DC vs RR, IPL 2025 LIVE Cricket Score: Delhi Capitals scored 188 for five against Rajasthan Royals in their Indian Premier League match here on Wednesday.
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bowl first against Delhi Capitals in their IPL 2025 match on Wednesday. 
Delhi Capitals are no longer unbeaten. They suffered this season’s first defeat after a dramatic collapse against Mumbai Indians. The Axar Patel-led side hope for an improve show from their middle-order batters as they host an inconsistent Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley stadium tonight. 
Playing in their first home match of IPL 2025 in the national capital, on current form, DC were expected to beat MI but thanks to a middl-order collapse followed by a hat-trick of run outs, the brilliant 40-off 89 from Karun Nair went in vain as the hosts failed to chase down 206 runs. 
Like DC, RR also endured a defeat in their first home game of the season in Jaipur. Royal Challengers Bengaluru gave them a royal thrashing with the visitors winning by 9 wickets. RR have now lost four of their six matches so far.

“Would have bowled as well. There will be dew perhaps in the second innings, but now we are ready to bat first and put up a big score. Last game also we did well chasing, just a matter of a couple of overs here and there going in our favour. Need to look past the last game, but it is a learning experience. We discussed in the team meetings how we could have finished the game, we perhaps got too casual in the middle phase. Same team for us as well,” DC captain said.
“We’ll bowl first, looks like a good wicket. Gets better in the second half. The results and match conditions have been different. Generally the chasing team wins more often in the IPL. However, we are still early in the tournament so we want to bowl first and get an advantage. It is a competitive league, so we need to look past results sometimes. We decided as a team we need to put in a good performance whatever happens. Same team,” RR captain said.
Rajasthan Royals have won the toss and opted to field against Delhi Capitals.
A flat pitch and fast outfield will provide teams a chance to gather runs all around the ground. After winnings, the toss teams should prefer to chase.
