IPL 2025 DC vs RR Match Prediction: Who will win today’s match? Best Possible Playing 11, Pitch Reports, Best Fantasy 11 and more
IPL 2025 DC vs RR Match Prediction: The Delhi Capitals will play consecutive matches against the Rajasthan Royals on their home ground, though they did not have the best of starts on their home ground, despite making a great start in the IPL.
The Capitals from the capital city of India, maintained an undefeated streak until their campaign was cut short by the Mumbai Indians in the last game on this same venue. They will be looking to back their winning ways and restore their hold on to the top position of the points table.
The Rajasthan Royals top-order has wanted to stabilise their attack but their batting has been a major disappointment in this edition. The Royals have been decent in the powerplay but have lost their touch while it drops significantly during the middle overs and finishing has been a more difficult job for the Royals towards the end phase of the innings. They lack staunch big-hitters down the order, except for Shimron Hetmyer, who has not been at the best of starts.

In recent years, the shortest format of the game, Delhi has been a prolific high-scoring ground due to the shortest dimensions which facilitates clearing the fence easily. The last 10 T20 games included a score of more than 200 every time, the team batting first won on this venue.
However, spinners like Kuldeep Yadav, Vipraj Nigam, Karn Sharma and Mitchell Santner all picked wickets and bowled some stunning balls as well, hence portraying that some spin is on offer at this venue.

IPL 2025 DC vs RR Match Prediction: Winner Prediction
The game totally looks in favour of the informed Delhi Capitals, who have batted and bowled stunningly this season. While KL Rahul can be promoted to the top of the order in the absence of Faf, this would mark a beneficial change for the Capitals. The Royals on the other hand have seriously struggled with the bat, with the skipper as well as Parag not getting to a pile of runs. The short ground dimensions would affect the game and bring the boundary riders into the match, while the team that is overpowered with spinners might head to a win in this clash of the neighbouring cities.
