New Delhi: Delhi Capitals (DC) will square off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the 46th clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Sunday. It will be a return fixture for the two teams, which earlier locked horns on April 10 in Bengaluru, and DC turned out to be the winner, claiming the match by six wickets.
The visiting Delhi side had invited RCB to bat first, and they could manage 163/7 in their stipulated 20 overs. Phil Salt and Tim David both scored 37, while Virat Kohli contributed 22. In response, KL Rahul almost single-handedly took DC over the line with his unbeaten 93-run knock as he showcased what home dominance actually is. DC achieved the target in just 17.5 overs with home boy Rahul claiming the spotlight. Can RCB exact revenge on Sunday night?

Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have faced each other in 32 matches in the Indian Premier League. Out of these 32 games, RCB have won 19, whereas DC have emerged victorious on 12 occasions, while one game ended with no outcome. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, RCB holds a 6-4 edge against DC. As it is a return clash of the season between the two teams, DC won the last game by six wickets.
According to Accuweather, it will be “very hot and hazy” in Delhi during the daytime, with a very poor air quality as well. There will be a bit of cloud cover, but that won’t bring any rain or thunderstorms. The sky would clear up as the night approached, which means the game can run smoothly. The temperature would vary between 26 to 42 degrees Celsius.
The track at the Arun Jaitley Stadium usually favours the batters, which makes it a high-scoring arena. The venue has already hosted two games in the season so far, and both saw plenty of runs getting scored. The ground is known for its flat surface and shorter boundaries, which further adds to the batter’s advantage. Another run-fest can be expected on Sunday night, as currently the two teams are in strong form.
