Shikhar Dhawan continues to lead the way with the bat for Delhi Capitals. He has racked up 259 runs in only 5 innings and remains at the top of the IPL 2021 runs list. Prithvi Shaw (166) and Rishabh Pant (125) have also contributed valuable runs with Steve Smith averaging a useful 38 from his 3 innings so far. With the ball, Avesh Khan has 11 wickets at a cost of 12.45.
Glenn Maxwell has been the star batsman for RCB, even in their heavy defeat to CSK, he was only outscored by Devdutt Padikkal at the top of the order. Alongside Maxwell and Padikkal, RCB also have Virat Kohli (151) and AB de Villiers (129) who have 100+ runs to their name. Harshal Patel remains the leading wicket taker in the competition, in spite of being taken for 37 in the final over against CSK by Ravindra Jadeja.
Delhi’s Prithvi Shaw has the fourth highest strike-rate in the tournament at 159.61. RCB’s Mohammed Siraj has bowled the most dot balls in the competition, he has sent down 62 dots and has an economy rate of 6.47.

DC vs RCB T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2021
We have a top-of-the-table clash on Tuesday as Delhi Capitals take on Royal Challengers Bangalore, both sides in the knowledge that whoever wins will take over the lead from Chennai Super Kings. So far, Bangalore and Delhi have both won four and lost only one game in this year’s IPL. RCB lost their first game of the season to CSK on Sunday, the same day that Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad courtesy of the first Super Over in this year’s IPL. The game will get underway at 19:30 local time and will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Winning tight games is an excellent skill and they don’t come any closer than in a Super Over. Rishabh Pant’s side will be delighted that they saw off Sunrisers Hyderabad in such fashion, it also gave Pant and Shikhar Dhawan even more time in the middle.
Every winning run must come to an end and so it proved for RCB after opening the campaign with four successive victories. How you bounce back from the first failure is crucial and under Virat Kohli’s leadership, they have the master of this skill. Against England earlier this year, whenever India lost any game, they won the following match.

DC Team News & Playing 11
DC Team News
Ravi Ashwin has pulled out of IPL 2021 to attend to his family. Rishabh Pant’s side made only one change ahead of their game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Lalit Yadav was unfortunate to be left out and his replacement Axar Patel was entrusted with bowling the Super Over. Lalit Yadav can make a comeback in this game after being left out against Hyderabad.
DC Key Players
Shikhar Dhawan - the leading run-scorer in the tournament but with an element of control in everything he does. He has only hit 5 sixes but no one else is anywhere near his 32 fours.
Rishabh Pant - the swagger and the self-confidence seem to grow with every game. After backing himself to bat in the Super Over he then brushed Dhawan aside to face the first ball for Delhi. He is a star.
Axar Patel - the left-arm spinner took 2 wickets in his first IPL game of the year before being thrown the ball for the Super Over. He’ll be looking forward to returning to Ahmedabad where he took 27 wickets against England earlier in the year at an average of 10.59 during the Test series.
DC Team Form
Although not at their best against Sunrisers Hyderabad, they still got over the line. Only one blip against Rajasthan Royals so far, they look like a very strong outfit in this IPL 2021.
DC Predicted Playing 11
Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Steve Smith, Rishabh Pant (c) (wk), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Lalit Yadav, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan
DC vs RCB Dream11 Team Prediction, Captain, Vice Captain
Wicket-keeper
Rishabh Pant (9.5) will be our wicket-keeper. He showed real leadership in facing the first ball of the Super Over and his year continues to go from strength to strength.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli (10.5), Shikhar Dhawan (10.5), Glenn Maxwell (9.5), Devdutt Padikkal (9) and Prithvi Shaw (8.5) are our batsmen. Shaw top scored in the win against Sunrisers and he will be raring to go again.
All-rounders
Washington Sundar (8) will be our all-rounder. He batted at number 3 in their defeat against CSK so you can expect him to get more opportunities up the order.
Bowlers
Harshal Patel (9), Kyle Jamieson (8.5), Mohammed Siraj (8.5) and Avesh Khan (8.5) make up our bowling attack. We are backing Patel to show his quality and bounce back from the last over nightmare against CSK.
Captain/Vice-captain
Shikhar Dhawan will be captain, Rishabh Pant his deputy
Bowler:Harshal Patel, Kyle Jamieson, Mohammed Siraj, Avesh Khan
DC vs RCB Match Prediction
RCB Team News & Playing 11
RCB Team News
RCB made two changes ahead of their defeat to CSK with Kane Richardson and Shahbaz Ahmed missing out in favour of Dan Christian and Navdeep Saini. Will the surface in Ahmedabad mean Virat needs to shake up his selection again?
RCB Key Players
Virat Kohli - he will have been stung by the size of defeat his side endured against Chennai and will want to personally make amends for it in this game. Expect a sizable score from the captain.
Glenn Maxwell - his lowest score of the season was still large enough to be RCB’s second highest of their innings against CSK. Maxwell is having a fine IPL with the bat and is an integral part of the batting line-up.
Harshal Patel - being hit for 37 from an over is hard to take but RCB need their main man with the ball to respond immediately. An early wicket and all will be forgotten.
RCB Team Form
Four successive wins followed by a heavy defeat. Kohli’s men will be keen to show the loss was just a one-off and have the rest of the tournament fearing them again soon.
RCB Predicted Playing 11
Virat Kohli (c) , Devdutt Padikkal, Glenn Maxwell, AB de Villiers (wk), Washington Sundar, Dan Christian Kyle Jamieson, Harshal Patel, Navdeep Saini, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

DC vs RCB Betting Odds
It is very close but Delhi Capitals are marginal favourites coming into this game
Who will win DC vs RCB IPL T20 Match?
Unsurprisingly, openers Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohlil have the weight of expectation on them once again
We are backing Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw with the bat for Delhi Capitals. Shaw has gone under the radar so far but is in the top 10 run makers in the tournament.
For RCB we are backing Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal and Glenn Maxwell. Padikkal is in fine form and has top scored in their last two games.
We are backing Kagiso Rabada, Avesh Khan and Axar Patel to cause the most problems for the RCB batsmen. Patel in particular will be relishing his return to the Narendra Modi Stadium.
For RCB we have gone with Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj and Yuzvendra Chaha. All eyes will be on Patel but Siraj has been the most economical this season.
After RCB faced CSK on Sunday, we are served up another top of the table clash only a couple of days later. It is almost too close to call with both teams in sparkling form this season and overflowing with players at the top of their game. We are backing RCB to win a tight affair in Ahmedabad.

Virat Kohli will be looking to make a change in playing X1 after losing to CSK in their last encounter. Navdeep Saini didn't make any impact on return and he could make way for Shahbaz Ahmed who was made to sit out of their last match.
12:13 pm | 27-04-2021
AB de Villiers, Shikhar Dhawan, and Prithvi Shaw close in on milestones
DC opener Prithvi Shaw needs 8 more runs to complete 1000 runs in IPL. AB de Villiers needs 22 more runs to complete 5000 IPL runs. He will be the second overseas player after David Warner to reach this milestone and also the sixth player overall to achieve the feat. DC opener Shikhar Dhawan is 44 runs away from 5500 runs in IPL and overtakes Suresh Raina (5472 runs) to second in the top run-scorers list in IPL.
10:00 am | 27-04-2021
RCB will look to Bounce Back against DC
RCB suffered the first defeat of the tournament in their last match against CSK. Their top order collapsed after a good start by Padikkal. They will look to win this match and claim the top spot. Delhi Capitals also has been a very good team and it will be a great match with two teams fighting for the top spot.
