The weather forecast in Dubai on Monday is mostly sunny and very warm. It is expected to be very humid. The track at Dubai stadium tends to be a good wicket for batting upfront. However, the spinners are known to play their part as the game progresses.
The match will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
From the last seven IPL T20 played at the same venue, five matches won by batting first team and two games ended in super overs. Records and batting conditions are strongly in favour of batting first team hence both the team will look to bat first after winning the toss.
We expect it to be a thrilling game of cricket as both the teams have been playing brilliantly and got huge success. However, considering the batting stalwarts in RCB like Kohli, Finch and ABD, their unit looks much stronger than Delhi Capitals. Besides, statistically, RCB holds upper hand playing against Delhi Capital. Hence, RCB will have an advantage going into this game.
We predict Royal Challengers Bangalore will win this match.
