DC vs RCB, WPL 2025: Toss result and playing 11s for today’s match, umpires list and pitch report

Delhi Capitals (DC) are facing Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match number four of WPL 2025 at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara. The game is being touted as a rematch of the WPL 2024 final in which RCB beat DC by eight wickets. Both teams got their campaign in the ongoing edition off to a positive start, winning their respective opening matches.

Delhi registered a close two-run victory over Mumbai Indians (MI) in their opening encounter. The game saw some contentious decisions going in DC's favor, but they would be pleased with two points on the board. Bowling first, DC held MI to 164 as Annabel Sutherland claimed three wickets and Shikha Pandey two. Shafali Verma (43 off 18) and Niki Prasad (35 off 33) starred in the chase.

RCB's injury-hit campaign suffered another blow with off-spinner Shreyanka Patil also being ruled out. She has been replaced by Sneh Rana, who was unsold at the auction. To their credit, Bengaluru did well to beat Gujarat Giants (GG) by six wickets in their opening match. Richa Ghosh (64* off 27) and Ellyse Perry (57 off 34) starred in a record chase of 202.

Today's DC vs RCB pitch report

“Same surface that was used last evening. Although it's a used surface, there’s not much wear and tear. It’s hard and rolled well and going to skid and keep a little low. There are some cracks, so if the bowler bowls in these areas, they might get turn.” - Mithali Raj and Anjum Chopra
