Team Previews
Delhi Capitals Preview
Delhi Capitals are coming into this RCB vs DC clash full of confidence after a solid win against Lucknow Super Giants. Under the leadership of Axar Patel, DC’s campaign has picked up momentum with a balanced performance from both their batsmen and bowlers. KL Rahul’s stability at the top and middle-order firepower from Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma have provided the Capitals the perfect blend.
Bowling remains DC’s stronghold. Mitchell Starc’s fiery spells and Mukesh Kumar’s breakthrough ability have been pivotal. Kuldeep Yadav’s spin in the middle overs often chokes the opposition’s scoring rate, while Axar Patel’s all-round performances add depth. Having beaten RCB earlier in the season, DC will look to replicate that performance. However, maintaining consistency against a dynamic side like RCB will be their ultimate test.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are peaking at the right time in IPL 2025. Rajat Patidar’s team is no longer slow starters and has consistently shown resilience throughout the season. As they face Delhi in today’s Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals prediction battle, they carry an unbeaten away record.
Virat Kohli has been sensational, anchoring innings alongside aggressive partners like Philip Salt. Middle-order stability with Devdutt Padikkal and the power finish from Tim David, Krunal Pandya, and Romario Shepherd provide RCB with batting depth. Their bowling, though initially shaky, has found rhythm with Josh Hazlewood leading from the front and Suyash Sharma complementing well with spin.
In the RCB vs DC match, RCB’s ability to handle Delhi’s spinners while exploiting their batting frailties could be the key to victory. Rajat Patidar would want his team to carry the momentum and strengthen their position in the points table.
