Delhi Capitals Vs Rajasthan Royals Match Scorecard

DC held their nerve in a seesaw contest and won convincingly. Abishek Porel and KL Rahul kept RR within striking distance before an unexpected run out from Parag hindered their chances, as reflected in the Delhi Capitals Vs Rajasthan Royals Match Scorecard.

Of those 29 matches, RR have taken 15 victories against DC with Jos Buttler hitting an unbeaten 116 not out and Prasidh Krishna taking three wickets with Prasidh Krishna taking three wickets as part of an historic nine-wicket win at SMS Stadium Jaipur.

Matches at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium

Sawai Mansingh Stadium (formerly SMS Stadium), situated in Jaipur and established during Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II’s rule in 1969, is one of India’s premier cricket venues.

Seating up to 30,000 spectators, this landmark serves both international and domestic cricket matches and serves as home ground of Rajasthan Royals in Indian Premier League tournament.

The stadium is an energetic cricketing hub that comes alive during IPL matches with an electric atmosphere and passionate supporters.

It is well known for hosting high-scoring chases as well as spinners in the middle overs, while offering grip for spinners during fast bowlers’ middle overs spells. Furthermore, this stadium has hosted both ODI and Test matches as well as two World Cup tournaments (in 1987 and 1996).

Though well-known for its rich history and lively atmosphere, this venue also attracts mixed reviews regarding its facilities and overall spectator experience.

Many reviewers note that some infrastructure needs upgrading – something which could negatively impact spectator enjoyment – while also lacking shaded seating can make watching matches during daytime uncomfortable.

Despite these challenges, Wankhede Stadium continues to draw fans from across India. Furthermore, it serves as training base for Rajasthan Royals’, one of the most successful teams in IPL with seven titles won and finishing top four each season; among their notable performances include Jos Buttler’s 116 off 65 balls at Wankhede in 2022 and Shane Watson’s 3/10 against Delhi Capitals in 2008. Furthermore, their academy programs have expanded for increased player development.

Super Overs

The Super Over is the tie-breaker in all forms of limited overs cricket which ends in a tie, providing an exciting way for captains to decide who gets to bat and bowl in an intense six ball encounter that lasts six balls and features wides or no balls as extras, in an attempt to score maximum runs within that time period. Batters must show great form while bowlers need to show composure under pressure from opposing batsmen and bowlers.

Super Over was first used to settle an IPL 2025 match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals after both teams scored 176 in their regulation innings; and then was used again four more tied matches since.

DC kept their nerve in the final over to seal victory, leaving RR captain Sanju Samson disappointed but crediting Delhi’s bowling, particularly Mitchell Starc’s final over. Samson acknowledged the difficult conditions on the pitch for any batter but commended RR’s attitude, saying they never quit and boast an ideal mix of youth and experience players.

Samson also lauded Starc as one of the world’s premier bowlers – with an impeccable plan executed so precisely – as one of the world’s premier bowlers; looking forward to another challenging matchup against DC in March!

Batting

The Royals hold a slim edge over the Capitals when it comes to head-to-head records, and will look to improve on their current sixth place standings position. Their primary goal will be winning their inaugural home game of the season as well as earning one of four spots required to qualify for play-offs.

Royals batsmen have yet to display consistency this season. While Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, and Dhruv Jurel have each registered half-centuries this year, more consistency in middle innings is still necessary as DC bowlers bring high-velocity delivery to each matchup.

However, DC boasts an outstanding batting unit that has the capacity to score big totals during matches. Their wicket is expected to provide assistance for batsmen; both sides will likely score many runs.

Choose the appropriate players for your fantasy team to improve your winning chances. When creating your lineup, focus on selecting a wicket-keeper capable of scoring sanctuary and bowlers who will pick up as many wickets as possible – and also 3-4 all-rounders as these may give you maximum points in the game.

Sheikh Zayed Stadium’s pitch has proved beneficial for batsmen during recent matches and should make for high-scoring contests. A toss likely won’t determine the outcome since both teams prefer chasing.
