Head-to-Head
As we step into the second leg of the Indian premier league, we have new venue to play at. Yes, Narendra Modi stadium has started hosting IPL games for the first time after its inauguration. The first match was played last night when PBKS took on KKR, what a fantastic match of cricket that was! So, we move on to the second match on this venue as Delhi Capitals prepare themselves to take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday night. Yes, it is King Kohli vs the Magical Pant! Both teams are riding high on the success ladder with just one loss each till now. While Delhi are on a roll after 3 back-to-back wins, Bangalore on the other hand, suffered their first loss in their last match against the Chennai Super Kings. Although they misjudged a few situations in the last match, it would be safe to say that Dhoni and his men just had a better day on the field.
Delhi on the other hand will be looking to grab the top spot soon as the tournament progresses. Two tough teams are going to take the field against each other on Tuesday night and it will be a night to remember.

Pitch Conditions
Conditions at the Narendra Modi stadium are still a big mystery to solve. The ball is coming well on to the bat but there is still some good swing on the pitch and it feels as if it might help the bowlers in the late overs. Both teams have a long list of batsmen in their ranks so this could be high scoring match and may have nail-biting ending.

Batting
RCB:
The RCB have some really strong batsmen including the best batsmen in the world Virat Kohli who is opening the batting these days with Devdutt Padikkal. AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell in their line-up adds a lot of experience in their line-up and the good news is that Glenn Maxwell is back on the scoring sheet! If they want to go for some interesting options for tonight, Dan Christian, Mohammed Azharuddin and also a certain Daniel Sams. Youngsters like Sachin Baby, Srikar Bharat, Pavan Deshpande, Shahbaz Ahmed and Washington Sundar provide them plenty of options to choose from and these boys are getting good exposure.
DC:
Delhi is a batting line-up that boasts of some really good hitters from the Indian team like Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane. Dhawan and Shaw are in excellent touch while Pant provides ample support in the middle. Rahane is yet to find a spot in the line-up. Marcus Stoinis helps the team finish well with Shimron Hetmyer. They have not gone for Steve Smith, yet which is a surprise given his ability to hit the ball. Chris Woakes is also a good option in the tail end. All in all their line up looks fairly good to take on a side like Mumbai.
Bowling
DC vs RCB: Top 5 best bowling figures:
| Player | Best Bowling Figure | Team |
| Jaydev Unadkat | 5/25 | RCB |
| Kagiso Rabada | 4/21 | DC |
| Kagiso Rabada | 4/24 | DC |
| Glenn McGrath | 4/29 | DC |
| Pawan Negi | 3/10 | RCB |
RCB:
The Bangalore team looks as strong in the bowling department as they are in the batting department. Harshal Patel has been phenomenal to watch and did an exceptional job in their previous match, bowling in the death overs. Mohammed Siraj is going through a rough patch but is still looking promising. Washington Sundar, Shahbaz Ahmed and Kane Richardson add a lot of depth to the line-up while the star of the show this year has been Yuzvendra Chahal with some really good performances and the purple cap contender for his team.
