RCB vs DC Match Overview-
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s start to IPL 2025 was excellent. In their first game of the season, they defeated defending champions Kolakta Knight Riders. This was followed by RCB defeating the Chennai Super Kings by 50 runs. This the the Bengaluru-based franchise’s first win in Chennai against CSK since 2008. However, in their most recent game, the RCB was defeated by the Gujarat Titans. They will also face the Mumbai Indians before this match. So far, with two wins and four points in three games and a healthy net run rate, the Royal Challengers stand second in the league table.
As for the Delhi Capitals, they are the only unbeaten team in the league so far this season. In their first match of the season, they beat the Lucknow Super Giants in a one-wicket thriller. This was followed by a thrashing of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. In their most recent game, the Capitals defeated the Super Kings in Chennai for the first time since 2010. With three wins and six points in three matches and the best net run rate in the league, DC is currently at the top of the league table.
Head-to-Head Record
Before diving into predictions, let’s take a look at the historical rivalry between these two teams. As of April 7, 2025, RCB and DC have faced off 31 times in the IPL, with RCB holding a slight edge:
• Total Matches: 31
• RCB Wins: 18
• DC Wins: 12
• No Result: 1
Their most recent encounter on May 12, 2024, saw RCB triumph by 47 runs at home, thanks to a blistering 92 from Virat Kohli and a disciplined bowling effort. Historically, RCB has dominated at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, winning 3 of the last 4 matches against DC at this venue. This stat gives RCB a psychological edge heading into the game, but DC’s resurgence in 2025 suggests they’re not here to roll over.
Pitch Report
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is synonymous with high-scoring thrillers. Its small boundaries and flat pitch make it a nightmare for bowlers and a dream for batsmen. In IPL 2024, the venue consistently produced totals above 180, with teams batting first often setting targets exceeding 200.
• Average 1st Innings Score (IPL 2024): 185+
• Chasing Record: Teams batting second have won 60% of matches here in recent seasons.
• Key Stat: Both teams scored 200+ in a 2024 clash at this ground, highlighting its run-friendly nature.
Expect a similar trend on April 10, 2025. Dew could play a role in the second innings, making chasing the preferred option for the toss winner. Bettors should keep an eye on “Both Teams to Score 200+” markets, which have hit in recent RCB home games.
RCB vs DC Match Prediction: Who Will Win?
Predicting an IPL match is never straightforward, especially at a venue like Chinnaswamy. However, based on current form, historical data, and venue trends, here’s our take:
• RCB’s Edge: Home advantage, Kohli’s form, and a settled batting lineup give RCB a slight upper hand. Their 58% win probability (per bookmakers like Parimatch) aligns with their dominance at this ground.
• DC’s Threat: Fraser-McGurk’s explosiveness and a potent bowling attack could turn the tide, especially if they chase.
Verdict: RCB to win narrowly, likely in a high-scoring chase. A total of 185-195 batting first feels par, but don’t be surprised if both teams breach 200.
