IPL 2017 | Fan predictions : Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Delhi Daredevils

Options: Tymal Mills, Yuzvendra Chahal

In their previous match, Mills & Chahal bowled 11 & 5 dots in their allotted four overs. Chahal was, by far, more miserly, and with an economy rate of 5.5 was one of the best bowlers against Hyderabad who scored over 200 runs. Mills, on the other hand, conceded at an economy of 7.7 runs in the same game. Fans, however, aren’t completely convinced with the spinner's performance and are split down the middle about the two Bangalore players.

How many runs will be scored?

Fans’ verdict: 270-330 – 50%

There is a 7-year age gap between these two cricketers and that perhaps accounts for the explosiveness with which Nair plays. The 25-year-old averages almost 3.5 boundaries per innings in the IPL while Jadhav, is staider with 1.7 boundaries per innings in the IPL. The fans, however, have opted to side with experience over youth with 60% banking on Jadhav to hit more boundaries in this match.

In the head to head comparisons, between the two sides, Bangalore hold a slender lead with six wins as compared to Delhi's four. While the home side need to escape from their tag of the eternal chokers (having made it to 3 finals and losing each one), Delhi are in danger of stagnating their way into mediocrity. The masses, however, are still backing the Kohli-less Bangalore side despite their opening-day defeat or is it a total lack of confidence in the Daredevils’ abilities? Either way, 76% believe that Bangalore will take the honours today.
