Overview:
Cricket fanatics are getting geared up for seeing two epic and intensifying encounters on Saturday. The second game of the day will be played between the teams of Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
We know that both these teams possess a well-balanced squad and this would be a match to check out.
When we talk about the Delhi Capitals campaign in the ongoing edition, it has been a sort of a mixed bag. Even though they have had to part ways with their core players like Kagiso Rabada, Shreyas Iyer and Avesh Khan, they have tried to create the best squad post the 2022 auctions. With the in-form players like Kuldeep Yadav, David Warner, Prithvi Shaw and the team's captain, Rishabh Pant, we can expect the team to fight every game real hard. Mitchell Marsh's return would further boost this side allowing them to finally play their best XI. Currently, the Capitals have played four matches and have won two of them as they stand 8th in the points table.
Coming to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, the team does possess a well-balanced squad consisting of young and experienced players. Players like Wanindu Hasaranga, Anuj Rawat and of course, the vintage finisher of the game, Dinesh Karthik. Currently, RCB has played five matches and have won three of them as they stand 6th in the points table.
DC's Predicted XI:
David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c/wk), Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Mustafizur Rahman, Khaleel Ahmed
RCB's Predicted XI:
Faf du Plessis, Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Shahbaz Ahmed, Glenn Maxwell, Suyash Prabhudesai, Dinesh Karthik, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Mohammad Siraj, Josh Hazlewood

Venue & Pitch Report: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
This track mainly favours the bowlers, to be precise. But, with the dew factor, it might be a plus point for the team batting second. To conclude, it would be a healthy competition between the bat and ball on this Wankhede track.
