After losing the first four games, Delhi Capitals (DC) will travel to Bengaluru on April 15, 2023, to face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match number 20 of the IPL 2023 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
The Delhi Capitals’ success over the past few years has been remarkably constant. They qualified for the playoffs in 2019 and 2021 and finished second in the IPL 2020.
While Royal Challengers Bangalore has had a quality team over the years, they have yet to win an IPL championship. They performed well in the last three seasons of the IPL, making the playoffs each time.
RCB and DC last competed against one another in Mumbai during the 27th game of the IPL 2022 season. Maxwell’s and Dinesh Karthick’s knocks enabled RCB to reach 189/5 in 20 overs during their first innings. Attempting to chase down the target of 189 runs, the Australian opener David Warner scored 66 runs, and the skipper Rishabh Pant added 34 runs. Ultimately, Delhi Capitals fell short by 16 runs. Check complete details on RCB vs DC head-to-head records.

Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals will enter the match having lost four straight games in the competition. Delhi’s locker room would be extremely concerned about the results in both departments. The two players who have contributed the most with the bat so far are Axar Patel and David Warner.
