The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is all set to host match no. 32 of Tata IPL 2025. The home team, Delhi Capitals, will be hosting their neighbors, the Rajasthan Royals, in what is expected to be a thriller of a contest.
Despite a blip in the last game against Mumbai Indians at home, the Delhi Capitals have looked like a team to beat. They have been exceptional in executing their plans and have adapted to conditions pretty well wherever they have played. From 5 matches, DC has managed 4 wins and a loss and currently sits second on the points table. A win here will take them to the top of the pile.
The Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have managed to win only 2 matches out of 6. They haven’t been close to their best and have lacked consistency. Reeling at the 8th spot on the points table, Royals need to buckle up quickly to get their tournament campaign back on track. A win in this game could take RR closer to the top 5 on the table.
Will Delhi Capitals finally register their first win of the season at home, or will the Rajasthan Royals spoil the party of the home team? We will find out soon. Let’s delve deeper into this post for DC vs RR Dream11 Prediction.

When it comes to head-to-head clashes, there’s very little separating these two teams. Rajasthan Royals hold a slight advantage with 15 victories, while Delhi Capitals have 14 wins out of their 29 encounters. Even in their last three meetings, RR has maintained the upper hand, winning two of those matches.
In the previous game, the straight boundaries appeared slightly larger, giving bowlers some much-needed relief. The pitch offered noticeable turn, making spinners a key factor, while the absence of significant dew kept conditions steady. Similar conditions are likely for this match, where spinners could play a crucial role, but batters will still relish the opportunity to take on the pacers and clear the ropes, as the average first innings score is somewhere around 165.
