This match becomes crucial for both teams. While DD would be eager to get off the mark, RPS will want to make amends for their loss against KXIP with a win in this match. RPS skipper Steven Smith has been in tremendous form. He has 110 runs in his two outings so far, including an unbeaten 84 in the first match against Mumbai. DD put up an excellent bowling effort to restrict RCB to 157 at Chinnaswamy, but their batsmen failed to take them over the line. Barring Rishabh Pant’s fifty, nobody stepped up to the plate.
