Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) continued teir glorious away form in the IPL 2025 when they snatched a victory against the Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. This was their 6th away win, and it was courtesy a glorious all-round show from Krunal Pandya, ably assisted by the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar with the ball, and Virat Kohli with the bat. With this, they go one step further to qualifying for the IPL 2025 playoffs.

RCB now have 7 wins from 10 games, as they have gone top of the IPL 2025 points table, becoming the first team to accumulate 14 points on the board. They still have four more games remaining in their league stage campaign this season. They can guarantee their spot in the IPL 2025 playoffs, if they win just one out of their remaining four matches.

If they win two or more games, then that makes them a strong contender to even finish in the top two of the league stage, which would then give them an advantage in the playoffs.

However, if they lose all four of their remaining matches, then there is a chance that they might be knocked out of the IPL 2025.

After being put into bat first, Delhi Capitals had a decent start. But Josh Hazlewood struck the first blow as he removed Abhishek Porel for 28 runs. Karun Nair also departed after scoring just 4 runs. Faf du Plessis also departed after a struggling 22-run knock as Krunal Pandya took his wicket. Captain Axar Patel fell prey to Hazlewood as he scored 13. KL Rahul looked to get some momentum after spending some time in the middle, but departed on 41 runs.

Impact Player Ashutosh Sharma had a short stay at the crease, as he departed immediately after. After that, Tristan Stubbs and Vipraj Nigam provided some momentum to the innings, with the former scoring 34 from 18 balls. They managed to score 162/8 at he end of their 20 overs

Chasing 163 to win, RCB got off to a nervy start, as Jacob Bethell departed in the third over. A few balls later, Axar Patel took the wicket of Devdutt Padikkal. Captain Rajat Patidar departed after Karn Nair inflicted a brilliant run out. Virat Kohli and Krunal Pandya then stabilized the innings with a century stand. Krunal went on to slam his first fifty of the season. Kohli, too, managed to score a half-century. The former Indian captain departed after scoring 51. Pandya remained unbeaten on 73, while Tim David slammed a quick-fire 19 from 5 balls to guide RCB to a 6-wicket win.
