Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Delhi Capitals in their fifth match of IPL 2020 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai tonight.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a good start of their campaign as they have registered three wins in the first four matches and now will look to continue the winning momentum. Captain Virat Kohli with 72* runs knock against Royals in the last match, is back in the form and the likes of Devdutt Padikkal, AB de Villiers, Aaron Finch, and Shivam Dube too have done well so their batting line up is among runs and in bowling Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar and Navdeep Saini are doing their job but they still need to work on their death overs bowling.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals too have had a great start as they also have three wins from four matches and are looking much better side than Bangalore. Their openers and middle-order batsmen are in fine form and in the bowling, they have good depth and the duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have been excellent with the new and old ball.
And once again they will be the key and in spin, Amit Mishra did a good job in Ashwin's absence and now Ashwin is also back and this pair will look to trouble Bangalore's batsmen.
