IPL 2025: RCB vs DC April 27 High-Octane Clash

The Indian Premier League 2025 is getting intense as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 46 of the league. The match will be played on Sunday, April 27, at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, and the first ball will be bowled at 7:30 PM IST.

Both teams are fighting for a crucial win to bolster their playoff hopes, making this a must-watch encounter for IPL fans.

RCB Riding on Kohli’s Brilliance
RCB will arrive in the match with an injection of performance from their talisman, Virat Kohli, who tops the batting chart with 425 runs from 10 matches. Having a strike rate of more than 160 and average of 47.22, Kohli has been RCB’s season so far performer. Rajat Patidar also performed under pressure with 345 runs at a strike rate of 194.91.

RCB’s best bowling bowler in bowling has been Yash Dayal, who has picked up 10 wickets in 9 games. However, the overall economy of the team is a concern, especially while playing at scoring havens like Delhi.

DC Banking on Home Crowds
For Delhi Capitals, opener Jake Fraser-McGurk has been a game-changer. The Australian batsman has scored 330 runs in 9 matches at a sizzling strike rate of 234.04. Abishek Porel has been the standby with quietly contributing 277 runs at 34.62 average.

Kuldeep Yadav is still DC’s preferred bowler, taking 13 wickets in 9 matches at an economy of 8.88. Home conditions and familiar surfaces can now rescue DC from the recent setbacks.

Head-to-Head and Expectations
RCB recall their previous game versus DC in May 2024 when they won by 47 runs in Bengaluru. Match-saver on that day was Cameron Green as he led RCB to 187 and then bowlers prevented DC from going over 140.

Both the teams are daydreaming of playoffs and there are very high chances that there could be a tight game with lot of high-octane cricket and fireworks by the players.
