On Saturday, Virat’s red-army still searching for winning momentum. RCB have a very good outing in their second game against Kings XI Punjab, but have since gone down to Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. RCB bowlers conceding more than 200 in each of those outings. The bowling department has been RCB’s weak-link over the years. And there is no change in this season as well. There is variety and experience in the bowling department, but the bowlers have struggled to find means to keep the runs down against their opponent. It would be fair to say that RCB are still figuring out their best combination and their next four matches which will take at their home ground. It will give them an opportunity to find a combination and make a rapid climb up the ladder.

Talking about RCB opponent Delhi Daredevils have had a four-day break since their 71-run loss to the Kolkata Knight Riders. There is plenty of talent and ability in the DD line-up, but the team hasn’t got their act together; they need things to quickly fall in place before it is too late.The Daredevils are yet to play a match at home this season; this match will be last of their five-consecutive-away-matches stretch, and they will be hoping to head home with the confidence of a win behind them.
