Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Both teams preview 

Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals’ campaigns have been phenomenally good so far; the team has managed to win 6 out of their 8 matches and is placed in the first half of the table. With a strong start to the tournament, Axar-led Delhi has shown brilliant performances and has registered back-to-back victories for the 2025 season. They were roaring high but then faced a dip in their winning momentum when they faced defeat from the Mumbai Indians, but then the team regrouped and bounced back stronger with a close win over the Rajasthan Royals in the super over. Heading into this match, DC is coming from a dominant win over LSG, and now they will be eager to carry the winning momentum till the end of the group stage.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Bengaluru started strong in this season, but setbacks at their home left the team in the middle of the points table. Despite winning against dominant teams like CSK, MI, RR, and KKR in away matches, the team couldn’t turn their home into a winning ground and lost all three matches at Chinnaswamy. But in their recent outing, RCB bounced back and registered a win at their own home against Rajasthan Royals. Facing DC in this match, RCB will seek revenge for their previous encounter and will be eager to extend their winning streak.
