The IPL 2025 season continues to thrill fans with close contests and individual brilliance, and Match 24 between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) proved just that. In a high-stakes game at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, DC came out on top with a convincing 6-wicket win, chasing down a competitive target of 164 with 13 balls to spare. The result has significant ramifications on the points table, as DC now climbs to the second position with four wins in four games and an impressive net run rate of +1.257.
Batting first, RCB managed 163/7 in their 20 overs. Phil Salt gave them a flying start with 37 off 17 balls, while Tim David played a valuable unbeaten knock of 37 from 20 deliveries. Rajat Patidar contributed 25 runs. However, DC bowlers kept things in check, with Kuldeep Yadav (2/17) and Vipraj Nigam (2/18) proving instrumental in the middle overs. Mohit Sharma also chipped in with a tidy spell, picking up 1/10 in his two overs.
In response, DC's chase was powered by a magnificent knock from KL Rahul, who remained unbeaten on 93 from 53 balls. He found excellent support from Tristan Stubbs (38 off 23), while Axar Patel (15 off 11) helped finish the chase in style. Despite early pressure, DC’s batters kept the required rate under control, never letting the RCB bowlers settle. Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 2/26, while Suyash Sharma and Yash Dayal also picked up wickets.
This result propels DC to second on the table with 8 points from 34 matches and an unbeaten record. RCB, despite the loss, remains third on the table thanks to their superior Net Run Rate. Gujarat Titans (GT) continue to lead the standings with 8 points from 5 matches, while PBKS, LSG, and KKR make up the mid-table battle. The bottom three teams – MI, CSK, and SRH are struggling with only one win each from five games.
With the league stage heating up, every match is now crucial for teams aiming for playoff qualification. The next few games promise to further shake up the standings as the IPL 2025 season reaches its midpoint.
