TEAMS PREVIEW
Delhi Capitals Preview
The Delhi Capitals side would be absolutely devastated after their loss against Punjab Kings in the last game, making it four losses of the season in 7 games. They have so far won 3 games in IPL 2026 against LSG, MI and RCB.
The Axar Patel led Delhi Capitals sit perfectly mid-table this season. But the loss against Punjab Kings will haunt them for long. In their last match vs PBKS at Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC posted 264/2 in 20 overs after a scintillating century from KL Rahul (152 unbeaten) and Nitish Rana scored 91. However, the Punjab Kings still chased the target in 18.5 overs to secure a 6 wickets victory.
KL Rahul made history and etched his name among the greats of the game. The DC opening batters scored 152 runs off 67 balls at a strike rate of 226.87, hitting 16 fours and 9 sixes. With that performance, he now has scored the highest individual score by an Indian batter in the IPL, and sits just behind Chris Gayle and Brendon McCullum in the all-time highest individual score chart.
After his innings, Rahul now has scored 357 runs in 7 innings at a strike rate of 187.89 and an average of 59.50. Then there is Nitish Rana. The left-hand middle-order batter is one of the best batters against spin bowling and an ever-reliable option in the middle overs. He scored 91 runs off 44 balls and also contributed with 57 off 30 vs SRH, taking his total score this season to 168 runs.
Meanwhile, young batter Sameer Rizvi has made the most of the opportunities given to him this season. He started the season well with back-to-back match winning knocks of 70 off 47 vs LSG and 90 off 51 balls vs MI in the opening two games. Since then he has gone through a lean patch, scoring in single digits in next three matches and scored 41 off 28 balls vs SRH the last time he took the pitch.
Then there is South African batter Tristan Stubbs playing the finishers role for DC this season. Stubbs has 196 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 137.06 and an average of 65.33, especially he has been great in the last three matches, scoring 60 runs twice vs CSK and RCB.
As for their bowling, this is where things have gone a little wrong for DC. Although there is great depth of bowling options, there aren't any impactful performers. The trio of Axar Patel, Lungi Ngidi and Kuldeep Yadav are the joint-top wicket-takers for Delhi Capitals with just 7 wickets each.
Mukesh Kumar and T Natarajan then played a great supporting role with 5 & 4 wickets respectively. Ngidi unfortunately suffered a big injury vs PBKS and won’t feature in this game. However, the good news for DC is that Australian pacer Mitchell Starc has finally arrived to join the squad. He missed half of the season as he was recovering from injury.
DC Over/Under Betting Tips
KL Rahul Total Runs Over 32.5 @ 1.85
KL Rahul scored a magnificent knock of 152 runs in the last match against Punjab Kings, becoming the first Indian batter to score 150 in IPL. So far in the season he has scored 357 runs in 7 matches, averaging 59.50. The last two matches he played at Delhi, Rahul scored past 90 runs.
Total Sixes Over 9.5 @ 1.95
Delhi Capitals are averaging 10 sixes per match at Arun Jaitley Stadium this season. They are also gradually finding their groove and have improved their ball-striking over the last two matches. Against an RCB bowling lineup that has been expensive in the death overs, we back Delhi to clear the rope over 9 times in today's fixture.
Powerplay Score Over 60.5 @ 2.00
Delhi Capitals scored past 50 runs in each of their last two matches here, averaging 59.33 runs in the powerplay at Arun Jaitley Stadium. We predict another high scoring powerplay for the Capitals and their score to be over 60.5.
Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing XI:
Pathum Nissanka, KL Rahul (WK), Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (C), Kuldeep Yadav, Vipraj Nigam, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar. Impact Player: Mitchell Starc.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru team is very aware that Delhi Capitals gave them their second blow of the season earlier this season. RCB have won 5 out of the 7 matches played this season and have claimed 10 points at a net run rate of +1.101.
The Rajat Patidar led side absolutely crushed the Gujarat Titans in the last match, securing a 5 wickets victory while chasing 206 runs. GT scored 205 runs while batting first with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma taking 1 wicket each.
Chasing the target, Virat Kohli did what he is known for. The former skipper scored 81 runs off 44 balls at a strike rate of 184.09 and Devdutt Padikkal scored 55 runs off 27 balls to take RCB on their way to victory. Although there was a slight hiccup in the middle-order, eventually RCB chased the target in 18.5 overs to record a 5 wickets victory.
After lifting his first IPL trophy last season, Virat Kohli is taking his performance level to another level. The star batter has scored 328 runs in 7 innings at a strike rate of 163.18 and an average of 54.67. Some of his notable performances this season includes 69* off 38 balls vs Sunrisers Hyderabad and the 81 runs off 44 balls vs Gujarat Titans.
The RCB batting line-up has been firing all cylinders this season. Captain Rajat Patidar has been leading the side like a true leader, playing the counter-attacking cricket. He has scored 238 runs off 7 innings at a strike rate of 210.62 and average of 39.67.
Devdutt Padikkal has scored 208 runs, carrying the momentum set by the openers while Phil Salt has been the perfect partner for Virat Kohli at the top order, scoring 202 runs in 6 innings. Tim David has been perfectly portraying the finishers role for RCB this season, smashing the ball out of the park at a strike rate of 194.68 and scoring 183 runs at an average of 91.50.
As for the bowling unit, there was never a doubt that Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bowling line-up is one of the best in the league. Veteran Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the top wicket-taker for RCB with 11 wickets including 3/26 vs DC last time this season.
Jacob Duffy made an electrifying start to his IPL career, taking 6 wickets in the first three matches, including a 3-fer in his debut match. The Kiwi was eventually dropped from the playing XI for the injury returning Josh Hazlewood, who has taken 4 wickets in 4 matches.
With Yash Dayal not available, domestic pacer Rasikh Salam has stepped-up to the occasion really well, taking 5 wickets in 4 matches. Spin bowlers have picked-up from where they exactly left-off last year. Krunal Pandya has impressed everyone with 8 wickets in 7 matches, contributing almost every game, while Suyash Sharma has taken 5 wickets.
RCB Over/Under Betting Tips
Virat Kohli Total Runs Over 30.5 @ 1.85
Kohli is the leading run-scorer for RCB this season with 328 runs in 7 matches, averaging 54.67. He scored 81 runs in the last match against GT to take his team to another win at home. Back at the venue where he started his cricket career, Kohli will look to put up a show Infront of his home crowd and we predict his score to be over 30 runs in today's match.
Total Sixes Over 11.5 @ 1.95
RCB are averaging a staggering 11.5 sixes per match this season, making them the second-best six-hitting side in the competition. With the short boundaries at Arun Jaitley Stadium and an out-of-form Delhi Capitals bowling lineup that has conceded over 11 sixes in each of the last two matches at this venue, we back RCB to clear the rope more than 11 times in today's contest.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Predicted Playing XI:
Virat Kohli, Phil Salt, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (C), Jitesh Sharma (WK), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Rasikh Salam. Impact Player: Suyash Sharma.

DC vs RCB Pitch Report
Pitch Condition
BattingBatting Conditions
High ScoringPace Bowling
SwingSpin Bowling
Minimal Turn
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi for IPL 2026 is a batting-friendly surface with a flat, hard black-soil track that offers true bounce and good carry. The ball comes nicely onto the bat, allowing stroke-makers to play freely, while the relatively short boundaries and quick outfield encourage big hitting.
Pacers may get slight movement or bounce early on, but the surface flattens quickly. Spinners get some grip and turn in the middle overs, especially if the pitch slows down a bit. Dew is usually minimal. There have been 99 T20 matches played at the venue in which the first innings average score is 173.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Total Match Fours Over 34.5 @ 1.90
The average total match fours at Arun Jaitley Stadium this season is a staggering 40.66. The last two matches at this venue have both seen well over 34 fours hit across the full game. With both batting lineups in decent form and the fast outfield consistently producing high boundary counts, the over 34.5 fours line is the most reliable play on the board for today.
Total Match Score Over 395.5 @ 1.85
The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium heavily favours batters and is one of the highest-scoring venues in the competition. The average total match score at this venue this season is a staggering 425 runs. With the short boundary dimensions and two in-form batting lineups colliding, another run-feast is the only realistic expectation.
Total Match Sixes Over 20.5 @ 1.85
The average total match sixes per game at Arun Jaitley Stadium this season is a staggering 22. RCB are one of the best six-hitting sides in the competition, while Delhi Capitals are averaging 10 sixes per match at this venue. We predict another high-scoring, six-hitting contest and back the total to go well over 20.5 in today's fixture.
Delhi Capitals to win the coin toss @ 1.95
We back Delhi Capitals to win the coin toss in today's match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
Toss: To Bowl
There is not much of a toss advantage at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The captain that wins the toss would eventually prefer to bowl first and explore the opportunity to chase with a target on the board rather than setting a total first. Bowling first would allow the side to completely understand the pitch surface and how it plays.
DC vs RCB
Winning Prediction
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are favorites to beat Delhi Capitals. In-form RCB (5 wins, 2 losses) boast a formidable batting lineup led by Virat Kohli (328 runs, Strike Rate 163), Rajat Patidar, and Tim David, backed by a strong bowling attack with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (11 wickets) and Krunal Pandya. DC (3 wins, 4 losses) rely on KL Rahul’s explosive form (357 runs) but have inconsistent bowling and suffered heavy losses in their recent games.
