🏆 Final Verdict
Royal Challengers Bangalore — edge on paper
Royal Challengers Bengaluru will beat Delhi Capitals because they have a stronger batting lineup suited for the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Virat Kohli and Philip Salt can dominate the powerplay, while DC rely heavily on KL Rahul, making them slightly vulnerable.
RCB hold a clear 65% win probability heading into this match. Delhi Capitals will need strong performances from Tristan Stubbs and Kuldeep Yadav to compete. If Kuldeep does not control the middle overs, RCB are likely to secure another comfortable home win.
