IPL MATCH PREDICTION: Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, match 27
The Delhi Capitals will face the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next match on April 16th at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The Rishabh Pant-led side is coming off a strong showing against the Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous match, with openers Prithvi Shaw and David Warner returning to their best form. Mitchell Marsh is expected to take over for Rowman Powell whenever he returns, while Anrich Nortje may be sidelined for a few more games until he is fully recovered.
The Royal Challengers Bangalore faced the Chennai Super Kings in a tight match, as Harshal Patel's absence was felt hard. When he becomes available, he will join the starting XI. Meanwhile, Faf du Plessis may be concerned with Akash Deep's final few overs against CSK, since he gave a lot of runs. RCB can bring in Siddarth Kaul, who has expertise in death overs and could be useful until Harshal recovers.

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 27th match of IPL 2022
Date & time: 16th April, 2022, 7:30PM IST
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Pitch report
In the games so far, the Wankhede Stadium has aided the bowlers tremendously and has been a low-scoring pitch in comparison to the others. Rajasthan Royals defended a score of 165 against Lucknow Super Giants in the last game at the same venue, so the toss may not be a major influence. However, due to the possibility of dew later in the evening, the captain who wins the toss is expected to bowl first.
