IPL 2024 Match 62 | RCB vs DC | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be taking on Delhi Capitals in match 62 of IPL 2024. RCB are on a four-match winning streak and have been sparkling with rhythm and rhyme. They would be looking to clinch off another victory at their home turf. DC are presently in the fifth position on the points table and have six wins under their belt.

Despite a string of losses, Royal Challengers Bengaluru never gave up and kept backing themselves to come good at one stage. And they bounce back with a bang. With four wins in four matches, all of them comfortable victories, RCB are still in the hunt with an outside chance of qualifying to the playoffs. Virat Kohli, the orange cap holder, is still leading the way with the bat. But, luckily for him and the team, Faf Du Plessis, Rajat Patidar and Will Jacks have found their footing. And so have a few bowlers in the camp, especially Karn Sharma and Swapnil Singh who stemmed the flow of runs beautifully against PBKS to slow them down and shift the momentum in RCB’s favour. The team will aim for another superb display of the game.

On the other hand, the campaign of Delhi Capitals has been a tale of two halves. A solitary win from their first five games forced them to go back to the drawing board. With a mountain to climb if they were to give themselves a real chance of making it to the playoffs, they ringed in a few changes to the team’s make-up, and won five of the next seven matches to follow. The inclusion of dynamic batters up top such as Jake Fraser McGurk, Abishek Porel in the XI has worked wonders for DC. They’ve been able to get their team off to a blistering start, with the young Australian in particular fearless in his attack. Tristan Stubbs and Rishabh Pant played some useful knocks to put the team in a winning position. Their bowlers have been made to look pretty ordinary in many instances this season.
