Preview: Delhi Capitals were the only team which won its first four matches in IPL 2025. However, their winning streak was snapped by Mumbai Indians in their most recent fixture at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi had the match in their hands at one stage in their pursuit of a 206-run target. From 119/1 in 10.2 overs, the Capitals were bowled out for 193 in 19 overs. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, are languishing at No. 8 on the points table. They lost their first two games before winning the next two. However, they are winless in their last couple of matches. They lost to Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their last game by nine wickets. The Rajat Patidar-led side chased a 174-run target with nine wickets and 15 balls to spare.
Indian Premier League 2025, 32nd Match, DC vs RR
Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi
Date & Time: Wednesday, April 16, 7:30 PM
Pitch Report: The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi can be described as a paradise for batters. The outfield is quick, and the boundaries are short. A lot of runs are expected to be scored on Wednesday. The captain who wins the toss would be tempted to bat first and set up a formidable total on the board. Unless there’s dew in the second innings, chasing monstrous targets is not going to be easy.
