Here are some of the best bets for this Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals IPL 2025 match.
Virat Kohli is coming off an excellent knock against Mumbai Indians, hitting 67 off 42 deliveries. He has registered two half centuries in four innings this season, and you can back him to add another to his tally.
Bengaluru is one of the best venues in the country for batting. Short boundaries make six-hitting easier at this ground. Since 2022, the venue has witnessed 20 sixes per match on average. With batters from both teams in good form, this can be a pretty safe bet.
Axar Patel has been batting higher up in the order in recent times, and has looked in great form. He has averaged 28 and struck at 143 in the past 12 months. Axar’s left-arm spin can also be crucial in this game against an RHB-heavy line-up.
The pitches at M Chinnaswamy Stadium have historically been batting friendly with not much help for the bowlers. Additionally, short boundaries help the batters further in hitting boundaries. There have been 15 IPL games played here since 2022, with the average first innings score of 195.
