The 46th match of IPL 2025 will be played between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Earlier this season, Delhi had handed RCB a heavy defeat at their home ground. However, this time, Virat Kohli’s Bengaluru side will be aiming to take revenge by defeating Delhi on their home turf. One of the biggest challenges for RCB will be KL Rahul, who is currently in outstanding form. That said, beating Delhi at their home ground won’t be an easy task for Bengaluru. Let’s take a look at how the pitch is expected to behave and whether it will favour the batters or the bowlers.
