DC vs RCB, IPL 2026: Here are all the head-to-head stats and numbers you need to know ahead of the match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals today.
DC vs. RCB prediction: As the Delhi Capitals (DC) attempt to bounce back from a defensive nightmare, the stage is set for an exciting match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium tonight. A few days ago, DC saw the “Impossible” when Punjab Kings chased down their enormous total of 264/2 with seven balls remaining, thanks to a scorching 152 from KL Rahul. DC’s bowling squad is under tremendous pressure to demonstrate that they can defend on a Delhi surface that has become a batter’s paradise, while their batting unit is operating at full capacity. They draw comfort from their earlier encounter with RCB in Bengaluru, where a thrilling 6-wicket triumph was clinched by David Miller’s hallmark clutch hitting in the final over and Tristan Stubbs’ steady 60.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), on the other hand, have a point to make when they arrive in the city. After destroying Gujarat, RCB is presently riding high on winning momentum and has a slim 4-3 advantage in this rivalry since 2022. Naturally, the focus is on the local star, Virat Kohli, who, after being limited to just 19 in their most recent match, will be keen to make a huge mark back home. This matchup of heavyweights is expected to be nerve-wracking, with DC hoping for a season double and RCB hoping to solidify their position near the top of the standings.
