RCB vs DC : Best Performance Prediction
Best Batsman
Faf du Plessis
The RCB skipper seems to be in a great flow having already scored 175 runs off three matches with an average of 87.5. The more part is his impressive strike rate of 173.26, which makes him more reliable for faster scoring rate in crucial times. So, best pick for the batter of the day.
Best Bowler
Anrich Nortje
The South African fast bowler has not been much impressive during this IPL season. So far, he has managed to claim just 2 wickets in last three matches. This pitch typical doesn’t support bowlers much. But still the pacer can play a key role in putting the opponents on the back foot with his bouncers and extra pace. So, best pick for the bowler of the day.
