Both Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore have an arsenal of explosive batters and most of them already shown their prowess in this season. Plus the ball will come on the bat nicely on the Ahmedabad pitch allowing batters to hit freely. DC come in this contest after winning super over so the confidence is high while RCB tasted the first defeat of their season in the last game thanks to Ravi Jadeja heroics.
