Bengaluru set a target of 182 runs against Delhi Capitals. 181 runs on such a pitch I would not call a bad performance. But I expected Bengaluru to deliver more than 200 targets today. Because their two openers Kohli and du Plessis batted well in this match. Bengaluru lost their first wicket in the 11th over. Even though Kohli could play an innings of 55 runs today, his strike rate was only 119. Mahipal's innings of 54 runs from 29 balls enabled Bengaluru to collect 181 runs.
Delhi have won three of their last four matches. The team's batsmen are in good form. If the opening pair can bat well, Delhi has a chance to win against Bengaluru.
I think Delhi will win today's match as well. Delhi's two openers Phil Salt and David Warner have been able to start their innings very well. At the end of 5 overs, Delhi collected 60 runs. David Warner scored 22 off 13 balls and Phil Salt scored 35 off 17 balls. Delhi needs 122 runs off 90 balls to win. Delhi will not lose this match unless they lose wickets very quickly. Scoring 122 runs off 90 balls does not seem like a difficult task to me.
