Ahmedabad, April 26: An upbeat Delhi Capitals will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 encounter at Narendra Modi Stadium on Tuesday (April 27).

As both the teams will be playing their first match at this venue, they would be looking to start on a winning note. While Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals are coming from an emphatic Super Over win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, RCB, on the other hand, faced their first defeat of the season.

Virat Kohli-led RCB suffered an embarrassing 69-run mauling against Super Kings as they were floored by Ravindra Jadeja's one-man show at Wankhede.

Kohli and his band - who have been jolted with the exit of Australian cricketers Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson due to personal reasons - would be looking to get to winning ways against Delhi - who will not be having the services of their premier spinner R Ashwin in the tournament.

Here are the Dream11 Predictions for Match #22 of the IPL:

The Rishabh Pant-led Delhi side has secured three back-to-back wins and displaced RCB to the third spot in the points table with their win against SRH in the Super Over. DC have won four of their five contests in the tournament so far and are placed at second after CSK.

The emphatic performances against Punjab, Mumbai and Hyderabad would have further emboldened the side. Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant have been doing the bulk of the scoring for the franchise, but Prithvi Shaw and Steve Smith's return in form against SRH would bring more stability in their batting order.

Shaw hit a match-winning fifty against Hyderabad and also gave his team a good start at the top. The team would be looking for another such show from the talented right-handed opener. Dhawan has been the leading run-scorer in the tournament so far and the southpaw would be aiming to score big against RCB in their next match.

Marcus Stoinis and Axar Patel will be key all-rounders for the side and their roles with the bat, as well as with the ball, will be crucial for Delhi's success. Against SRH, Axar played his first game of the season and made an immediate impact as he picked up a couple of wickets and also bowled the Super Over, conceding just seven from it. Amit Mishra will be the main spinner for the side and his role gets important in the absence of his spin partner R Ashwin.

Pace battery will be led by Kagiso Rabada and young Avesh Khan would be looking to showcase his skills against the side led by the India captain and present his case for his national call up.

It will be interesting to see whom does coach Ricky Ponting include in the playing eleven in the absence of Ashwin. The DC think tank must be discussing whether they should go with an extra batsman or include a bowler in the side against RCB.

Captain Kohli would be looking to forget the hammering at the hands of Chennai Super Kings in their last game. RCB must consider it as an off day and look to come back strongly in their next game for they didn't do much wrong against CSK. It was just Ravindra Jadeja's brilliance with bat and ball that cost RCB at Wankhede.

Despite the defeat, there were plenty of positives for RCB against CSK in Devdutt Padikkal, Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar and Harshal Patel. Except for that costly 20th over bowled by Patel, which leaked 37 runs, RCB had things under control.

Be it spinners or pacers, RCB bowlers have been performing well in the league and would be aiming to come back strongly against Delhi Capitals. They would be looking to once again bowl disciplined lines and trouble the opposition batsmen. Once again all eyes will be on the slower ones bowled by Harshal and Mohammed Siraj's toe-crushing yorkers.

Siraj has been a revelation in this tournament and has been impressing everyone with an improved show. The right-arm quick would be aiming to rattle in-form Delhi Capitals' top-order and make early inroads for his team.

Yuzvendra Chahal and Washington Sundar's performance will also be key against Delhi for the latter are also good against spin.

In the batting department, the focus will once again be on Padikkal, captain Kohli, AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell. Their batting didn't fire against CSK but it will be a new day and a different venue on Tuesday.
