Two important points will be up for grabs when the Delhi Capitals (DC) lock horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 50th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The much-awaited fixture will take place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Saturday, May 6.

With 10 points after nine games, Bangalore are currently placed fifth in the points table. Having defeated DC earlier this season in the reverse fixture, RCB will be hoping to put up another show and further their grip in their race for the playoffs.

The Capitals, meanwhile, are still not out of the competition. After a horrid start to their campaign, they have found their feet somewhat and won three of their last four fixtures. While DC are still at the foot of the table, a win will largely boost their confidence even further.

Before the battle between the two teams starts, here's a look at their head-to-head record.
