DC vs RR Dream11 Prediction for Today Match of IPL 2025
DC vs RR Match Preview
The action continues in the Indian T20 League as Delhi Capitals take on Rajasthan Royals in Match 32 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on April 16. So let’s look at DC vs RR Dream11 Prediction for Today Match of IPL 2025.
DC will come into this match high on momentum, having won four out of their five games. Despite a narrow loss to Mumbai Indians in their last outing, the Capitals look balanced with strong performances from KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mitchell Starc. Their batting unit has been firing consistently, while Kuldeep’s spin has choked runs in the middle overs.
In contrast, RR are desperate for a turnaround. With only two wins from six matches, they sit lower on the table with a negative NRR (-0.838). Skipper Sanju Samson and opener Yashasvi Jaiswal have been among the runs, but their bowling has lacked penetration, putting them under pressure in key moments. Wanindu Hasaranga’s return to form offers some hope, but the Royals will need a complete team effort to challenge Delhi at home.
