Services, on the other hand, have struggled badly, with no points to their name after four outings and occupying the bottom spot. Delhi look in much better shape at the moment and will head into this contest as the favorites.

Delhi have enjoyed a promising run so far, winning three matches and losing just once. They started their season with three wins in a row, and suffered their first defeat in their previous match, where they went down to Odisha by 79 runs.
Delhi will be without the services of their best batsman, Virat Kohli, in this game, but they still have plenty of other performers to count on. Priyansh Arya is one of them, as the opener has smashed 158 runs in four matches at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 157.
Harsh Tyagi has been just as important, keeping the runs flowing with 136 runs at a strike rate of 80, and adding real weight to the lower order.
Nitish Rana and Rishabh Pant, each with over 120 runs, offer stability, ensuring the innings does not lose momentum in the middle overs.
In the bowling department, performances have been steady despite flat pitches. Prince Yadav has claimed 10 wickets in four outings with an economy rate of 5.37. Simarjeet Singh and Navdeep Saini can leak runs but have the ability to strike at important moments, making them valuable in this attack. Hrithik Shokeen is another genuine wicket-taking option.

Services have had a tough start to the season, losing four games in a row and sitting at the bottom of the table. With no points on the board and a net run rate of -1.866, they now have to win each of their remaining three fixtures to have any hopes of qualifying for the next round.
Sagar Dahiya has been one of the few bright spots, scoring 125 runs in four innings at an average of 31.25 and a strike rate of 69. Nakul Sharma has also made useful contributions with 124 runs from four games at a strike rate of 93.23.
Among the others, Irfan Ali is a dependable choice, as he has made 103 runs in just two games at a strike rate of 91.
The rest of the batting line-up has struggled to get going, which has played a big part in their poor run. Players such as Ravi Chauhan and Mohit Ahlawat can change games but have yet to click this season.
Their bowling has not fared much better. Most of the attack has been reliant on Nitin Yadav and Poonam Poonia, who have taken six wickets each. Pulkit Narang and Arjun Sharma have done reasonably well, but the side needs far more impact with the ball to start putting wins together.

Batters usually enjoy themselves at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, thanks to a pitch that’s typically flat and reliable—just right for clearing the ropes. If there’s something in it for spinners, it tends to show up in the middle overs. But unless the surface changes drastically, bowlers won’t have much to work with.
The weather in Bengaluru will be cool and clear all through the day.

At M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, teams batting first typically average 270 runs in 50-over games. But this venue often delivers big scores – with the highest ODI score here being India’s 410-4. For this match, the side batting first will likely aim for 320 or thereabouts to feel comfortable.
At M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, chasing has brought better results in 50-over games, and we reckon the captain winning the toss will choose to bowl first here.
Four consecutive losses have put Services under pressure. There are only three league games left, which leaves them little time to recover, and the challenge ahead is a tough one. Their next opponent, Delhi, are in great form and have only lost one match this season. With their batting and bowling in good form, Delhi seem well placed to come out on top against a side searching for answers in both departments.
We are backing Delhi as the winners of this match.
