Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Delhi Capitals at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, in the 26th match of IPL 2026. RCB have been on a roll as they have registered four wins in five matches and they have ticked the right boxes.

The defending champions have been brilliant with the bat as they have adopted an aggressive approach from the get-go. Rajat Patidar has led from the front as the RCB skipper is scoring his runs at a strike rate of 213 in the ongoing season.

However, RCB won their last game against Lucknow Super Giants because of their impressive bowling. They were able to skittle out the opposition for 146 after Rasikh Salam and Bhuvneshwar Kumar bagged four and three wickets respectively.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals lost their previous game against Chennai Super Kings by 23 runs as they could not come up with a collective performance. 

DC had won their opening two games but have lost their last two matches, and they would want to return to winning ways.

Head to Head: Matches: 33, Won by RCB: 20, Won by DC: 12, No result: 1.
