It is match no.32 of the Tata IPL 2025 between Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR). Both teams are coming into this encounter after suffering a loss in the previous match. We have, till now, witnessed back-to-back thrillers in the IPL and are expecting the same today.
Currently, Delhi is at the 2nd position in the points table, and they must be feeling secure in terms of qualification, but still, we have half of the IPL to go. Delhi will try to rectify their mistakes from the last match, which they lost against MI by 12 runs. Even after losing, they were not so stressed as they know they are currently in a very good position and need only 4 wins in 9 games to qualify with 16 points.
Rajasthan, on the other hand, is struggling to win matches. Rajasthan has won only 2 matches from their 6, which places them at 8th position in the points table. It will be a very challenging journey for the Royal's in the 2nd half of the IPL. Rajasthan lost their last match against RCB by 9 wickets, they need a victory to keep themselves alive in this competition.
Head-To-Head in IPL:
-

-
Delhi Capitals Wins: 14
The head-to-head record is closely contested, with RR having a slight edge.
Pitch Report:
This match will be played in the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. In the last game (DC vs MI), we saw that the pitch gets slower and slower as the match goes on, so it is preferable to bat 1st on this ground. Previously, the dew factor was used to make it easy for the chasing team, but with the 2 balls rule in the IPL, which gives you more dry ball after 12 overs in the 2nd innings, it makes the game even with the bat and the ball.
The weather in Delhi is expected to be hot and dry, with temperatures around 37°C at the start of the match, dropping to 32°C by the end. Humidity levels will range between 21% and 32%, and there's no forecast of rain. These weather conditions will slow down the pitch even more in the 2nd half of the match.
Predictions:
- The batting team 1st team might get a slight advantage over the opposition, not necessarily affect the result of the match.
- KL Rahul will score big today.
- The 1st innings predicted score is 200-220
- Delhi Capitals will win this match, regardless of batting or bowling first.
