DC vs RR Today’s Match Prediction

Here are some free expert tips, IPL predictions, and cricket tips to guide your betting choices.

Delhi Capitals have been the best side so far in this season, dominating opponents with their all-round performance. Sitting comfortably at the second spot on the points table, their batting, led by KL Rahul and Karun Nair, has been consistent, while their bowling unit, featuring Mitchell Starc and Kuldeep Yadav, has been clinical. On their home ground, DC will look to win their first game of the season at home with strong support from the crowd.

Rajasthan Royals have had a mixed season, as their star performers Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been boiling hot and cold, lacking consistency. RR’s bowling attack, spearheaded by Sandeep Sharma and Jofra Archer, will be crucial to counter DC’s strong batting lineup.

The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium generally favors spinners, so expect bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav and Wanindu Hasaranga to shine. Based on IPL predictions, DC’s form gives them the edge, but RR’s firepower can’t be underestimated. Follow these cricket tips to stay ahead in this exciting match!

IPL Betting Tips for DC vs RR – IPL 2025 Match 32

As per Stake.com, the Delhi Capitals have a better probability of winning the DC vs RR IPL Prediction match. Check the win probability of the two teams below.

Delhi Capitals Win Probability: 1.65

Rajasthan Royals Win Probability: 2

Now let’s move ahead and check how the players are expected to perform.

First Boundary Will be a 4

This is one safe bet, as usually you will witness a batter hitting a four as the first boundary in the match.
BET at: 1.10

First Boundary Will be a 6

‘Higher the Risk, Higher the Reward’- You don’t generally see a six hit as the first boundary, but if players like Jake Fraser-McGurk open the innings, you can take a risk.
BET at: 5.70

KL Rahul to Score over 28.5

KL Rahul is the batter in form for DC. He is currently topping the charts for DC with the most runs. Therefore, KL scoring above 28.5 runs won’t be much of a risk.
BET at: 1.83

Sanju Samson to Score over 25.5

The Rajasthan Royals’ skipper, Sanju Samson, hasn’t had the greatest of seasons so far. The wicket-keeper batter will be eager to score big in this game and prove his mettel. It could be risky to bet on his current form to score over 25.5 but we are backing him to score big in this game.
BET at: 1.83

Yashasvi Jaiswal to Score over 25.5

The RR opener is fresh off a fifty. He scored a half-century in the game against RCB and looked good. Therefore, one can expect him to score above 25 runs in this innings.
BET at: 1.83

Karun nair to Score over 21.5

The way Karun Nair batted in the last game was just exceptional. He came out of the syllabus and displayed all the hard work he did in the domestic circuit. With the form Nair is in, one can expect another big score from DC’s newest number 3.
BET at: 1.85

Jofra Archer to be the Top Bowler

Jofra Archer’s sheer pace could be intimidating for the DC batters. Upfront with the new ball, he could be lethal. Therefore, betting on him to be the top bowler in this game can be considered.
BET at: 8

Kuldeep Yadav to be the Top Bowler

Kuldeep Yadav has been exceptional for Delhi Capitals this season. The left-arm chinaman has scalped wickets in almost every game this season. Therefore, he could be a great bet in this game to be the top bowler.
BET at: 5

Most Fours- DC: 1.75; RR: 2.30; Draw: 10.50

DC’s batting lineup is more intimidating on paper. On the other hand, RR’s batting lineup has struggled this season. Therefore, if you want to take a risk, bet on RR to hit more fours.

Most Sixes- DC: 1.70; RR: 2.45; Draw: 9

Again, being a good batting lineup, DC’s odds are more towards the favorable side. However, if you want to play with risk, bet on RR to hit more sixes.

Team with Top Batter- DC: 1.75, RR: 1.95

These odds again depend on which team will have the best scoring batters. DC, with a better batting lineup, will have the edge here.

Team with Top bowler- DC: 1.80, RR: 1.90

Both teams boast a strong bowling outfit. While DC has quality spinners in Kuldeep Yadav, Vipraj Nigam, and Axar Patel, RR’s pace attack looks decent with Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma. However, the pitch is expected to assist the spinners. Therefore, expect DC spinners to have a better day at the office.

DC vs RR Head-to-Head

Total Matches: 29
DC Won: 14
RR Won: 15
No Result: 0

There is nothing much to choose between these two sides when it comes to the head-to-head battle. RR has a slight edge with 15 wins compared to DC, who have 14 from 29 matches. In the last three games as well, RR has the upper hand with 2 wins.

Team Analysis Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals

How the two teams, i.e., Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, expected to fare in IPL 2025 Match no. 24? Let’s take a look.

Delhi Capitals (DC)

  • With Jake Fraser-McGurk struggling to get going, we may see him getting dropped in this match.
  • Faf du Plessis should be fit for this fixture after missing the last game due to injury and will replace Jake Fraser at the top.
  • After a comeback for the ages, Karun Nair will keep his place in the eleven and bat at no 3.
  • There could be a toss-up between Mohit Sharma and T Natarajan for this game.

Weather Conditions and Pitch Report

From what we have witnessed in the last game, the straight boundaries have gotten a bit bigger, which has helped the bowlers. In the last game, we saw how much the ball was spinning, and there wasn’t much dew on the ground. Similar conditions can be expected for this game, as spinners could come in handy, but the batters will enjoy hitting pacers out of the park.

The weather in Delhi looks perfect for cricket, with clear skies and temperatures between 30°C and 33°C during the match. Humidity will stay at a moderate level of 28-39%, ensuring a pleasant experience for both players and fans. There’s no chance of rain, so the game should go ahead without any interruptions.
