Home side Delhi Capitals can return to the top of the IPL 2025 points table with a win on Wednesday night at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in match No. 32 against the Rajasthan Royals. They slipped to the second position after their first loss of the season in the last match against Mumbai Indians at home on Sunday.

Rajasthan Royals have had a torrid time with just 2 wins so far this season. Captain Sanju Samson will hope to turn their fortunes around in the city he once called his home.
Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Scores and Updates: Jofra Archer returns to the attack and starts with 3 runs from two balls as DC struggle to find boundaries. Whenever it seems like they might get one, there’s always a fielder positioned perfectly in the area. DC desperately need to pick up the pace here. And just as they try, Rahul goes down, attempting to accelerate. They’re reviewing whether Hetmyer’s catch is valid, and it’s confirmed to be fair!
Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Scores and Updates: Sandeep Sharma carries on and begins with a pinpoint yorker that Porel just manages to dig out. He follows it up with a single, handing the strike to Rahul. Only one more run comes from the next two balls as RR continue to apply pressure and keep things tight in this DC innings. Just a couple to finish the over. Only 4 runs from it in total.
Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Scores and Updates: Sandeep Sharma comes into the attack and there’s immediate drama—almost a run-out! He gathers the ball and fires it at the stumps, and it hits! Unfortunately for Nair, he’s caught well short at the non-striker’s end. A frustrating and unfortunate way to depart for him.
Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Scores and Updates: Archer continues from the other end. Porel blocks the first ball solidly, then nudges the next one for a single. And there it is—Fraser-McGurk departs! Tries to go after the delivery but ends up slicing it straight to Jaiswal, who makes no mistake with the catch.
Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Scores and Updates: Tushar Deshpande comes into the attack now, with Porel on strike. He begins with a full toss drifting onto the pads easily tucked away for four! A freebie to start. The next delivery is sliced, clearly not where Porel aimed, but it still races away to the fence! And it just keeps getting better, Porel unleashes a stunning pick-up shot that sails over fine leg for a maximum! The following ball is expertly guided to the ropes yet again! Tushar looks completely stunned. Now a short one, and Porel pulls it away for another four! Tough luck for the bowler—22 runs already from the over. A single to finish.
Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Scores and Updates: Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel are set to open the innings for DC. Jofra Archer takes the new ball. He begins with two dot deliveries as Fraser-McGurk struggles to get off the mark. But then Archer offers width on the third ball cracked away for four! And again! This time lofted over the infield, landing in the same region for another boundary. Fraser-McGurk rotates the strike with a single, leaving Porel to face the remainder of the over. Just one more run to wrap up the first.
RR won the toss and elected to bowl first

Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, IPL 2025 LIVE Scores and Updates: The boundaries stretch 61 meters on one side and 62 meters on the other, with a straight boundary measuring 72 meters. Not exactly ideal conditions for bowlers. The pitch has proven to be a good one for batting as seen in the previous match where 205 runs were put on the board. Today, it appears a bit drier, which should offer some help to the bowlers. There’s a fair amount of grass, though it’s uneven in patches. Last season, the average winning total here was 230, but this pitch should offer more grip, especially for spinners and pacers using variations. Overall, it seems like a balanced wicket, offering something for both bat and ball. However, given the shorter boundaries, bowlers will need to be extra sharp, according to Greame Swann and Shane Watson.
