The Delhi Capitals (DC) narrowly missed clinching a victory against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in their previous encounter, yet they’ve managed to hold onto their No. 2 spot in the IPL 2025 points table. Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) are licking their wounds after a crushing 9-wicket defeat at the hands of the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Their middle-order batting lineup is crying out for a revival as they gear up for this high-stakes clash.
Pitch Report
The pitch promises to be a balanced battleground, offering assistance to both pacers and spinners. However, batters who can weather the early storm could still post big scores, making it a thrilling contest between bat and ball.

In the 29 IPL matches played between these two teams, RR have edged ahead with 15 wins, while DC have claimed victory on 14 occasions. The rivalry remains as tight as ever, setting the stage for another nail-biter.
Three Fantasy Picks
Karun Nair (DC)
Karun Nair’s blistering 89 off 40 balls against MI was a masterclass in aggressive batting, even though it wasn’t enough to secure a win for DC. His form makes him a must-have in your fantasy lineup for today’s game.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR)
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s explosive performance against RCB has cemented his place as RR’s batting spearhead. Whether he can replicate that magic today remains to be seen, but his potential to deliver big runs is undeniable.
Kuldeep Yadav (DC)
Kuldeep Yadav’s two-wicket haul in the last match, including the prized scalps of Ryan Rickelton and Suryakumar Yadav, showcased his ability to turn the game. He’ll be looking to weave his magic once again against RR’s batters.
Fantasy XI
Axar Patel (C), Sanju Samson (WK), Mitchell Starc, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Karun Nair, Kuldeep Yadav, Vipraj Nigam, Kumar Kartikeya, KL Rahul (VC).
