DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Tim David walks out and basically asks the rest of his teammate why in the world they took such a long time to chase this down. Mukesh Kumar gets the ball for the 19th over, his first ball is a low full toss and David, facing his second delivery of the day, blasts it back over the bowler's head for the flattest most incredible of sixes. Another full toss next ball, this time David rocks back sends it over square leg for a one-bounce four. This was full toss was above the waist as well and so a no ball. The free-hit delivery is another full toss, missed yorker outside off, David sends it past point for another four. Mukesh misses a yorker on middle stump to finish it off, David flicks it away to fine leg for a four. He has finished with 19 off five, a cool strike rate of 380.00 and nothing less. Krunal Pandya unbeaten on 73 off 47. RCB have ground out a sixth consecutive win away from home, the first team in IPL history to do it.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Dushmantha Chameera with a wicket that would've been celebrated much more if it had come an over back. Chameera takes the pace off, Kohli goes downtown but he can't get enough distance on it. Caught at long off.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: This chase is now right up Virat Kohli's alley and it is largely because Krunal Pandya has done an exemplary job of keeping up the run rate. Krunal ends then 15th over from Axar with a four past deep fine leg and he gets to 53 in 38 balls with that. Kohli, meanwhile is on 41 off 39 and this chase is now right up his alley.

RCB 93/3, need 70 to win from 42 balls.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB's required rate is now approaching 10 an over but the presence of Virat Kohli there means that DC will never really feel that they are truly on top. Kohli rocks back and hits the fifth ball of the 10th from Kuldeep square on the leg side for a four but RCB need many, many more of those.

Kohli on 28 off 26, Pandya on 17 off 21.

RCB 64/3 in 10 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: But DC burn a review in that over as well. Big appeal for LBW against Pandya fourth ball, not given. Axar takes the review walking in from the boundary and it looks like both Rahul and Kuldeep are a little surprised by the call. Ball-tracking confirms that the impact is outside off.

RCB 50/3 in 8 overs, need 113 to win from 72

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: They are going at a run rate of 5.83 and their required rate is 9.14. Just four runs off the fifth over by Axar and then five off the sixth by Starc. Vipraj Nigam to bowl the first over after the powerplay.

RCB 35/3 in 6 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli has sold his captain short here but wow what a gun throw that is from Karun Nair! Kohli clips the last ball of the fourth bowled by Mukesh Kumar to midwicket and charges down the ground before suddenly sending Patidar back. Karun Nair is quick to pick the ball up and rifles it onto the stumps at the non-striker's end.

Patidar run out (Nair) 6 (6)

RCB 26/3 in 4 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The captain does the job for DC. Axar has turned the tide early in the powerplay.

RCB 20/1 in 2.2 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: All right, it's Jacob Bethel who opens with Virat Kohli. No surprises there. Mitchell Starc bowls the first over for DC. No surprises there either.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Bhuvneshwar Kumar has gone past Piyush Chawla and is now the second highest wicket-taker in the history of the IPL. Vipraj Nigam sacrificed himself trying to get Stubbs back on strike second ball and Stubbs pulled square the fourth ball for four. The then fell next ball. This is DC's lowest score this season after batting the full 20 overs.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Some big hits at long last for DC. Yash Dayal bowls the 19th over, no runs should have come off the first ball, Patidar has a shy at the stumps, Kohli runs off his line while backing up, probably trying to pick and throw the ball quickly for a run out. He only picks up air though, as the ball just goes under his scooping hands and to the boundary. Vipraj Nigam takes a single after that and then Stubbs hammers Dayal right back down the ground for four. The fourth ball is reverse scooped for six. The last is sent down the ground again for four.

Stubbs on 29 off 14, Nigam on 12 off five.

DC 156/6 in 19 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Ashutosh Sharma brought out as Impact Player for DC and he leaves without making any impact. Bhuvi takes all the pace out from the fifth ball of the over, Ashutosh saw it coming down the leg side, he decides to place it behind square and he does all that before the ball even got to him. Clean bowled.

Ashutosh Sharma b Kumar 2 (3)

DC 120/6 in 16.5 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Bhuvneshwar stops Rahul from taking off in the death overs and well, this has ended up becoming exactly the kind of innings that the latter was derided for repeatedly in the past.

Rahul sweeps his first ball for a four and then takes a single. Hazlewood's fourth delivery is flat, doesn't lift off from a good length at all.

Axar Patel b Hazlewood 15 (13)

DC 102/4 in 13.4 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Just no let off for DC at the moment.

Axar Patel on seven off eight balls, Rahul on 24 off as many balls.

DC 87/3 in 12 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Score 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB's former captain holes out to another former RCB captain and Du Plessis's innings ends up being a sluggish one for a change.

DC 63/2 in 8 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Du Plessis manages to put the fifth ball of that sixth over by Hazlewood back over the bowler's head for fout.

Du Plessis on 14 off 16, Rahul on four off six.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Now Yash Dayal strikes and Karun Nair is gone for a run-a-ball four. Short from Dayan fourth ball of the fifth over, Nair is cramped on his pull and he skies it. Bhuvneshwar makes no mistake with the catch.

DC 33/1 in 3.4 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Du Plessis gets off strike second ball and then Porel goes big leg side, just clears the fielder diving at around deep backward square. Bethel was the man, good effort but no cigar. Two runs off the next ball, largely because Romario Shepherd put his body on the line to prevent a four at long on and then sweet, sweet connection for Porel with Bhuvi giving him a rasgulla down the leg side. Swung away for six. Two runs off the last ball.

DC 32/0 in 3 overs

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: The first ball from Bhuvi was full on leg and swinging in, Porel just helped it along its way through fine leg for four. Four more singles in that over. Porel on six off three, Du Plessis on two off three.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Faf du Plessis, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul(w), Axar Patel(c), Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Dushmantha Chameera, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: There are some corners of social media that like to accuse the Indian star they love to hate as "statpadders" and Kohli tends to be at the receiving end of this more often than not. They might be quite surprised, and maybe somewhat dismayed, to find out that RCB have won all games where Kohli has scored a half-century this season. Since 2024, RCB have won nine out of 11 games where he has scored 50 or more.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Mitchell Starc may have been a tough opponent for Virat Kohli to face in international cricket but the Indian great has had a better record against his great Australian rival in the IPL.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli is today playing at the ground where he first cut his teeth before embarking on his astonishing international career.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: RCB have a very favourable head-to-head record against DC.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Kuldeep Yadav has excelled as Delhi Capitals' enforcer-in-chief in the middle overs.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Virat Kohli has a fairly good record over the years against Delhi Capitals/Daredevils. He has scored 1103 runs at an average of 50.13 and has a strike rate of 136.67 against the Delhi team in all T20s (IPL and CLT20), with 10 fifties. Kohli also averages 60.45 at the Arun Jaitley stadium in T20s.

DC vs RCB IPL Live Updates 2025, Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, KL Rahul(w), Axar Patel(c), Tristan Stubbs, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Dushmantha Chameera, Mukesh Kumar, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Sameer Rizvi, Madhav Tiwari, Donovan Ferreira, Tripurana Vijay, Darshan Nalkande, Faf du Plessis, T Natarajan, Ajay Jadav Mandal, Manvanth Kumar L, Mohit Sharma
