The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the blockbuster match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) on April 10. RCB, currently sitting third on the points table with three wins from four games, will look to bounce back from their only loss of the season, which came at the hands of Gujarat Titans (GT) at the same venue.
DC, on the other hand, is riding high on a three-match winning streak, having defeated Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their previous outings. They are the only team in the league without a defeat so far this season and will aim to make it four in a row.
RCB’s Virat Kohli and DC’s KL Rahul are fresh off a fifty in their respective last fixtures. Kohli has been in fine form, while Rahul is seemingly finding his mojo with his new IPL franchise. The bowlers will also play a crucial role in this match, with RCB’s swing bowling duo of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood and DC’s Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav looking to make an impact.
Will RCB be able to bounce back from their previous loss, or will DC continue their unbeaten run? The match is sure to be a thrilling contest. Let’s delve deeper into this post for the RCB vs DC Dream11 Prediction.
Date: 10th April 2025 Time: 7:30 PM IST Venue: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Matches Played: 31 RCB won: 19 DC won: 11 No Result: 1 Tied: 0
Royal Challengers Bengaluru dominates the head-to-head battle with 19 wins to 11 in the name of DC. Talking about the last 5 meetings between these two sides, it’s the RCB again leading the charge with 4 wins to 1.
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium’s surface has been renowned for the batters to score heavily. The wicket is generally flat here with a little bit of live grass giving some assistance to the seam bowlers early on. With acutely small boundary sizes all around the ground, a score of around 200 or more is easily on the cards. However, the live green grass on the wicket will give assistance to the pace bowlers early on, and quality bowling could restrict any team to under 200.
RCB Expected Playing XI: Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma, Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal IMPACT: Rasikh Salam, Suyash Sharma
