IPL 2025: DC vs RR Match Prediction, Who Will Win Today Match 32?

In the last five DC vs RR head-to-head fixtures of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between the Delhi Capitals (DC) and the Rajasthan Royals, the latter is ahead with an advantage of 3-2 margin.

Both sides will meet each other on April 16, 2025, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium after their respective defeats in the previous fixture.

Rajasthan is in the eighth position with two wins and four defeats in six encounters, while the Capitals tasted their very first loss of the season against the Mumbai Indians.

Delhi has struggled in the first six overs of the innings in the batting department. Faf du Plessis has missed a couple of games due to injury, while Jake Fraser-McGurk is going through a bad phase in the game, with just 46 runs in five innings.

Before the DC vs RR clash, they have collected just 253 runs in five innings in the powerplay at an average of 28.11 and the second-lowest strike rate of 140.56. Losing nine wickets means they never got the chance to fire at the start, with only nine sixes coming off their bat in this period.

For the inaugural champions, it’s a different story. Rajasthan has enjoyed itself at the top with 350 runs in six innings at an average of 50 and a strike rate of 162.04, the fourth-best of all ten franchises.

Going into the DC vs. RR fixture, they have lost just seven wickets. However, unlike in the last game against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Jaipur, they will hope their captain, Sanju Samson, shows more intent at the start. The 2022 runners-up have cracked 39 boundaries and 20 over boundaries in this session, with the best score of 79 runs.
