RCB vs DC Probable Winners:

Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Capitals are two of the most consistent teams in the IPL 2025. RCB has found balance across the board, with both the bowling and batting units stepping up regardless of the conditions. Delhi may not have the biggest names, but they are getting the work done with careful planning and execution. It's not a simple match to call, but RCB has more depth and a home advantage. To pull this off, DC will need KL Rahul to get big and Starc to arrive early. If that doesn't happen, RCB ought to have the advantage. Considering the team combination, Royal Challengers Bengaluru is expected to win this match.
