RCB have a superior record over DC having won 20 of the 32 IPL clashes between them. For DC vs RCB Head-To-Head record and other Head-To-Head records, click here.
DC are on a hot streak, having won six of their last eight matches. They are going on great runs. It is going to be a tough fight, as RCB, too, is in stellar form. Given that DC are playing at home, they certainly start as favourites.
Virat Kohli is in scintillating form, scoring 392 runs in nine games and hence he would be the best batter of the game.
Josh Hazlewood has picked up 16 wickets in nine games, sitting in the second spot in the race to the Purple Cup. Thus, he would most likely be the best bowler.
In the first two games at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the 200-run barrier has already been breached once, clearly demonstrating that it is not the road it used to be.
The humidity is expected to be about 17-35%, while the temperature will be about 27-33 degrees during the match. There is absolutely no chance of rain throughout the match.
