RCB eye first home win of IPL 2025 against DC

Meanwhile, RCB will be eager to register their first win of the IPL 2025 season at home. They began their campaign with two solid wins away from home as they first beat defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens and then trashed Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk.

Playing their first home game against Gujarat Titans, they suffered an eight-wicket defeat. They then bounced back with a thrilling win against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede. With three wins from four games, the hosts will be confident coming into this game.

However, they will be keen to win at home, something which they have struggled to do more often than not. Moreover, Delhi Capitals are unbeaten coming into this game with three wins from as many matches.

It will, therefore, be a tough test for the home team as they look to beat Delhi at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
