RCB vs DC Match Preview, IPL 2025 โ€“ Match 24

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) Preview

RCB have started IPL 2025 with renewed confidence. After a thrilling 12-run win over Mumbai Indians, they look more settled, both with bat and ball. The top order is led by an in-form Virat Kohli, who has already scored 167 runs in 4 matches. Rajat Patidar, with a blistering 64 in the last game, and Jitesh Sharma, finishing strong with 40 off 19, have made the middle-order look fearsome.

Bowling, RCBโ€™s Achilles heel in past seasons, has shown signs of improvement. Krunal Pandya, Josh Hazlewood, and Yash Dayal are delivering key breakthroughs, while Bhuvneshwar Kumar brings stability with the new ball.

Predicted Playing XI:

Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar (c), Liam Livingstone, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, Yash Dayal

Delhi Capitals (DC) Preview

Their bowling attack, led by Mitchell Starc, who has taken 9 wickets in 3 games, and Kuldeep Yadav, is suffocating oppositions with tight spells. Even without the flashiest names, DC are operating with precision and intent.
