DC Vs RR Match Prediction: The 19th edition of the Indian Premier League, the world’s most popular franchise cricket league, will be held in 2026. IPL 2026 will feature 10 teams competing for the world’s most prestigious franchise cricket competition trophy.
The Delhi Capitals have never won the IPL. The difference is that they have been in the league since the very beginning. They, along with PBKS, are the only two teams that have been here since 2008 that have never won the league. The Capitals have been to the final once and the playoffs on a few occasions, but this year, under the leadership of Axar Patel, they will be aiming to win their first IPL title.
The Capitals have had a fine start to this season. They thoroughly defeated the Lucknow Super Giants in their opening game, then beat the Mumbai Indians in their second. Their third game ended in a one-run loss to the Gujarat Titans. Most recently, they were beaten by the Chennai Super Kings. They then turned the script on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by defeating them. Most recently, they were dominated by the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
They then suffered a crushing loss as the Punjab Kings chased down the biggest IPL total against them, before being absolutely crushed by the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals and lost to the Chennai Super Kings. A defeat to the Kolkata Knight Riders followed. A win against the Punjab Kings came next. With five wins, seven losses, 10 points, and the worst net run rate in the league in 12 games, Delhi is currently seventh on the points table.
Meanwhile, the Rajasthan Royals were the inaugural IPL champions, winning the league all the way back in 2008. However, they have failed to win it while not being one of the more successful teams in the league. They last reached the final in 2022, for the first time since their title win. Now under a young captain after letting go of Sanju Samson, this young squad is looking to relive their past glory and win it all again.
The Royals have gotten off to a flying start to this season. In their opening game, they thrashed the Chennai Super Kings, before beating the Gujarat Titans in their second in a thriller. In their third game agaisnt the Mumbai Indians, which was shortened due to rain, RR dominated MI. They then made it four-in-four with a fine win over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru. They then lost their first game of the season, being defeated by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. This was followed by their second defeat in a row, to the Kolkata Knight Riders. They then beat the Lucknow Super Giants in a low-scoring game.
Then came a second defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad this season, before Rajasthan became the first team this season to beat the Punjab Kings, before immediately losing to the Delhi Capitals, and being defeated by the Gujarat Titans. With six wins, five losses, 12 points, and a positive net run rate in 11 games, RR is currently sixth on the points table.

DC Vs RR Prediction Match 62 IPL 2026 Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch Report
While historically a little sticky wicket, in recent years, the conditions at the Arun Jaitley Stadium have been highly conducive to batting. The pitches are flat, with almost no support to bowlers, coupled with short boundaries, making it a batter’s haven. There might be a little something for the pacers here early in the inning. Overall, based on the progress of this competition so far, the tracks are expected to be quite balanced and competitive. The Arun Jaitley is usually a smaller ground. The square boundaries are generally around 60-62m in length, while the straight ones extend out to 68m, possibly 70.
