Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals Match Prediction – 62nd Match

The 62nd Match of the Indian Premier League 2026 will see Delhi Capitals take on Rajasthan Royals on Sunday, May 17, at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM local time (2:00 PM GMT / 7:00 AM PT / 10:00 AM ET).

Delhi Capitals enter this match with a strong and experienced squad. Their batting lineup includes Abishek Porel, KL Rahul, Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Pathum Nissanka, Prithvi Shaw, Karun Nair, Sahil Parakh, and Ashutosh Sharma. With KL Rahul, Stubbs, Miller, and Nitish Rana, DC have stability, power, and finishing ability.

DC’s all-round department also gives them good balance. Axar Patel, Ajay Jadav Mandal, Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, Tripurana Vijay, and Madhav Tiwari can contribute in more than one role. Axar Patel can be very important on the Delhi surface, while Ashutosh Sharma and Stubbs can provide late-order hitting.

Delhi’s bowling attack has pace, spin, and wicket-taking options. Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar, Dushmantha Chameera, Lungi Ngidi, Kyle Jamieson, Auqib Nabi Dar, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, and Vipraj Nigam give DC several options. Starc and Natarajan can be important with the new ball and at the death, while Kuldeep Yadav can be a major factor in the middle overs.

Rajasthan Royals come into this contest with an exciting and powerful squad. Their batting unit includes Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Shubham Dubey, Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Donovan Ferreira, Dasun Shanaka, and Brijesh Sharma. With Jaiswal, Hetmyer, Parag, and Jurel, RR have attacking intent and strong middle-order options.

RR’s all-round strength gives them useful flexibility. Riyan Parag, Ravindra Jadeja, Dasun Shanaka, Donovan Ferreira, Shubham Dubey, and Yudhvir Singh Charak can support the team in different phases. Jadeja’s experience can be crucial with both bat and ball, while Parag’s leadership and batting form may play a big role.

Rajasthan’s bowling attack has good pace and spin variety. Jofra Archer, Nandre Burger, Tushar Deshpande, Kwena Maphaka, Yudhvir Singh Charak, Adam Milne, Kuldeep Sen, Sandeep Sharma, Sushant Mishra, Ravi Bishnoi, Ravindra Jadeja, Vignesh Puthur, and Ravi Singh give RR many options. Archer can be dangerous with pace and bounce, while Bishnoi and Jadeja can be important if the pitch slows down.

The Arun Jaitley Stadium pitch in Delhi usually helps batters because of the short boundaries and quick outfield. High-scoring matches are common here, but spinners can also get help if the surface grips. Bowlers need to use variations smartly, especially in the death overs. A score of around 180-200 can be competitive at this venue.

Expert Prediction: Delhi Capitals have 51% chance and Rajasthan Royals have 49% winning chance.
