Delhi Capitals Preview: Icing the chase
Delhi Capitals held their nerve in what was a tension filled run chase against Mumbai Indians, losing regular wickets but managing to get over the line in the end. Needing 165 to win after a strong bowling performance, Delhi got the job done with just two wickets to spare in the final over, despite no player recording a half-century.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview: Champions flex their muscle
Royal Challengers Bengaluru looked like they were going to lose out in their opening game after being reduced to 14/2 early on when chasing a mammoth 202 to win against Gujarat Giants. However, a magnificent batting performance from then on, including a blistering unbroken partnership between Richa Ghosh and Kanika Ahuja saw RCB home with nine balls remaining.
Delhi Capitals Betting Analysis
Mumbai Indians had no answer to Shikha Pandey’s bowling for Delhi Capitals this past weekend, scoring just 14 runs from her four overs. Pandey also picked up two wickets and will be expected to prove just as valuable this time around. Therefore, utilise the ‘Bowler Milestones’ market and back Pandey to take 2+ wickets once again.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Betting Analysis
Royal Challengers Bengaluru owed a great deal to Richa Ghosh’s fireworks for their win over Gujarat. Ghosh struck four sixes in her knock of 64 not out from just 27 balls. With a proven ability to clear boundary and a license to free her arms the moment she gets to the crease as a middle order player. It’s well worth backing Ghosh to hit over 0.5 match sixes here.
Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Expert Prediction
Delhi Capitals deserve huge credit for how they managed to hold their nerve under pressure and get over the line vs a very impressive Mumbai Indians side. However, they may not be able to match the volume of runs Royal Challengers Bengaluru are capable of over the course of 20 overs and after seeing how impressive they looked with the bat last time out, backing RCB has to be favoured here.
