RCB vs DC: It hasn’t been a happy homecoming for Royal Challengers Bengaluru as they have now lost both home matches in the IPL 2025, after winning all three away games. RCB locked horns with Delhi Capitals in match no. 24 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. DC registered a six-wicket win to carry on their undefeated streak.
It began with Axar Patel winning the toss and deciding to bowl first. RCB got off to a flyer with a 61-run opening stage within 4 overs. Phil Salt (37 off 17) was unfortunate to get run out. That started the collapse. Rajat Patidar (25 off 23) and Krunal Pandya (18 off 18) tried to contain but got out. In the end, Tim David scored an unbeaten 37 off 20 to take RCB to 163/7 in the first innings.
It was a below-par total, but DC also had a poor start, and they were 30/3 and 58/4 at one stage. Then KL Rahul and Tristan Stubbs added an unbeaten 111 runs to take DC home. Stubbs made 38 off 23, and Rahul scored 93 off 53 balls. With this, DC recorded their fourth win and is in second place.
Let’s take a look at the award winners of this nail-biting match.
