Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are among the top contenders in the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). Both teams have been in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since 2008. However, both franchises have failed to win the title, as of May 2025. RCB has reached the IPL final three times (2009, 2011, and 2016), while DC has made it to the IPL final once in 2020 under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer.

RCB and DC are both hoping to clinch their maiden title in 2025 under their new captains Rajat Patidar and Axar Patel, respectively. The two teams have faced off against each other in the IPL 2025 league stage on April 10 in Bengaluru. DC went on to win their 4th game in the IPL 2025 after successfully chasing down a target of 164. The two teams again locked horns in a reverse fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on April 27, 2025. This time, RCB got the better of DC as they won the game by six wickets with nine balls remaining. RCB restricted DC to just 162 in the first inning. At one stage, RCB found themselves at 26/3 in four overs, but Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya's 119-run stand for the fourth wicket made sure that the team got over the line comfortably in the end.
