RCB started the 2023 season with a bang, defeating Mumbai Indians by eight wickets at their home ground. However, they suffered an 81-run defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders in their next game, followed by a narrow loss at the hands of Lucknow Super Giants. Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell scored brilliant half-centuries to help Bangalore score 212/2 while batting first, but in the end, the opponents chased down the target off the last ball of the match. RCB are now placed in the seventh position with a win and two defeats. Star all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga, last season’s leading wicket-taker for RCB, has arrived in India and is available for selection. David Willey may have to make way for Hasaranga in the playing XI.
Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, suffered their fourth straight defeat after losing against Mumbai Indians in their last game in a last-ball thriller. Delhi scored 172 runs while batting first with skipper David Warner scoring his third fifty in four games and Axar Patel registering his maiden IPL half-century. But they were unable to defend the target. Khaleel Ahmed, who missed the previous game due to injury, is expected to return to the playing XI.
