Match Prediction: Who Holds the Edge?
Considering recent form, head-to-head records, and home advantage, RCB appears to have a slight edge in this contest. The Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis pairing is in excellent form, while Siraj and Toply have been effective in the bowling department. However, Delhi is brimming with confidence after three consecutive victories and, under Rishabh Pant's captaincy, poses a significant challenge to any team. The spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel could be game-changers on this pitch.
