Royal Challengers Bangalore are locking horns with Delhi Capitals in the 20th match of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. The game is currently being held at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
RCB started their IPL 2023 campaign with an emphatic win over Mumbai Indians at home. They won the game by eight wickets to announce their arrival in style but they failed to deliver a win in the next two games.
RCB lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by 81 runs at Eden Gardens. After that, they lost to Lucknow Super Giants in a thrilling contest at home. Having played three games so far, they managed to win once.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals are the only team that is yet to churn out a win in the ongoing IPL season. They are the only team that lost all three games this season and had a miserable start to their campaign.
