RCB vs DC Match Prediction - Oct 08, 2021

The final match of the Indian Premier League is going to be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi capitals. In a lot of ways, this match is a dead rubber because the outcome of this game is not going to change anything for either team.

Delhi Capitals have already qualified in the top 2 and will get two chances to make it to the IPL 2021 Final. For the Royal Challengers Bangalore, a defeat in the previous match to the Sunrisers Hyderabad has all but ended their chances of qualifying in the top 2.

From a betting perspective, this match is a tricky one. we could see a lot of changes in both teams as they may try to rest some of their players before the playoffs. This adds uncertainty and variability to the outcomes possible.

RCB vs DC Team Previews

Royal Challengers Bangalore

A very poor batting effort from RCB caused it to lose against SRH in the previous match that it played. That was a shock defeat and shows the kind of variability in performance that RCB has shown in IPL 2021.

The fact is that RCB has struggled to get the most out of its batting lineup even after having so many resources at its disposal. Glenn Maxwell and Devdutt Padikkal are the only real batsmen that have shown some kind of form.

We expect AB de Villiers to be promoted in this match to give him some time in the middle as well. Glenn Maxwell looks like a good bet for the top batsman and Virat Kohli has an excellent record against DC too. Look for betting markets for both of them.

Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel are the leading bowlers for RCB and will pose the biggest threat to DC. Could there be a case for resting your best bowlers to not allow a future playoff competitor a chance to face them earlier?

Keep an eye on the playing eleven as that may have some surprises.

Delhi Capitals

DC has been very consistent in IPL 2021 so far and it also may look to rest some players and give some of its bench a chance. We are not fans of DC playing just three overseas players as that upsets its balance and does not maximize the potential of the team.

Still, with Shikar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw, and Rishab Pant in the top-order, DC can afford to tinker with its batting lineup a little. In terms of batting strength, DC may not have the brilliance and genius that RCB does but it still has a lot of consistency.

DC’s bowling attack is top-notch but this is where we expect a few changes. Amit Mishra could come into the side and some of the fast bowlers could be rested as well.

RCB vs DC Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to field first. The threat of dew seems to worry teams more than the pitch slowing down and so the captain that wins the toss is likely to chase.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Dubai are better for batting than in Abu Dhabi or Sharjah. The side that chases should be seen as having a big advantage. The previous five matches in Dubai have been won by the team that has chased.

A score of around 150 seems to be par for the venue
