RCB vs DC T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2023
Match 20 of the 2023 Indian Premier League brings Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals together on Saturday afternoon in Bengaluru. Royal Challengers Bangalore have won only one of their first three games in the tournament with Delhi Capitals falling to four successive defeats. Read on as we preview the game. This match gets underway at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium 15:30 local time.
Royal Challengers Bangalore thought they had done more than enough when they posted 212-2 against Lucknow Super Giants but still lost their last match. Their batters should be capable of doing enough in this game.
Delhi Capitals took Mumbai Indians to the final ball of their last game and could have forced a Super Over with a more accurate throw. However, this will be a much tougher fixture for them.

RCB Team News & Playing 11
RCB Team News
South African left-arm bowling all-rounder Wayne Parnell came into the Royal Challengers Bangalore side for his first IPL appearance since 2014 against Lucknow Super Giants and did very well. We expect Parnell to keep his place in an unchanged XI.
RCB Key Players
- Virat Kohli - Although his strike-rate took a slight dip in the last game, he is scoring his runs quicker than usual in this IPL 2023 and hit eight boundaries in Monday’s match.
- Faf du Plessis - The South African opener and skipper hit 79 not out from 46 balls in the last game, his second score of 70+ in three innings in the 2023 IPL.
- Mohammed Siraj - The Indian international right-arm quick bowler dismissed both openers, Kyle Mayers and KL Rahul, against Lucknow Super Giants.
RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Sonu Yadav, Michael Bracewell, Akash Deep, Karn Sharma, Suyash Prabhudessai
New Zealander Michael Bracewell can bowl useful spin as well as being a very hard-hitting batter. Deep has best IPL figures of 3-45 and is a strong bowling option.
RCB Team Form
Although Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost their last two games, they really should have won their last match after losing only two wickets with the bat.

DC Team News & Playing 11
DC Team News
David Warner announced two changes to his side ahead of the defeat to Mumbai Indians on Tuesday with Rilee Rossouw and Khaleel Ahmed left out in place of debutant Yash Dhull and Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman. After taking the game to the last ball, we expect them to select the same XI in this game.
DC Key Players
- David Warner - The skipper has already hit three half-centuries in the 2023 IPL and, although his strike-rate has not been overly impressive, he is making consistent runs at the top of the order.
- Axar Patel - the all-rounder used to be thought of as a bowler who could bat but his batting has developed to a very high level over the last 12 months. He hit 54 runs from 25 balls against Mumbai Indians.
- Anrich Nortje - The South African pace bowler has gone 10 overs without taking a wicket but continues to bowl accurately and will certainly get his rewards sooner rather than later.
DC Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Aman Khan, Mukesh Kumar, Sarfaraz Khan, Praveen Dubey, Ishant Sharma
Right-arm medium pacer Mukesh Kumar had an impact in the last game coming in for the fielding innings and taking two wickets. Sarfaraz Khan has hit three T20 half-centuries and is a fine striker of the ball.
DC Team Form
With four defeats in this year’s IPL already and having lost their final game in 2022, Delhi Capitals are looking to avoid their sixth successive IPL loss.
DC Predicted Playing 11
David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Manish Pandey, Yash Dhull, Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Abishek Porel (wk), Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mustafizur Rahman

🏆 RCB vs DC Prediction
With Delhi Capitals losing all their matches and Royal Challengers Bangalore beaten in their last two games, this fixture is incredibly important for both teams. Delhi Capitals came within one ball of beating Mumbai Indians but they have been unable to score runs at a quick enough rate throughout their team. We think that Royal Challengers Bangalore have the batting firepower to win and are backing them to get the victory in this game.
