RCB vs DC, Dubai Weather, Rain Forecast and Pitch Report: Here’s How Weather Will Behave for Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Capitals IPL 2021 Clash at Dubai International Stadium
Bangalore are heading into this game on the back of a narrow loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad and they would aim to regain their momentum ahead of the playoffs with a strong performance against Delhi Capitals. Rishabh Pant's side however, would not be easy opponents to defeat as they are in very good form.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) would lock horns with Delhi Capitals (DC) in match 56 of the Indian Premier League on Friday, October 8. The match would be played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai and is scheduled to start at 7:30 pm IST (Indian Standard Time). Both sides have already qualified for the playoffs so that is something that would not worry either of them. What would be of RCB's concern is the fact that have lost their momentum with a four-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last match. Delhi have already ensured a top-two spot and following Chennai Super Kings's loss to Punjab Kings earlier on Thursday, October 7, a win for Bangalore, with a huge margin could propel them to the top-two.

That seems a bit unlikely since RCB's net run-rate is on the negative side (-0.159) as compared to CSK's, which is (+0.455). Delhi, with another win, could feel mighty confident of their chances of winning a maiden title this year as the IPL heads into the playoffs.
