Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will face Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 24th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Both teams won their previous games.
RCB defeated Mumbai Indians (MI) by 12 runs in their last fixture. Batting first, they scored a big total and later, somehow, defended it to register their third win.
Meanwhile, DC got the better of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the previous outing. They scored an above-par total in the first innings and bowled exceptionally well in the second dig to remain unbeaten in the tournament.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Phil Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal
Impact Player: Suyash Sharma
Delhi Capitals: Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel (c), Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohit Sharma
Impact Player: Mukesh Kumar
The track in Bengaluru in the last game was good for batting, but speedsters got some assistance early on. Expect a similar case again, with a little bit of everything for everyone. The team winning the toss might elect to field first, with around 190 being a fighting one.
A temperature of around 31°C, with partly cloudy skies, is forecast.
