RCB vs DC IPL 2026: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Stats, Records & Key Numbers

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru are set to face off against the Delhi Capitals in Match 26 of the 2026 Indian Premier League at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on April 18. 

The defending champions have kicked off their 2026 season in impressive style, racking up four wins out of five games, including three victories at home. 

In their latest match, they comfortably defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by five wickets in a low-scoring affair on a tricky pitch. They’ll be eager to keep their winning streak alive as the Delhi Capitals come to town. Their squad has been strengthened by the return of Aussie speedster Josh Hazlewood, who earned the player of the match award against LSG. 

On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals are coming off a six-day break after their away defeat to the Chennai Super Kings. They began their season with two strong wins, but their momentum has taken a hit with back-to-back losses to the Gujarat Titans and the Chennai Super Kings.

They have struggled to assert themselves with the bat during the middle overs, losing crucial wickets and failing to build on solid starts in the powerplay. They’re still waiting for the return of their Aussie pacer Mitchell Starc, who is currently sidelined with a shoulder injury. 

Over the years, these two teams have delivered some thrilling encounters. Both are among the more balanced sides in the 2026 season, but the Capitals have been feeling the sting of recent defeats. They’ll be aiming to get back on track when they visit one of the most challenging venues in the IPL.
