The IPL ledger between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru stands at 35 meetings: 21 Bengaluru wins, 13 Delhi wins and one no-result through 27 April 2026. The latest meeting was emphatic rather than close—RCB dismissed DC for 75 in Delhi and reached 77/1 in 6.3 overs.
The previous encounter that month was much tighter. Delhi had chased 176 in Bengaluru with one ball remaining, after RCB posted 175/8. Those different 2026 finishes capture why the series is more useful as a dated record than a prediction of the next game. Delhi’s earlier Delhi Daredevils seasons and Bengaluru’s former Bangalore name belong to the same two franchise histories counted below.

RCB lead the decision tally 21–13. The only no-result came in Bengaluru on 17 May 2015: Delhi made 187/5, but rain ended the chase with RCB on 2/0 after 1.1 overs. It counts as a meeting, not a win. A 2013 fixture ended with both teams on 152 in regulation; RCB won the one-over eliminator. This table awards that match to the official winner, rather than listing it as an unresolved tie.
