Royal Challengers Bangalore will be keen to make a strong comeback when they face in-form Delhi Capitals in the 22nd match of Indian Premier League at Ahmedabad.
The newly constructed Narendra Modi Stadium is all set to host its first IPL game between Delhi and Bangalore. Both the teams will select their playing XIs after carefully going through the pitch conditions.
With a super-over win over Hyderabad, Delhi have done well to claim second position in the league table. The franchise will be hoping to continue their decent form in this contest.
On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore were hammered in their previous game by Chennai Super Kings. Skipper Virat Kohli will be hoping that side can learn from their errors and put on a clinical display with bat and ball.

The bowlers once put in an excellent performance to help Delhi escape with a win over Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In the previous game, Delhi Capitals managed to post a modest total of 159 in their 20 overs, courtesy splendid half-century from Prithvi Shaw.
The likes of Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant and Steven Smith contributed well to the team’s cause to help the side push their score beyond 150-run mark.
For this game, the side will be hoping that the top-order trio of Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant can continue their decent form in this contest.
Former Australian Captain Steven Smith has looked fluent at the crease and once again put in crucial innings for Delhi against Hyderabad.
In the bowling department, Kagiso Rabada and Ravichandran Ashwin were economical with the new-ball. The franchise have suffered setback as Ashwin has decided to take a break and won’t be available for remainder of Indian Premier League. Veteran pacer Ishant Sharma could take his place in the XI.
With the conditions expected to be spinner friendly, the side will be relying heavily on spin duo of Axar Patel and Amit Mishra to create crucial breakthroughs.

Virat Kohli-led unit see the defeat as Chennai as an aberration and will be keen to produce their best cricket against Delhi.
The side could make in two changes as Fabian Allen and Shahbaz Ahmad could come into the XI in place of Kyle Jamieson and Navdeep Saini.
In the batting department, the onus will be on the likes of Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal and Glenn Maxwell to deliver notable scores in this encounter.
In the previous game, Virat Kohli, AB De Villiers perished for low scores against Chennai. The experienced duo will be looking to get back amongst the runs against Delhi.
Glenn Maxwell has been world-class performer in the T20 format and can change the complexion of the game in space of few overs.
Rookie opener Devdutt Padikkal is another player who can deliver big runs for the side. Left-hander notched up his maiden IPL century this season.
In the bowling department, the onus will be on likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel to make crucial breakthroughs.
The only concern for RCB will be the form of leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal, who hasn’t taken many wickets this season. He has claimed three wickets in five innings at an economy rate of 8.58.

The wicket prepared at Ahmedabad might be two-paced wicket with plenty of help for the spinners. The weather forecast for Tuesday is clear skies with light winds.
Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium is going to host the 22nd IPL game between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Last year, Royal Challengers Bangalore lost both their round-robin matches against Delhi Capitals.
With newly prepared wicket, the side that wins the toss, would be keen to bowl first and restrict the opposition to less than 140 runs. Majority of international matches played at Ahmedabad have been won side batting second.
With newly prepared for the game, it is tough to predict a clear winner between two evenly matched teams like Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore.
With Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson opting out of IPL 2021, Royal Challengers Bangalore bowling resources will be tested for remaining matches of the competition.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals seemed to have covered all bases to ensure that they keep their winning record intact.
