Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals match preview

The 2025 IPL heads to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Thursday (AEST) as the in-form Delhi Capitals (DC) look to get back on track against a Rajasthan Royals (RR) side desperate to spark their season to life.

The Capitals started their campaign in red-hot fashion with four consecutive victories, but their winning streak was snapped on Sunday in a frustrating 12-run loss to Mumbai.

Delhi looked in control for large parts of the chase, only to suffer a late collapse that saw them lose three wickets to runouts in a chaotic finish. Still, they remain in second place and will be buoyed by their overall form.

Rajasthan, on the other hand, find themselves near the foot of the table after suffering their fourth defeat in six games.

A promising knock of 75 from Yashasvi Jaiswal wasn’t enough to stop Royal Challengers Bangalore from comfortably chasing down 174 in their most recent match.

These two teams have a history of close encounters, with Delhi edging the head-to-head 15-14 over 29 matches. But with both sides coming off losses, this clash could be a crucial turning point in their respective campaigns.

Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals predictions

Delhi have looked one of the most composed and balanced teams this season. Despite the loss to Mumbai, they still boast a healthy net run rate and a strong bowling attack led by Kuldeep Yadav. With home advantage and a sharper top order, they are favourites for a reason with top sports bookmakers to bounce back against a Royals side that has lacked consistency.

Despite a reputation as a batter-friendly venue, the Arun Jaitley Stadium hasn’t produced six-fests this season. Only 17 sixes were hit in Delhi’s last home game, and with Rajasthan’s firepower misfiring and DC still figuring out their best batting order, a relatively subdued scoring affair could be on the cards.

Wanindu Hasaranga’s variations and experience in spin-friendly conditions make him a genuine threat in Delhi. Spinners have dominated in recent matches here, and the Sri Lankan leggie looks well placed to exploit the surface and deliver value as RR’s standout bowler at +360 with BetOnline.
