The 50th match of the Indian Premier League 2023 is scheduled to play between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday 6th May 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.

Royal Challengers Bangalore are a strong team and they also had been good in this edition of IPL but they had not been consistent. They had played a total of nine matches with five wins to their name. They had lost four matches and are holding the fifth position on the points table. Another win in this match can promote this team to the top four teams. They are going to host the worst performing team in this tournament. Delhi Capitals had totally failed to give the best performance in this edition. They had won just three out of nine matches played. They had lost six matches and are laying at the bottom of the points table. They can still reach in top four teams if they could manage to win almost all remaining matches.

Delhi Capitals are back on the winning track after having a very poor start to this season of IPL. It is very difficult for any team to recover after losing five matches consecutively and now they had won three out of the most recent four matches. They had beaten Kolkata Knight Riders, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Gujarat Titans and lost their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. They had already lost against the same team, Royal Challengers Bangalore but we think things are now very different this time. They won their match against Gujarat Titans where they were nowhere in the match. The batting order of this team totally failed to give the best performance and scored just 130 runs in 20 overs. The top and middle batting order of this team totally collapsed and their key five batsmen came back to the pavilion with a total of just 23 runs. Philip Salt and David Warner are opening the batting inning of this team with Priyam Garg, Rilee Rossouw, and Manish Pandey available to handle the batting order of Delhi Capitals but these all batsmen totally failed to give the best performance.

Axar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, and Ripal Patel were the batsmen who did a good job with the bat and put some runs on the board. Aman Hakim Khan was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 51 runs to his name on 44 balls with the help of three boundaries and the same huge sixes. Axar Patel scored 27 runs while Ripal Patel scored 23 runs on just 13 balls with the help of two boundaries and one huge six. The way how the bowling unit of Delhi Capitals performed in the previous match was just outstanding and this was their best bowling performance as they won the match even after having a low total on the board. They defended the target of 131 runs and leaked 125 runs in 20 overs. The bowling unit of Delhi Capitals is strong at least on paper and they are also back to good form. Khaleel Ahmed is leading the bowling unit of this team with Ishant Sharma, Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel, and these all bowlers performed well in their most recent match against Gujarat Titans. Ishant Sharma was the most successful bowler from their side with two wickets to his name in four overs against just 23 runs. Khaleel Ahmed also picked two wickets while he was charged with 24 runs in four overs. Anrich Nortje and Kuldeep Yadav picked one wicket each. It was interesting to see that Kuldeep Yadav leaked just 15 runs in four overs. Axar Patel was the only bowler from their side who failed to pick any wicket and leaked 24 runs in four overs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore had been outstanding in most recent matches and had won three out of the previous four matches played. They had beaten Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals, and Lucknow Super Giants in their most recent matches while they lost against Kolkata Knight Riders. They are coming to this match on the back of a massive win over Lucknow Super Giants with a margin of 18 runs. This was also a low-scoring match where won the toss and decided to bat first. This decision did not work for this team and they could manage to score just 126 runs in 20 overs even having a good opening start of 62 runs for the partnership of the first wicket. They lost the next nine wickets in a gap of just 64 runs. Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Dinesh Karthik were the batsmen who performed well and put some runs on the board. Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Suyash Prabhudessai, Mahipal Lomror, and Wanindu Hasaranga are part of the batting order of this team but they totally failed to give the best performance in the previous match. Faf du Plessis was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side with 44 runs to his name on 40 balls with the help of one boundary and the same huge six.

Virat Kohli is in good form these days and he also performed well in the previous match and scored 31 runs. He faced 30 balls and smashed three boundaries during his inning. Dinesh Karthik could manage to score 16 runs. The bowling unit of Royal Challengers Bangalore did a great job in this tournament and we also saw this in the previous match where they defended the target of 127 runs and send the full team of Lucknow Super Giants back to the pavilion on a total of 108 runs in 19.5 overs. They have one of the strongest bowling units of this edition of IPL and the bowlers like Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood, Glenn Maxwell, Wanindu Hasaranga, Karn Sharma, Harshal Patel, and Mahipal Lomror are part of the bowling squad of this team. Almost these all bowlers performed well in the previous match. Josh Hazlewood was the most successful bowler from their side with three wickets to his name in three overs against 15 runs. Karn Sharma also picked up two wickets while he was charged with 20 runs in four overs. Wanindu Hasaranga also had an outstanding performance with the ball and picked one wicket in four overs against just 20 runs. Harshal Patel was the other bowler who did a good job with the ball and picked one wicket in 3.5 overs while he was charged with 20 runs. Mohammed Siraj and Glenn Maxwell also picked one wicket each while Mahipal Lomror failed to pick any wicket. We don’t think that Royal Challengers Bangalore will make any change in the bowling squad for this match.

Delhi Capitals had faced Royal Challengers Bangalore in 29 matches where they won 10 matches while Royal Challengers Bangalore had won 19 matches against Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals had won three out of the previous five matches played so far while Royal Challengers Bangalore had also won three matches out of the previous five matches.

The toss is going to play an important in the result of each and every match of IPL 2023 as we had observed in the previous editions of this tournament. According to the toss prediction, the team who will win the toss will elect to field first as defending had been difficult in the most recent matches of IPL.

The 50th match of IPL T20, 2023 is going to be held at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium is known to be batsman-friendly, with generally flat and hard surfaces that provide good bounce and carry to the ball. However, the pitch can also assist spinners in the latter stages of the match. The boundary size at Arun Jaitley Stadium is relatively small, which makes it easier for batsmen to score boundaries and sixes.
