Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match prediction 55th match

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore | Three bets to make some money this Monday

The equation is simple, the winner qualifies for the knockouts, while the loser has to wait for other results. Delhi Capitals have been the better side this season, even though they faltered in the later stages of the tournament. Royal Challengers Bangalore will be eyeing no less than a win, with them also having an impressive season so far. We are expecting a cracker of a game, so do not miss out on the action.

I have already assorted the top three bets from the market and listed them below. Just go through my analysis and invest accordingly to win loads of money by the end of the day.

Delhi Capitals total at first dismissal under 22.5 runs @ 1.85 (Sportsbet.io)

Even though Delhi Capitals have had a good IPL campaign so far, their opening stands have been miserable so far, with Shikhar Dhawan the lone star. In the past five matches, their 1st wicket partnerships registered - 1, 1, 0, 25, 0, having scored just 27 runs, at a rate of 5.4 runs per innings, with them crossing the 22-run mark just once. Overall, in 13 matches played this season, the Delhi Capitals have put on 269 runs, averaging 20.69 runs per innings, with them putting up less than 23 runs in nine of those matches.

In the three matches played at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, their opening stands read - 2, 4, 0, managing to put on just 6 runs combined from those games. In the last five H2H matches between these two sides, Delhi Capitals openings stands registered - 68, 35, 1, 4, 7, having racked up 115 runs, scoring at a rate of 23 runs per innings, even though they have made at least 23 runs just twice in those instances. With Prithvi Shaw out of form and Shikhar Dhawan failing to score big in the past few matches, this is a bet worth investing in.

Delhi Capitals to hit less than 5.5 sixes @ 1.72 (Bet 365)

Apparently, this might not look like a very decision, but I ensure you will change your mind once you read along. In the past five matches, the Delhi Capitals have hit a total of 21 sixes, at a rate of 4.2 hits per innings, with them hitting less than 6 in four of those matches. Overall, in 13 matches played this season, the Delhi-based team has struck a total of 72 sixes, hitting at a rate of 5.53 hits per match, having registered less than 6 hits in eight of the above-mentioned matches, which surely tells us a tale.

In the three matches played at the venue so far, the Delhi Capitals have struck a total of 9 sixes (5, 1, 3), at a rate of 3 hits per match, with no matches registering 6 sixes or more. Moreover, only Shreyas Iyer, with 14 hits from 13 matches, is their only player in the list of top 15 six hitters this season, which proves why investing on this particular bet is a good proposition. I have already made my investments, I hope you will do the same, especially with odds of 1.72 on offer.

Royal Challengers Bangalore to hit less than 14.5 fours @ 1.62 (Sportsbet.io)

This looks like a pretty safe bet to me, with the recent trend also supporting the same. In the last five matches, the number of boundaries hit by Royal Challengers Bangalore were - 9, 21, 11, 11, 5, having amassed a total of 57, at a rate of 11.4 hits per match, with them striking more than 14 in just one of the above-mentioned matches. Overall, in 13 matches played this season, the IPL side has registered a total of 154 boundaries, at a rate of 11.84 hits per match, with them hitting less than 15 in ten of those games.

In the last five H2H matches between these two sides, Royal Challengers Bangalore have hit a total of 59 boundaries (11, 12, 8, 14, 14), at a rate of 11.8 hits per match, with no match registering more than 24 boundaries. Meanwhile, Devdutt Padikkal is the only batsman from the Royal Challengers Bangalore squad to feature in the list of top 15 boundary hitters this season, which also supports our cause. We are not expecting Royal Challengers Bangalore to hit more than 14 boundaries in the upcoming match, so place your bets as soon as possible.
