Toss prediction

Therefore, the team winning the toss may opt to bowl first to take advantage of the spin-friendly conditions and try to restrict their opponents to a low score.
Win probability
Both DC and RCB have talented players and are capable of winning this match. However, given their recent form and their stronger position in the points table, RCB may have a slightly higher chance of winning this match.
Average score
The average score in T20 matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is around 160-170. However, with the pitch likely to assist spin bowlers, we may see lower scores than usual in this match.
Pitch and conditions
The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is expected to be slow and low, favoring the spin bowlers. The team that wins the toss may look to bowl first and take advantage of the conditions.

Players to keep an eye on…
DC Predicted playing XI:
David Warner, Philip Salt, Rilee Rossouw, Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, Ripal Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed
RCB Predicted playing XI:
Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Anuj Rawat, Mahipal Lomror, Glenn Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood
Ravindra Jadeja: Against a batting line-up that is comfortable facing spin, Jadeja will have a stiff challenge but he has stood up to most of them this year.
Suryakumar Yadav: Suryakumar’s return to form is a major boost for Mumbai Indians and he could take the attack to Chennai here.
