At the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, the much-awaited clash between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) is all set to take place in the 50th match of the TATA IPL 2023.
In their last match against Gujarat Titans, DC managed to defend a modest total of 130 runs, thanks to some exceptional bowling performances from their pacers.

With five victories from nine matches, RCB is currently at the fifth spot in the points table with ten points. They will be eyeing a victory in this match to move up the rankings and secure a spot in the playoffs.
Overall, this match promises to be an exciting contest between two well-matched teams.
