DC vs RCB: Match Preview:

Delhi Capitals had a terrific outing with the bat in the last game. However, Rovman Powell hasn't been as impactful as one expected from him. If Mitchell Marsh is available for this game, Powell might miss out today. Prithvi Shaw and David Warner are key batters for DC. 

The bowling department has done decently well so far this season. Kuldeep Yadav's return to form has been a massive boost. If Kuldeep continues his good run in this game, he might turn the game in his four overs. Anrich Nortje is unlikely to play this game as well. 

RCB's batting has been inconsistent. No batter, apart from Dinesh Karthik, has been able to dominate the opposition consistently. The top-order, especially Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, need to put on a show at the start. Suyash Prabhudessai will be the player to watch out for. 

Bowling will be boosted if Harshal Patel returns tonight. Akash deep might have to sit out as this might be RCB's best possible playing XI of the season with du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Josh Hazlewood as overseas players.
