RCB vs DC, IPL 2023: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast, and live streaming details

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will square off against the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 20th match of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host this clash.

Royal Challengers Bangalore made a winning start to the competition but lost their way a bit thereafter. They suffered a defeat in their next two games and have only two points under their belt so far.

They went down against the Lucknow Super Giants in their previous fixture. After being asked to bat first, fifties from Virat Kohli (61), Faf du Plessis (79*) and Glenn Maxwell (59) helped RCB post a mammoth 212 on the board. Mohammed Siraj and Wayne Parnell picked up three wickets and the game went down to the last ball. However, RCB failed to hold their nerves as they lost the game by one wicket.

Delhi Capitals, meanwhile, are struggling in this year’s competition. They have played four games so far and are yet to win any.

They lost to the Mumbai Indians in their last game. On the back of fifties from skipper David Warner (51) and Axar Patel (54), the Capitals managed to score 172 in 20 overs. Defending it, the bowlers picked up four wickets but the Mumbai Indians managed to get home on the last ball.
