Having lost their first match against Punjab Kings, Faf du Plessis-led Bangalore bounced back perfectly to win the next 3 but lost the momentum in the previous match vs Chennai Super Kings. Virat Kohli is out of form as he has scored 107 runs in 5 matches. However, Anuj Rawat impressed the fans in the match vs Mumbai Indians when he scored 66 off 47. Dinesh Karthik, Shahbaz Ahmed and Glenn Maxwell are playing their role brilliantly and the team has found a positive in the form of last match debutant Suyash Prabhudessai. In the absence of Harshal Patel, Mohammad Siraj will have to take responsibility. With Josh Hazelwood, Wanindu Hasaranga and Akash Deep, the bowling unit looks impressive.

Rishabh Pant-led Delhi have won their previous match and would look to continue the momentum. In the previous match vs KKR, Prithvi Shaw & David Warner scored half centuries and Kuldeep and Khaleel took 4 & 3 wickets respectively. The team has power hitters in form of Rovman Powell and Lalit Yadav.
