The Delhi Capitals will be playing against Rajasthan Royals which is likely to be an electrifying encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi, this Wednesday. Delhi, running strong with four victories from their five games, are placed second on the IPL 2025 standings. Rajasthan, on the other hand, have not been able to find any rhythm, winning just two games from six and sitting at eighth place.
With the Capitals boasting a strong and deep batting line-up, fans can expect another high scoring match given Delhi’s current form, especially at home, they’ll be eyeing a dominant display.
DC Vs RR: Pitch Report
The Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch has been a batters’ paradise in the past. The pitch has good pace and bounce in the initial stages, enabling stroke-makers to come alive. But, as the match advances, the pitch slows down a bit, introducing slower bowlers and spinners into the match. 180–200 scores are par here, with the shorter run boundaries and quick outfield.
DC Vs RR: Toss Strategy
Considering the conditions and pitch behavior, the best toss call would be to bat first. The teams that put up a huge score on the board are better at putting pressure in the second innings, particularly under the lights when the pitch is slowing down. With heat being a consideration, defending during cooler hours after sunset would also be the more pleasant option.
DC Vs RR: Weather Forecast
Wednesday’s match will be held under the hot Delhi sun. The day is likely to be a sizzling 39°C, while the evening sees the temperature drop only marginally to about 29°C. The players will need to deal with the heat and drink plenty of water, as the extreme conditions may be contributory to on-field weariness and tactics.
