The 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is currently underway and we are already┬аnearing the end of the group phase. The points table is looking close with every team having a chance to qualify for the IPL 2023 playoffs.┬а┬аin the 50th match of the tournament,┬аDelhi Capitals┬аwill be facing┬аRoyal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday, May 6. The┬аmatch will┬аstart at 7:30 pm IST (Indian Standard Time) at┬аArun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. RCB registered a comfortable victory when the last time these two teams met in Bengaluru. Virat Kohli scored a half-century for Bangalore while Vijaykumar Vyshak took three wickets. Manish Pandey tried his best and hit a half-century for DC but that was not enough to get the win. As the two teams will meet again in IPL 2023 let's take a look at the┬аlikely playing XIs, key battles, head-to-head and details of this match.┬аPlaying Under MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli in IPL?

Delhi Capitals stunned Gujarat Titans in their previous match by defending a small total of 130. However, they are still at the bottom of the IPL 2023 table┬аwith six points from 9 matches and the RCB game will be another do-or-die match for them. Aman Hakim Khan played one of the best innings of this season and will look to build on this. David Warner started brilliantly but has not fired in the last few matches. He along with Phil Salt will have to give DC a good start. The bowling department meanwhile will be depending on Anrich Nortje and Axar Patel.

Opponent Royal Challengers Bangalore are in fifth place with ten points from nine matches. They defended only 126 in their last match against Lucknow Super Giants. Even on a slow pitch, Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis gave RCB a very good start. Bangalore's batting will be once again heavily dependent on this duo. Glenn Maxwell has struggled with a bit of consistency this season. He will have to find his form back to give RCB's middle order a much-needed boost. Josh Hazlewood's return to the team in the last match was a big positive for RCB. He along with Mohammed Siraj will be leading RCB's bowling department.
