IPL 2026: Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Preview Odds & Predictions

Delhi Capitals will face defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match 39 of the Indian Premier League at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday, April 27.

Delhi Capitals Preview

Delhi Capitals are currently experiencing a mixed run of form in their games, and they will come into this match on the back of two losses in a row and have only managed just one win from their last five games. The Capitals made it two losses in a row as they were beaten by six wickets in just 18.5 overs despite posting 264 runs in their game against the Punjab Kings. The hosts have only managed to win three games from seven, and as a result, they sit seventh in the point standings with six points.

Delhi Capitals XI

Prithvi Shaw, KL Rahul (wk), Nitish Rana, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (c), David Miller, Kyle Jamieson, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, T Natarajan, Dushmantha Chameera

Impact Player: Sameer Rizvi

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are in better form in the ongoing Indian Premier League campaign as they have lost just two matches from their opening seven. RCB will head here on the back of a five-wicket win over the Gujarat Titans, which comes as a much needed response to their six-wicket defeat to the Delhi Capitals. They sit third on the point standings with ten points from seven games, and a win in this game can take them as high as second.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru XI:

Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Rajat Patidar (c), Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Mangesh Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Suyash Sharma

Impact Player: Devdutt Padikkal

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Prediction

Delhi Capitals will arrive in this game on the back of huge confidence after already beating RCB earlier in the season by six wickets. However, with DC experiencing poor bowling performance and the absence of Lungi Ngidi, I think RCB will win the game. My prediction is a win for RCB with 1xBet offering 1.74 odds.
