The iconic M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is all set to host a riveting IPL 2025 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals, slated to take place on Thursday, April 10. With two power-packed teams eyeing their fourth win in this clash, the stakes could not be higher.

RCB head into this encounter on the back of a morale-boosting win over five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians at the historic Wankhede Cricket Stadium – their first win there since 2015. This epic victory has reinforced RCB's growing reputation as a well-rounded outfit under Rajat Patidar's captaincy. Despite three victories so far, Rajat Patidar and his men are yet to taste victory in front of their home crowd in this edition of the cash-rich league.

The forthcoming clash presents a wonderful opportunity for the 2016 IPL runners-up to do just that and solidify their spot in the top half of the points table. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals seem to be having a stellar campaign so far. Axar Patel and his men have gone from strength to strength, with back-to-back wins over LSG and SRH before toppling CSK in their last game — making them the only unbeaten side in this edition.

The Capitals' balanced squad, led by a solid middle-order batting unit and a formidable spin-bowling attack, has been instrumental in their flawless run. As the two sides gear up for a high-octane clash, all eyes will be on RCB's march towards their first home win of the season. If they fail to do so, DC could steamroll their way to a fourth consecutive win this season.

Pitch Report

The surface at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is famously known for its batting-friendly nature, especially in the first half of the game. However, the bowlers (mostly pacers) might get some help in the second innings. The average score here has been 192 runs while the average first-innings score is 202. So, the toss-winning skipper will look ahead to bat first and defend the target under bowling-friendly conditions.

Player Picks

9
C

KL Rahul DC | BAT

The star batter has a change in his approach. Given his aggressive way of batting, Rahul can be dangerous, especially on a surface like M Chinnaswamy Stadium where one can score runs for fun.

7
C

Rajat Patidar RCB | BAT

He has been one of the best batters in the ongoing season. Against spinners, he's a beast. Patidar will be lethal due to his improved game against the pacers.

9
C

Josh Hazlewood RCB | BOWL

The right-arm pacer has bowled extremely well in the ongoing season. He can extract extra bounce from the surface and can even swing the ball early. With the old ball, Hazlewood can nail yorkers.

8.5

Tristan Stubbs DC | BAT

The South African has been arguably the best finisher in the league since 2024. It's very difficult to stop him at the death. Tristan doesn't need a lot of time to get set in the middle.

8.5

Mitchell Starc DC | BOWL

The left-arm pacer can swing the ball early on at a good pace. With the old ball, he can contain runs and even take wickets.

7

Jitesh Sharma RCB | WK

He has been underappreciated in the ongoing season. Jitesh has done a brilliant job as a glovesman and finished games well for RCB.

9

Virat Kohli RCB | BAT

On his day, Virat would not just make the most of the powerplay overs, but can also accumulate a lot of runs with his classy drives and aggressive flicks
