The Delhi Capitals, after securing a terrific win over the Punjab Kings by 3 wickets at the picturesque Dharamsala, will return to their home, i.e., the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, for match 62 of Tata IPL 2026 against the inaugural champions, Rajasthan Royals. Delhi, like last season, hasn’t been a happy place for the hosts, Delhi Capitals, as they have lost five of their six games this season and registered only a solitary win that came against the 5-time champions Mumbai Indians. The Royals, meanwhile, have been derailed after starting their campaign in the best possible manner. They are still in contention for a playoff spot and need to win at least two of their remaining three fixtures to make that possible. It’s going to be one hell of a contest as both teams’ playoff aspirations rely on the result of this contest. In this post, we have compiled free expert tips for the 62nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), DC vs RR, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
The Capitals at home have been terrible, and the Royals away from home have been terrific. Yes the Royals have lost two games in a row heading into this contest, but both those losses came at their home in Jaipur, where the Royals haven’t registered a single win this season. Both teams are struggling to win games at home. Expect the Rajasthan Royals to head into this contest with the upper hand, as they will be playing away from home to keep their playoff hopes alive. The win probability meter should lean in favor of Rajasthan. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the 62nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), DC vs RR, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
RR: 67% win chance DC: 33% win chance
KL is closing in on 500 runs in this season of Tata IPL. He is one of the most consistent batters in the history of the tournament and will be a prime figure for DC in this game against the likes of Jofra Archer and Ravi Bishnoi. In the reverse fixture, KL scored a brilliant 50+ in Jaipur.
The youngster was castled by Kyle Jamieson in the reverse fixture in Jaipur for 4 runs. He will be keen to get his revenge and score heavily in this contest. Vaibhav is already RR's highest run-getter this season and will be looking to add more to his tally.
The left-hander is fresh off a fifty after returning to the leven in the last game against PBKS. Miller loves batting against RR as he averages around 60 against them. He will be a key figure in the middle-order for DC.
The RR wicket-keeper batter has been a silent contributor this season. Batting at no 3, Dhruv has amassed 314 runs so far in the season from 11 innings with 3 fifties. He will be a key player in the middle order.
Check out our prediction for the DC vs RR Indian Premier League 2026 match 62.
The Delhi Capitals (DC) have pushed themselves into a corner after a humiliating 8‑wicket defeat to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. That result marked their sixth loss of the season, leaving their playoff chances hanging by a thread.
Next up, DC host the three‑time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in match 51 of the Tata IPL 2026. Their home record has been abysmal, with just one win in five games, and another defeat here would virtually end their playoff aspirations. To stay alive, the Capitals must win all their remaining four fixtures, a daunting task given their inconsistency.
Captain Axar Patel has come under scrutiny, particularly for his lack of runs with the bat. The management faces tough calls regarding the opening combination alongside KL Rahul. Options include Sahil Parakh, Abishek Porel, or Prithvi Shaw, while the possible return of David Miller could further alter the lineup. For Delhi, this is a do‑or‑die phase. A collective turnaround in batting and bowling is the only way they can keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) head into match 62 of the Tata IPL 2026, desperate to halt a slide that has seen them lose two consecutive games. After starting their campaign in the best possible manner, the Royals have been derailed, but they remain firmly in contention for a playoff spot. To secure qualification, RR must win at least two of their remaining three fixtures.
Interestingly, both recent defeats came at their home ground in Jaipur, where they have failed to register a single win this season. Away from home, however, the Royals have been far more effective, and this clash against the Delhi Capitals (DC) offers them a chance to bounce back. Both sides share similar recent form, with two wins and three losses in their last five matches.
Historically, RR’s record in Delhi is mixed, with 6 wins and 7 losses in 14 matches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Standing 6th on the points table with 6 wins and 5 losses from 11 games, the Royals cannot afford another setback. A third straight defeat would not only dent confidence but also jeopardize their playoff ambitions. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.

The Royals, meanwhile, are in a better position than their counterparts and will look to avenge their loss from the reverse fixture in Jaipur. A win here for RR would knock DC out of the playoff race, completing a full circle for a side eager to settle scores.
