IPL 2025: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of RCB vs DC Match

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will go head-to-head with Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 24 of IPL 2025 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on April 10. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM (IST), with both teams hoping to make the most of the conditions on offer.

This stadium is famous for high-scoring games, with an average first-innings score of 178. The outfield is lightning quick, the boundaries are short, and once a batter gets going, the runs come fast. The venue has seen 95 IPL matches so far, with chasing teams winning 50 times, slightly ahead of teams batting first who’ve won 41.

However, the pitch for this match has a visible green tinge, and it’s not the same one used for the game against Gujarat Titans. That means bowlers, especially pacers, could see some early movement off the surface. This might make the first few overs challenging for batters, particularly under lights. The track earlier in the tournament behaved similarly, offering a bit to those who can swing or seam the ball.

RCB’s top order could find it slightly tricky early on if DC’s pace attack hits the right areas. That said, once the ball gets older and the swing fades, the pitch should settle down into a typical Bengaluru batting track. If RCB can handle the new ball well, their home advantage still puts them in a strong position.
