IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru – Match Preview

Delhi Capitals will lock horns against Royals Challengers Bengaluru in the 46th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on Sunday. While Delhi has won six out of their eight matches, RCB has won as many games but have played an extra game.

When these two teams met recently in the season, Delhi Capitals registered a six-wicket win in Bengaluru. 

Both of these teams are looking all set to qualify for the playoffs and they would want to carry the winning impetus. Axar Patel has been leading DC with aplomb and the likes of KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc are delivering consistently. In the last game against LSG, Mukesh Kumar bagged four wickets as he was right on the money. 

However, DC would want to pull up their socks in the field as they have been dropping catches, which could be crucial in big games.

On the other hand, RCB have ticked the right boxes with both bat and ball. The top order has delivered consistently whereas the bowlers have been right on the money.

Head to Head: Head to Head: Matches: 31, Won by RCB: 19, Won by DC: 12.
