DC is having a horrible season 

DC have played and lost 4 games in IPL 2023 so far and are placed at the bottom of the points table. Nothing has worked for them so far as their batting and bowling departments have failed collectively in the last four matches. DC werenot helped with their captain Rishabh Pant missing out due to road accident injuries. David Warner has not inspired the troops either with the bat or with his leaderships skills. More than luck, what the Delhi-bases franchise need is to play good cricket. 

RCB's IPL 2023 season so far

RCB are currently at 7th spot in the IPL 2023 Points Table. They began their season with a good win over five-time champions Mumbai Indians (MI) at home but in last 2 games, RCB have tasted defeat. They lost to KKR and LSG in next two games after win over MI. The LSG defeat will be hard to swallow for Bangalore as they lost despite posting a massive 212 for 2 in 20 overs. Their old habit of giving away runs in the death overs was there to be seen again as Nicholas Pooran slammed 19-ball 62 to take LSG to a brilliant win.
