Delhi Capitals: Form and Statistics

Delhi Capitals bounced back to winning ways against Lucknow Super Giants and will hope they can keep things running. But as underdogs, they must face their inability to win back-to-back games. In recent matches, Delhi Capitals have defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals while also losing to Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. Ahead of this game, Delhi Capitals will come into this contest with 12 points, having a +0.657 net run rate.

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Weather and Pitch Report

The weather for today will be a good one. It is expected to be around 42 degrees celsius, with a minimum temperature of 28 degrees celsius. There will be minimum respite even in the evening, with the weather expected to remain in the high 30s.

The batters will benefit the most from the pitch in this game. The characteristic behaviour is typical of the Kotla surface, which often starts favourably for batsmen but tends to become slower as the game unfolds and as the season progresses. On the other hand, the ground’s smaller boundaries can make power-hitting relatively easier.

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Prediction 27 April 2025

Delhi Capitals have been inconsistent lately, but it is clear why the Royal Challengers Bengaluru come into this game as favourites. In the meantime, looking at the gameplay of the two teams, it is clear this game could go either way, especially considering how brilliant both teams are in tough contests. At home, I like the Delhi to pull off some solid performances and it is clear they will show a lot of offensive play, just like the encounter against the Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. 

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been one of the biggest sides, but their ability to deliver quality play from road matches even makes them a better team. This should be a close contest, as I believe this will be a very competitive game. At home, I like Delhi Capitals to show a lot of offensive performances, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru will also not give up.
