DC vs RR Match Preview:
Delhi Capitals will take on Rajasthan Royals in the sixty-second match of IPL 2026 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, May 17, 2026. The evening match will start at 7:30 PM IST and is very important for both the franchises as the race for the playoffs heats up. Furthermore, Delhi Capitals will be looking to continue their strong form at home, while Rajasthan Royals will be aiming to quickly recover from the disappointing defeat in their previous match.
The rivalry between these two teams has remained highly competitive over the years, although Delhi Capitals were dominant in the previous meeting this season on May 1, 2026. During that thrilling contest in Jaipur, Rajasthan Royals posted a big score thanks to Riyan Parag’s brilliant 90 off 50 balls and Donovan Ferreira’s explosive 47 off 14 balls.
However, Delhi responded aggressively as KL Rahul played a brilliant knock of 75 off 40 balls while Pathum Nissanka scored 62 off 33 balls to help the Capitals chase down an excellent target with seven wickets remaining. Furthermore, Delhi enter this fixture coming off the back of another impressive batting performance against Punjab Kings, where the lineup successfully chased down the target of 211 runs. Axar Patel’s team will once again rely on their powerful top order along with Mitchell Starc, who took an impressive three wickets against Rajasthan in their previous encounter.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals would like to make a strong comeback after suffering a crushing 77-run defeat against Gujarat Titans. Their batting lineup failed under pressure while chasing 229, but the Royals still have tremendous firepower through Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel and captain Riyan Parag. Furthermore, their bowling attack comprising of the pace of Joffra Archer as well as the spin combination of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravi Bishnoi will all aim to make a bigger impact this time around.
Meanwhile, the Arun Jaitley Stadium has consistently produced high-scoring matches throughout the season due to its short boundaries and fast outfield. Although the batsmen generally dominate here, the spinners may get some assistance later in the innings as the surface becomes a little slower. As a result, the captain who wins the toss may choose to bowl first to take advantage of possible dew conditions in the evening.
