Adda Notes: Equally matched Delhi and Bangalore eye history at new venue

Delhi take on Bangalore in the twenty-second match of the Indian T20 League on Tuesday, April 27, as both the teams move to the new Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera for the next phase of the tournament.

While Delhi comes into the match at the back of a thrilling super-over win over Hyderabad in one of the double-headers on Sunday, Virat Kohli's Bangalore suffered their first defeat of the tournament against Chennai on the same day.

With Team Delhi placed second in the points table and Bangalore third, the encounter on Tuesday is expected to be a close one. The Delhi vs Bangalore head-to-head has been dominated by Virat Kohli's side, who has won 14 of the 25 encounters. On the other hand, Delhi has won 10 games, with one match ending as a "no-result.”

While a new Narendra Modi Stadium makes it challenging to grasp its pitch conditions, both Delhi and Bangalore have been evenly matched in terms of their run-scoring prowess.

Batting first, Delhi have averaged 152.2 runs in the last five innings, while Bangalore trails them by just one run as Kohli & Co. averaged 151.2 while batting first in the previous five matches.

On average, Delhi have hit 19.2 fours and three sixes in their last five Indian T20 League matches, while Bangalore have averaged 15 fours and 5.6 sixes in the same.

Here are the players to watch out for in the Delhi vs Bangalore match.
