 runs saw their net run rate rise to +0.217.
On the other hand, fifth-placed Delhi won their last match by 20 runs against the dominant Rajasthan Royals (RR), but their net run rate is still in negative (-0.316). Apart from winning the remaining matches, the 2020 finalists also need to focus on their NRR to secure their place in the last four.
