Head-to-Head: Who Holds the Edge?
In the history of the Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) holds the upper hand in head-to-head encounters against Delhi Capitals. So far, 34 matches have been played between the two sides, with RCB registering victories in 20 of those games against the Capitals. Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have managed to win only 13 matches. RCB also boasts a very impressive record at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
The two teams have faced each other in 11 matches at this venue. RCB has claimed victory in 7 of those encounters, while Delhi Capitals have succeeded in winning only 4 matches. Batting is generally considered to be relatively easy in Delhi. The short boundaries and fast outfield at the Arun Jaitley Stadium tend to work to the batsmen’s advantage. Despite this, the Delhi pitch does tend to slow down as the game progresses, offering good grip to the spinners. Consequently, the pitch often presents a challenge for the bowlers.
