Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 21,Wednesday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ Indian Premier League, 2025 The previous meeting between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025 ended with MI pulling off a 12-run victory in a nail-biter. Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Capitals TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MI vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis The Wankhede will host a high-stakes clash this Wednesday as Mumbai Indians take on Delhi Capitals in Match 63 of IPL 2025 in what could be a potential decider. Mumbai are in fourth place with 14 points from 12 outings, while Delhi sit just behind with 13 from the same number of matches. If Delhi lose, they’re out—no second chances. Mumbai, on the other hand, punch their playoff ticket with a win. So, both teams have everything riding on this. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians are on the brink of sealing a playoff berth. Sitting on 14 points from 12 games, one more win would lock them in. If they lose, things get a bit dicey—they’ll need to win their last league match and cross their fingers for other results. That said, confidence should be high in the camp. They’ve taken six wins from their last seven. The top order’s finding form at the right time—Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma are all getting runs. Rohit’s hit three fifties in his last five, Rickelton’s got two in his last three, and Jacks looked solid with one against GT in their last fixture. These three have been giving the side a solid start more often than not. The engine room, though, is where MI’s push is really coming from. Suryakumar Yadav is in unreal form—510 runs in 12 matches, averaging over 60 and striking at 170+. He looks set for another big knock. Tilak Varma is keeping the tempo high, while Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have chipped in with handy cameos under pressure. Pandya’s been handy with the ball too—13 wickets, though his economy’s just over nine. Deepak Chahar’s struck ten times but hasn’t quite closed out the death overs. Trent Boult has been useful both early and late, and Jasprit Bumrah looks like he’s heating up again with eight wickets in his last three. If he and Boult hit the mark late, MI could edge it. Delhi Capitals Preview It’s now or never for Delhi Capitals. A defeat in this match would knock them out of playoff contention. Their recent loss to Gujarat Titans didn’t just sting — it ended their top-two hopes, with their net run rate (0.260) dragging behind the rest of the top five. KL Rahul will have to lead from the front if DC is to put up a fight against Mumbai. He’s coming off a blazing unbeaten 112 off 65 balls versus GT and has already scored 493 runs in 11 innings this season. They’ll need another strong knock from him. Abishek Porel has held his own as well at the top, scoring 295 runs in 12 matches at a strike rate of 150. Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs have helped steady things when the middle order has looked shaky, adding vital runs at tense moments. Ashutosh Sharma has added late firepower, helping the side stay on track during crunch situations. With Mitchell Starc ruled out of the tournament, DC will be counting on Dushmantha Chameera and Mustafizur Rahman. Mustafizur brings control and experience, and you can back him for an economical spell. However, Chameera tends to go for runs. Kuldeep Yadav has been dependable, grabbing 12 wickets while keeping things tight at 6.97 an over. Vipraj Nigam has picked up nine wickets but has been expensive, conceding at 9.45 per over. Axar’s steady spin could come in handy again on a surface like this. They may also consider swapping out T Natarajan for Mukesh Kumar, given Natarajan’s struggles with economy. Weather Conditions Wankhede usually leans in favor of batters, but there’s a short stretch early on where seamers can make things happen with the new ball. After that, the pitch tends to settle, and runs come easier. Spinners may find some grip during the middle overs, but overall, the surface should stay true, so pace-off deliveries might not be the smartest call. The weather in Mumbai looks humid and overcast, with the possibility of a thunderstorm or two, but a full game still seems likely. MI vs DC Pitch Report At Wankhede, first-innings scores usually hover around 170. RCB smashed the highest ever here with 235-1 against MI back in 2015. Both teams will be eyeing a score of around 200-210 to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bowl Chasing teams have come out on top in four of the six matches played at Wankhede in IPL 2025, suggesting that batting second has had the upper hand at this ground.

IPL 2025: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill show Delhi Capitals what they have been missing this season | Cricket News

Gujarat Titans’ captain Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan being congratulated by Delhi Capitals’ KL Rahul (PTI Photo) NEW DELHI: KL Rahul did much of the heavy-lifting for Delhi Capitals as they batted first against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday evening. During his 60-ball century, and eventual 112* from 65 balls, he ticked plenty of boxes in an effortless knock which took DC to 199 runs, their biggest total at this venue in IPL 2025.While playing 65 balls (the most by a batter this IPL season), he pocketed numerous milestones along the way as well: fastest Indian to 8000 T20 runs, fourth on the list of most centurions in IPL history, joint-third in the list of most centuries by Indians in T20s.His innings was stupendously paced as well. In his first 20 balls, he scored 25 runs. In the next 20 balls each he scored 38 and 39 runs, respectively. The last five balls fetched 10 runs. As far as pacing an innings in a T20 is concerned, this was template stuff. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!And this was the plan all along as DC moved KL Rahul to top of the order. Having tried multiple combinations with none of them proving fruitful, the franchise rolled the dice again. And again, it didn’t work out. Faf du Plessis fell for 5 after a laboured start, producing an opening stand of just 16 runs.But it allowed KL Rahul more time to get settled before going into the attacking mode, which saw 14 fours and four sixes. Except, it wasn’t enough — by a long margin. Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill showed what DC have been missing all this season — a set pair to open the innings. The pairing collected their seventh 50-plus stand for the first wicket in IPL 2025. And when they crossed the 100-run mark without much of a fuss, it was their seventh in IPL history.As the score ticked to 158 runs, the records just became harsh on DC, as it was the highest opening stand against them.Not long after, Sudharsan, fittingly, got the job done with a six. The manner of the result was also duly appropriate. Half-tracker outside off by Vipraj Nigam, Sudharsan went on the back foot and pulled well over long-on. Six and Gujarat Titans had earned themselves a 10-wicket win and a place in the playoffs. Well, themselves and Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings as well.The maximum to close the match out was the 11th six of the GT innings, which coupled with the 15 fours, meant 126 of the 205 runs that GT scored came in boundaries or 61.46%. Sudharsan’s 108 from 61 balls and Gill’s 93 from 53 balls were laden with boundaries, yet there was little risk involved. Where Gill controlled 82% of his shots, Sudharsan was on 85% on that metric. Bombay Sport Exchange Ep 5: Shane Watson on how IPL gave him a lifeline & his tribute to Phil Hughes “We’ve batted and played really well throughout, going into the playoffs is a reward for how well we’ve done. Openers play low-risk cricket, still they have the ability to hit down the ground and find boundaries. The fours they hit during the game, especially. They know their game, they put a lot of work in strengthening their basics which shows,” said GT assistant coach Parthiv Patel after the win.“Opening pair is about chemistry and knowing each other’s games wel,l which they do,” he added.On the eve of the match, Parthiv had stressed on looking at the glass-half-full with their batting, suggesting he was focused on the top order doing the job for them. And on Sunday, that glass just got a bit fuller. Get IPL 2025 match schedules, squads, points table, and live scores for CSK, MI, RCB, KKR, SRH, LSG, DC, GT, PBKS, and RR.

Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 18,Sunday​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 :​ Indian Premier League 2025 The last time Delhi Capitals played Gujarat Titans was in the first half of IPL 2025, when Delhi wrapped up a comfortable win by 7 wickets. Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. DC vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals (DC) take on Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 60 of IPL 2025 this Sunday in Delhi. DC have picked up six wins from 11 games and currently hold fifth place with 13 points. Gujarat, on the other hand, lead the standings with 16 points from 11 matches and are all but certain to reach the playoffs. A loss here could put Delhi in a tight spot. Gujarat have been in solid form and carry more momentum heading into this one, which gives them the advantage in what’s expected to be a tough contest. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals are still in the race for the playoffs—six wins, four losses, sitting fifth at the moment. They opened strong this season, taking five wins from their first six, but it’s been a rough stretch since, with just one win in the last five games. At 12 points from 11 matches, they’re in a tight spot now. Another slip-up could really hurt their chances, so this one’s got added pressure. The timing isn’t ideal either. There’s still no word on whether Faf du Plessis will be back after the break. Tristan Stubbs, however, will be back for the rest of the league phase. If Faf remains out, it’ll fall on the Indian players to push the team forward. KL Rahul will need to be at the front of that effort. He’s been calm but assertive—381 runs from nine innings at a strike rate of 142.16. Abishek Porel has done well at the top too, piling up 265 runs in 11 games with a strike rate of 150. Axar Patel has stepped in when needed, especially during wobbling middle overs, adding runs that helped settle things. He, along with Stubb,s will be crucial from overs 10-20. Ashutosh Sharma has chipped in late, hitting quick runs to keep the innings moving when the pressure’s been on. Gujarat Titans Preview Gujarat Titans have been one of the steadiest sides in IPL 2025, collecting 16 points from 11 games to sit at the top of the table. With a playoff spot nearly in the bag, they’ll be aiming to lock in a top-two finish to get two chances at making the final. While the one-week suspension caused overseas player issues for several teams, Gujarat haven’t had much to worry about. Jos Buttler and Gerald Coetzee were the only ones who left India after the pause, and both are expected back before the next game. Rashid Khan, Sherfane Rutherford, Kagiso Rabada, and Karim Janat stayed back with the team during the break. GT look balanced across departments, and both units are firing smoothly. At the top, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler have been piling on the runs, each going past 500 for the season. The form of this trio has been a huge factor in Gujarat’s dominance, and there’s no doubt they’ll be central again. In the middle, Rutherford has quietly put together 229 runs in eight knocks at a strike rate of 159. Rahul Tewatia, as usual, has chipped in during the final stretch of innings with his handy cameos. The bowlers have kept their end of the bargain, too. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have taken 35 wickets between them, and Sai Kishore has picked up 14 while maintaining control with an economy of 8.37. In a further boost to the team, Kagiso Rabada is all set to be back for GT for the remaining league games. The South African speedster’s presence will further bolster an already strong bowling unit. Rashid Khan is also beginning to find his rhythm again. If the pitch suits them, this bowling unit could make an impact once more. Weather Conditions The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium is generally flat and settles well once the lights come on. It’s a ground where batters can trust the bounce and get good reward for timing, especially with shots played square. Spinners may find a bit of help later in the game, but it’s usually nothing major, so expect the bat to have the upper hand. Delhi’s weather will be warm and sticky, but there’s no rain in the forecast. The average first innings score at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium sits at 170. The highest total recorded at the venue in IPL 2025 is 205-5 by Mumbai Indians against the home side, a game they won by 12 runs. Expect another high-scoring game with both teams targeting a total of over 200 to feel confident. Toss: To Bat Three of the four matches played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first. Going by these numbers, it’s clear that batting first is advantageous on this venue.

Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 08,Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​ 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 With just one win in their last five games, Delhi Capitals are under pressure to get a result here and stay alive in the playoff race. Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. PBKS vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis Punjab Kings (PBKS) meet Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 58 of IPL 2025 this Thursday at the scenic Dharamsala. DC have managed six wins from 11 outings and are currently in fifth place on 13 points. PBKS, on the other hand, hold second with 15 points from 11 matches. With the playoff race heating up, this clash carries plenty of weight for both sides. Based on recent form, Punjab appear to have the edge heading into this one. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings jumped to second place with a dominant 37-run win over Lucknow Super Giants, defending a hefty 236-5 in Dharamsala. Prabhsimran Singh was on fire with a 91 off 48—his fourth fifty this year—and now leads the team’s batting charts with 437 runs in 11 matches. Their batting has been a strength all season. Prabhsimran and Priyansh Arya have started games with intent, though Priyansh has lacked consistency. Shreyas Iyer has anchored the middle overs well, scoring 405 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 170. He’s looked composed and remains a reliable option. Nehal Wadhera has chipped in with quick cameos in the middle, striking at around 150. His scores haven’t been huge, but they’ve come at the right time. Josh Inglis slotted in at number three last game and hammered 30 off 14—he’ll likely stick to that role going forward. Marcus Stoinis is a hit-or-miss type but dangerous in the slog overs. Shashank Singh has quietly handled the finishing job and has turned games around late with the bat. Arshdeep Singh has been the wrecker-in-chief with the ball for Punjab with 16 wickets in 10 innings at an economy of 8. He’s fresh off a match-winning spell of 3-16 against LSG and will be itching to do well again here at Dharamsala. Marco Jansen has struggled, and there’s not much backup available. Yuzvendra Chahal tends to leak runs when he’s off his game, which releases the pressure and adds more pressure on the others. But if he and Arshdeep click together, Punjab could dominate again. Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals are still in the playoff hunt—six wins, four losses, and currently in fifth. They caught a lucky break in their last outing against Sunrisers Hyderabad. After stumbling to 133-7 while batting first at Uppal, the rain came down just in time to hand both teams a point each, rescuing DC from what was shaping up to be a defeat. DC got off to a flying start this season with five wins in their opening six games, but have stumbled since, managing only one win from the last five. With 12 points from 11 matches, there’s little room for error now. Dropping another game could make things messy, so this match carries some extra weight for them. DC’s batting has done a decent job, though it hasn’t quite matched some of the top sides. KL Rahul’s been steady and aggressive when needed—381 runs from nine innings at a strike rate of 142.16. Abishek Porel has provided strong starts too, scoring 265 in 11 matches with a 150 strike rate. Axar Patel has chipped in when things have looked shaky, adding valuable runs when the team needed someone to hold firm. Tristan Stubbs, further down the order, played a composed 41 off 36 against SRH when they were in serious trouble at 62-6. He’s racked up 259 runs across 11 innings at a healthy 151.46 and can be expected to contribute again. Weather Conditions Dharamsala’s pitch holds onto the day’s heat even after sunset, keeping the bounce steady. Early on, the cold mountain air creates tricky swing conditions for about six overs, but once dew sets in, it turns into a problem for bowlers. Batting becomes smoother after that, and boundaries come easier. Slower balls grip around twilight but lose their edge later.  Expect cool weather overall, with a 62% chance of afternoon rain that could delay the start. PBKS vs DC Pitch Report The average score batting first at Dharamsala is 188. In the first game of the season played at the venue, Punjab Kings smashed 236-5 batting first against Lucknow Super Giants and won the game by 37 runs. Both teams will target a score of around 210 to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bat At Dharamsala, teams batting first have come out on top in 9 of the 12 T20s played there, including the most recent game. That track record makes a strong case for choosing to bat first at this ground.

DC vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are set to face the Delhi Capitals (DC) in Match 48 of IPL 2025 on April 29 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. DC has been in impressive form this season, securing six wins out of nine matches, placing them fourth in the points table with 12 points. In contrast, KKR has faced challenges this season, managing only three wins in nine games and currently sitting seventh with seven points. DC played their last game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Batting first, DC scored 162 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. KL Rahul scored 41 runs off 39 deliveries. DC lost against the in-form Virat Kohli and out-of-the-box Krunal Pandya in the 19th over of the game by 6 wickets. Skipper Axar Patel took two wickets for 19. KKR’s last game got washed out because of the rain. PBKS scored 201 runs for the loss of four wickets. Rain halted the game when KKR were at seven runs in the first over. Both teams shared a point each. KKR now has three losses and a win in the last five games. This includes their historical defeat against PBKS, where PBKS defended the lowest target. In their last game against each other in the last season of the IPL, KKR managed to beat DC by 7 wickets. Batting first, Delhi scored 153 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Varun Chakravarthy picked up three wickets for 16 runs. KKR managed to chase the target with seven wickets in hand. Axar Patel took two wickets for 25. This was KKR’s second consecutive win against the Capitals. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview DC will be eager to bounce back after a recent six-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). ​Abhishek Porel will open the innings with Du Plessis. Porel has scored 253 runs at a strike rate above 150. Du Plessis is back in the squad after Fraser-McGruk failed to produce the start with Porel. Du Plessis has 103 runs in 4 games. Karun Nair will come at number three. After 88 runs against MI, Nair has scored just 41 runs in the next four games. KL Rahul will be the batter to watch out for. Rahul has 364 runs in 8 innings at an average of 60 and a strike rate of 146. With three fifties and 16 sixes in 8 innings, it looks like the old KL Rahul is back. Skipper Axar Patel will come in the middle with Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Varma. Axar has 189 runs with the bat at a strike rate of 156. He has failed to impress with the ball. Verma has a strike rate of 175, scoring 138 runs in 6 innings. Stubbs has scored 217 runs at an average of 54 and has a strike rate of 164. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview ​Things are not looking good for the current champions. They have just three wins in 9 games. Sunil Naraine will open the innings with Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Naraine has 151 runs at a strike rate of 175. He has also taken 7 wickets with the ball at an economy of 7.75. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane will come at number three. He is their leading run-scorer with 271 runs at a strike rate of 146. Angkrish Raghuvanshi will come in the middle with Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, and Ramandeep Singh. Raghuvanshi has an average of 40 and has scored 197 runs. Rinku Singh has managed to score 133 runs in 7 innings. Russell has yet to explode with the bat this season. He has scored just 55 runs in 6 innings. With the ball, he has claimed 7 wickets. It will be interesting to see if KKR replaces him with Moeen Ali. Varun Arora will lead the bowling attack with Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy. The trio has taken 11 wickets each in 9 games. Chakravarthy will be the bowler to watch out for. He has an economy of 6.85- the lowest among the bowlers. Weather Conditions The weather at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi is expected to be sunny on match day, with temperatures ranging between 22 and 34 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 8-15 km/h. It is a batting-friendly pitch. With its short boundaries and high altitude, the Chinnaswamy Stadium is a paradise for batters in limited-overs cricket, where towering totals are often posted—and chased—without breaking a sweat. The game will be played at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on 29th April from 7:30 p.m. onwards. The stadium has a capacity of 48,000 spectators and regularly hosts IPL fixtures.

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 27, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 07:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​​ Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Delhi Capitals’ aim to better record against the RCB  Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. DC vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis We are in that stage of the Indian Premier League 2025, where some of the teams have taken a clear lead. In this context, we expect a cracker of a contest where the Delhi Capitals will take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 46th game to prove their dominance. The Royal Challengers defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game and look confident. Delhi Capitals have also done well and won against the Lucknow Super Giants in their last game. Both teams will aim for the top spot on the points table with a win.  The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have shown consistency in recent matches. They have won three out of the last four games. They have enjoyed a good record against the Delhi Capitals, and the team will look to bank on its batting strength. The Delhi Capitals won’t hand the game on a platter to the RCB, but they have done well themselves. We expect a close encounter as the teams fight hard to make it to the top of the points table. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Axar Patel will be proud of his team’s performance this season. They defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by 8 wickets in the last game to move to the second spot on the points table. They have their batsmen in good form, and the bowlers have also done well. They defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier in the season, and the team will look to draw inspiration from that win and do the same.  Abishek Porel batted well in the last game, and he looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Karun Nair. KL Rahul and Axar Patel set up a match-winning partnership in the last game and are looking to build partnerships with Tristan Stubbs. Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, and Mitchell Starc can hit the ball hard and add firepower to this batting lineup.  Mitchell Starc and Axar Patel bowled brilliantly in the last game, and they will have to do well as the Royal Challengers are in good form. Mukesh Kumar will be confident after his 4-wicket spell in the last game and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Dushmantha Chameera. The team will expect a good show in the supporting role from Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam. oyal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Rajat Patidar’s team has been the talk of the world this season. They have shed their tag of being slow starters and have done well since the season’s start. The side defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 11 runs. They have enjoyed a good record against the Delhi Capitals, and Patidar would like his team to build on the momentum and take a step towards the playoffs.  Virat Kohli is among the best batsmen this season and played a match-winning knock against RR. He’ll look to deliver a strong start with Phillip Salt. Devdutt Padikkal is batting well, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Tim David and Rajat Patidar. Jitesh Sharma, Romario Shepherd, and Krunal Panya are powerful hitters and complete a strong batting unit.  Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal leaked runs in the last game, and the team needs a better show from them with the new ball. Josh Hazlewood picked 4 wickets in the last game and tilted the odds. He will look to do the same with Shepherd in the middle overs. Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma add variety to this attack, making it strong. Weather Conditions There will be clear skies over Delhi. We expect the conditions to be hot. The track would be a good one to bat on, where batsmen can play their strokes easily. The average first innings score is 169 runs, and the side batting first would like more than 190 runs on the board to feel confident. DC vs RCB Pitch Report Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, is one of the best venues for T20 cricket in India, and we have seen high-scoring games here in the past. Fast bowlers must bring out their variations to do well here, and the spinners enjoy good support from the wicket. Batsmen can play here without fear as the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score in this venue won most games in the last two seasons. We have seen big scores, and the excellent wicket makes it a good surface to chase. The side that wins the toss in this game would opt to bowl first and try and dismiss the opponent for a small total.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 22, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Lucknow Super Giants haven’t managed to beat Delhi Capitals in their last three matchups, including once this season. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. LSG vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants take on Delhi Capitals in Match 40 of IPL 2025 this Tuesday at Ekana. LSG have surprised a few this season, picking up five wins from eight games, which puts them fifth on the table. DC, on the other hand, have had a strong run with five wins and just two losses, placing them second. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview Lucknow Super Giants weren’t on many people’s radar at the start, but five wins from eight have pushed them into the top four. Their latest was a nail-biter—edging past Rajasthan Royals by just two runs in Jaipur after defending 180 with sharp bowling at the death. What should give them more confidence is pulling that off, even though Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran weren’t at their best. Aiden Markram stepped up with 66 off 45 to lift the batting effort and helped them reach a competitive total. He’s found his rhythm over the season and now sits third on their run chart, scoring 274 in eight innings at a strike rate of 150. Marsh and Pooran have done the bulk of the scoring all season—Marsh has 299 from seven innings at 168, including four fifties. Pooran has led the way with 368 runs in eight matches, striking at 205.58. Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals have been one of the more consistent sides this season. With five wins from seven games, 10 points, and a net run rate of 0.589, they sit comfortably in second place. Their recent defeat to Gujarat Titans—by 7 wickets—won’t shake them too much. They stayed in the contest deep, and that’s something they’ll take forward. Their batting’s looked sharp. KL Rahul has been the anchor and the accelerator, smashing 266 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 158.33. He’s played the situations smartly and shifted gears when needed. Tristan Stubbs has stepped up when it matters, especially at the back end of games. He’s DC’s second-highest scorer right now, followed by Abishek Porel. Down the order, Ashutosh Sharma has chipped in at just the right times—his late-over strike rate of 178.94 has turned matches. Bowling-wise, Mitchell Starc has been a bit expensive, but he’s still delivered with 10 wickets from seven outings.  Weather Conditions At Ekana, it’s usually smarter for batters to take a few balls to get their eye in before going hard. Once they’ve settled, scoring isn’t all that difficult. The surface tends to slow down and get a bit unpredictable as the game moves on, which brings spinners into play during the middle overs. Pacers won’t get much help off the deck, so mixing it up with slower balls and cutters will be their best shot at damage control.  The Lucknow heat and humidity could take a toll, but at least there’s no rain on the radar. LSG vs DC Pitch Report First-innings totals at Ekana usually sit near 166 on average. KKR set the highest score here last season with 235/6 against LSG, winning by a massive 98 runs. With how the pitch has behaved in IPL 2025’s first four games, sides batting first should target 190-plus to stay competitive. Toss: To Bowl Three of the four matches played at Ekana in IPL 2025 have been won by the chasing side, indicating clearly that this venue favors the chasing side.

KL Rahul was the man of the match against CSK for his innings of 77 off just 51 balls that helped defeat CSK by 25 runs. Against RCB, his former team, Rahul scored not out 93 in just 53 balls and took two catches to help DC get a comfortable win by six wickets. He is DC’s top scorer this season and looks in sublime touch.

The biggest T20 league in the world – Indian Premier League – is nearing the mid-league stage. The 10-team tournament is being played at 13 different venues across India.  Three teams – Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Lucknow Super Giants – who are yet to win the IPL trophy are currently among the top 4 teams of the tournament.  TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals have been the standout performers in this season of the Indian Premier League.

KL Rahul is proving to be a best buy in the recent auctions for Delhi Capitals. He has helped Delhi Capitals won two games comprehensively.

However, sadly, these were the only wins the Rajasthan Royals have so far in the six games they have played in this season. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, is expected to be extremely hot and dry with hazy sunshine throughout the day.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​​​Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 13, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 7:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 The last time these two teams met at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Capitals secured a 10-run win over Mumbai Indians in a high-scoring game. Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. DC vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals take on Mumbai Indians at home in Match 29 of IPL 2025 this Sunday night. DC are on a roll with four wins in a row and now sit second on the table. They haven’t lost a game yet this season and look well put-together. MI, on the other hand, have struggled—just one win from five outings has left them in eighth place. Based on current form, Delhi clearly have the upper hand. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals are rolling this season. Four wins from four, 8 points in the bag, and a tidy NRR of +1.278 puts them second on the table. Their latest outing saw them ease past Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 6 wickets, chasing 164 with 13 balls left. It wasn’t all smooth sailing—DC were struggling at 58 for 4 in the 9th over. Then KL Rahul (93* off 53) and Tristan Stubbs (38* off 23) turned it around with a ruthless 111-run stand off just 55 balls. Rahul’s been the game-changer—185 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 169.72. He’s been calm, calculated, and explosive when needed—exactly what DC needed to solidify their batting. Jake Fraser-McGurk hasn’t quite clicked yet, but anyone who watched him last season knows he just needs one clean hit to flip a game. Ashutosh Sharma is making sure the lower order doesn’t fade—his clean striking in the final overs has already tilted a couple of games. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians have had a tough run this IPL season. They’ve managed just one win so far and dropped four games, including a 12-run defeat at home against RCB while chasing 222. That said, they did fight hard in that chase—Tilak Varma smashed 56 off 29, and Hardik Pandya hammered 42 off just 15, but it wasn’t enough. One of MI’s main concerns is their inconsistent top order. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had a few good moments, but nothing that really turned a game. Rohit Sharma hasn’t hit his stride either, so expectations around him are low for now. Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the few bright spots—199 runs from five innings at an average of 50 and a strike rate north of 150. He’ll be central to how MI go in this one. Tilak and Hardik finding form again gives them more options.  Pandya’s also been doing the job with the ball, picking up 10 wickets at an economy of 8.57. Deepak Chahar has been steady too, with four wickets and decent control in his spells. Boult continues to be a threat early on with the new ball. Weather Conditions The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium tends to be flat and quick to settle under lights. Expect a true surface where stroke-makers enjoy value for their shots, especially the square of the wicket. Spinners might get some grip as the game wears on, but it’s rarely dramatic, so expect batters to dominate the proceedings.  The weather in Delhi will be warm and humid, but clear of any rain. DC vs MI Pitch Report The average first innings score at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium sits at 170, but things got wild there last season. In just five games, teams crossed 200 eight times, with Sunrisers Hyderabad smashing 266-7 against Delhi Capitals—the highest of the lot. Another high-scoring game could be on the cards, though conditions this year haven’t offered many flat tracks. Both sides will likely aim for something in the 200-220 range. Toss: To Bat All five matches played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2024 were won by the team batting first. Going by these numbers, its clear batting first is advantageous on this venue.
