DC vs RCB prediction
- Result prediction: RCB to win
Holding the equal-lowest points total (6) and worst net run rate (-0.768) as it stands, it's fair to say it's been a tough 2023 for DC. However, after winning three of their last four games, their confidence is back on the way up.
Their upcoming match against RCB will be a stern test though.
Royal Challengers have been solid this season without setting the tournament alight, but are far less boom-or-bust than their opponents.
Notably, they lead the league in half-centuries (13), highlighting the ability of their players to step up and put in big performances.
Recent form may be on DC's side, but we think RCB will flex their muscles away from home.
DC vs RCB best bet
- Pick: Phil Salt over 18.5 runs
- Odds: 1.87 (Dafabet)
Dismissed for a golden duck in his last match, the only way is up for Salt, right?
With just four games under his belt this season, Salt is still finding his footing. He displayed his ability against SRH though, smashing 59 runs in his side's narrow loss.
We believe that his run total line is very achievable for an opening batsman and could be worth a bet.
DC vs RCB outside bet
- Pick: Glenn Maxwell to score 50
- Odds: 4.00 (Dafabet)
Maxwell is known for his explosive batting style, making him a valuable T20 asset.
Whilst his aggressive style can get him in some early trouble, when the Australian is on, he's on!
He has already scored three half-centuries this campaign and we feel another one could be on the way.
At 4.00, there is certainly some value here.
