DC vs RR Dream11 Prediction, IPL 2025: The IPL 2025 caravan rolls into Delhi as the in-form Delhi Capitals (DC) take on the struggling Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 32 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Wednesday, April 16.

With four wins in their last five games, DC have been one of the more consistent sides this season, despite a narrow 12-run defeat to Mumbai Indians in their last outing. Meanwhile, RR find themselves in a desperate position, having lost four out of six matches.

The Royals were completely outplayed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their previous game, falling to a nine-wicket defeat. A win here could provide the spark they desperately need, but it won't be easy against a dominant DC outfit playing in their fortress.
