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.

Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 19, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Delhi Capitals looking to continue the dominance against Gujarat Titans Karachi Kings vs Quetta Gladiators 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. GT vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis Gujarat Titans will take on Delhi Capitals in the 35th game of the Indian Premier League 2025 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. The festival of cricket is in full flow in the form of the Indian Premier League in India. The 10-team tournament will have 74 games and is currently at the mid-point of the league stage. Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans are currently placed 1st and 2nd in the points table, respectively. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview Despite starting the season with a loss against Punjab Kings at home, Gujarat Titans rose in the points table ranking with four consecutive wins before a loss in the sixth game against Lucknow Supergiants. It was the high-scoring game against Punjab Kings, where Gujarat Titans almost chased down a huge total of 244. They fell short eventually by just 11 runs. Sai Kishore was the best bowler with 3 wickets for 30 runs in that game. In the next four games, Gujarat Titans registered four consecutive and comprehensive victories against Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Rajasthan Royals. They have mainly two people to thank for this superb turnaround. First is Sai Sudharsan, who has scored 329 runs in 6 games and has done the bulk of the scoring at the top of the order. The second one is the new entry in the team, Mohammad Siraj, who has been in excellent form, taking 10 wickets in the last six matches. He was single-handedly responsible for the win against his former team, RCB, where he took 3 wickets for just 19, claiming the man of the match award.  Delhi Capitals Preview What a win it was for Delhi Capitals last night against Rajasthan Royals. First, they were able to tie the game that they should have lost, thanks to the superb last over from Mitchell Starc. And then, they won the super over with 2 balls to spare, registering their 5th win of the season in just 6 games. With this win, Delhi Capitals are currently at the top of the table with 10 points and a superb net run rate of +0.744. It is perhaps the way Delhi Capitals started this season that set the tone for a superb IPL so far in 2025. In the opening game against LSG, DC looked down and out, chasing a big total of 210. At one point, they were 6 down for 113 runs in the 13th over, and the win looked a distant probability. However, a rearguard effort by Ashutosh Sharma, who scored 66 not out in just 31 balls, helped Delhi Capitals get a win in the opening game of the season by one wicket and with just three balls. Delhi Capitals made a superb pick of KL Rahul in the recent auctions. His form has been instrumental in DC’s standing at the top of the table. 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. Mitchell Starc has been among wickets and, just like KL Rahul, has a couple of man of the match awards against SRH and RR. Weather Conditions The weather on the match day at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, is expected to be very warm with plenty of sunshine. It’s going to be very dry. The temperature is expected to range between a high of 42°C and a low of 26°C. There is no significant chance of rain on the match day. GT vs DC Pitch Report The Narendra Modi Stadium, located in Motera, Ahmedabad, is the largest cricket stadium in the world, with a total seating capacity of about 130,000 spectators. The venue boasts state-of-the-art facilities. It is the home venue for the Gujarat cricket team and the Gujarat Titans in the IPL. Established in 1983, the venue has hosted several tests, ODIs, and T20 matches, including the ICC Cricket World Cup final in 2023 between India and Australia. Toss: To Bat The teams batting first have won all three games this season at Ahmedabad. It is a high-scoring ground where the highest score this season was 243 by Punjab Kings, followed by 217 and 196 by Gujarat Titans batting first. Looking at the trend, the team winning the toss should bat first here and look to post a big total on the board.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 16, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Delhi Capitals looking to strengthen their position with a win against Rajasthan Royals Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals​ 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 RR Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals will take on Rajasthan Royals in the 32nd game of Indian Premier League 2025 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, on 16th April 2025 at 7:30 pm IST. 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. They started the season with four consecutive wins before an unfortunate loss in their fifth game against the Mumbai Indians. The Capitals are currently placed 2nd in the points table with 8 points and a net run rate of 0.899. Delhi Capitals are the only team with 4 wins in 5 games, while the rest of the top 4 with 8 points have played 6 games. Delhi Capitals started the season with a close win against LSG by 1 wicket with 3 balls remaining. Chasing a huge taget of 210, Delhi Capitals were sure to lose the game when they were 6 down for just 113 in the 13th over. However, a superb knock from Ashutosh Sharma, 66 of just 31 balls, helped them register their first victory of the season. 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. In the game against CSK where he scored 77 of 51 balls opening the innings for the first time for Delhi Capitals, DC won that game by 25 runs. Against Royal Challengers Bangalore. He came in at a tricky situation when the team was 2 down for 10 in the third over and scored not out 93 to help Delhi Capitals get out of the line with 6 wickets and about 2 overs to spare. KL Rahul was the player of the match in both the games. Rajasthan Royals Preview Given the squad the Rajasthan Royals have, one must say they have underperformed so far in the Indian Premier League 2025. Rajasthan Royals have just two wins in six games, and with four points, they are currently placed eighth in the points table, having the third worst net run rate of -0.838. Both of Rajasthan Royals’s wins have come after batting first against CSK and Punjab Kings. Rajasthan Royals started the season with a high-scoring game against Sunrisers Hyderabad who are hell-bent on making 300 this season. Chasing a target of 286, Rajasthan Royals did well to reach 242 but that was not enough. In the next game, Against KKR, the Rajasthan Royals scored just 151 and lost the game in the 18th over. Then came the two wins against CSK and Punjab Kings. In both these games, the Rajasthan Royals batted first and scored 185 and 205, respectively. These above par scores helped Rajasthan Royals bowlers to have some cushion while defending the big totals, helping Rajasthan Royals register two consecutive wins. 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. The temperature will range between a high of 43 degrees Celsius and a low of 31 degrees Celsius. The temperatures indicate intense heat. ‘There is no chance of rain on the match day. DC vs RR Pitch Report The venue of the match is Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. Established in 1883, tt is one of the oldest cricket stadiums in India and an iconic cricket venue across the world. Formerly known as Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium, it was renamed in 2019 to Arun Jaitley Stadium. This is the iconic venue where Anil Kumble took a historic 10-wicket haul in a single Test against Pakistan in 1999. The venue has hosted several ODIs, tests, and T20 international matches. This venue has a seating capacity of about 40,000 spectators. Toss: To Bat In the 8 T20 internationals played at this venue, four have been won by the teams batting first, while the remaining four have been won by the teams bowling first. Only one game has been played at this venue in this season of IPL, where Mumbai Indians won against Delhi Capitals, batting first after scoring more than 200 runs. It looks like the conditions at Delhi are good for batting, and the teams should look to bat first here and set big totals up front. The team winning the toss should bat first here.

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.

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

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​​​Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 10, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 07:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 RCB have had Delhi Capitals’ number in recent IPL seasons. Out of their last five meetings, Bengaluru came out on top in all but one encounter.  Royal Challengers Bengaluru 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. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru have kicked off IPL 2025 in strong fashion. They’ve played four games so far, winning three and dropping just one. Their latest outing was a nail-biter — a 12-run win over Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede. After putting up a solid 221-5 batting first, they held their nerve with the ball, even as MI threatened a late comeback. The runs were well spread out this time. Virat Kohli was at it again, scoring a fluent 67 off 42. He’s now topping the charts for RCB this season with 167 runs from four games at an average of 54.66 and a strike rate of 143.85. Rajat Patidar led the side with intent, blasting 64 off just 32, while Jitesh Sharma’s unbeaten 40 off 19 and Devdutt Padikkal’s 37 off 22 kept the momentum going.  RCB’s lineup looks deep and dangerous, with Tim David batting as low as seven. Philip Salt hasn’t quite clicked yet, but he’s due — and a quick 30-plus knock could be just around the corner. Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals have had a flying start to the season, winning all three games with ease and sitting at the top of the table. Their latest win was a 25-run result over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. On a sluggish pitch, DC posted 183-6 and then kept CSK to 158-5 with disciplined bowling. KL Rahul led the charge with a fluent 77 off 51. His calm presence at the top makes a big difference—he can keep the scoreboard ticking and also shift gears when needed. The middle-order looks in good shape too, with Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, and Axar Patel all looking dependable and capable of putting runs on the board. Jake Fraser-McGurk hasn’t fired yet this season, but we’ve seen what he can do last season when he finds rhythm. A flat pitch like Chinnaswamy might be the perfect setup for him to play a quick, impactful knock. Ashutosh Sharma’s finishing skills also give DC that edge at the death—he can take down any attack in the last few overs. Weather Conditions Batsmen love the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch, and for good reason – it’s usually flat and true, perfect for big hitting. Spinners can make an impact in the middle stages if the pitch offers grip, as we saw in the previous contest here. Conditions, however, will probably heavily favor batting with minimal assistance for bowlers. The forecast calls for mild, somewhat cloudy conditions in Bengaluru during game time, but no rain threat means we’ll likely get a complete match without weather interruptions. At M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, teams batting first typically average 168 runs. But this venue often delivers big scores – Sunrisers Hyderabad smashed 287 against RCB here in IPL 2024, setting a new tournament record. For this match, the side batting first will likely aim for 210-220 to feel comfortable. Toss: To Bat Looking at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium’s recent history, we see a clear pattern emerging. The team taking first strike has won four of the previous six IPL contests held at this ground. Such statistics point to a noticeable benefit when establishing a total instead of pursuing one. Given these figures, the smart play appears to be batting first whenever possible at this venue.

Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​​​​​​Chennai Super Kings vs Delhi Capitals​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 05, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 15:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Delhi Capitals’ Chepauk test after back-to-back wins Chennai Super 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. CSK vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis We have had exciting games in the first quarter of games in the Indian Premier League 2025, and the points table is slowly taking shape. Hosts Chennai Super Kings will face the heat as they take on the Delhi Capitals in the 17th game. In the last game, the Super Kings went down against the Rajasthan Royals and must win here to find their momentum. Delhi Capitals have done well, and the team enters this game with a victory against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.  The Chennai Super Kings have a good record against Delhi Capitals, and the team has won four out of the last five games between the two teams. Their record at Chennai against the Capitals is even more impressive. The Capitals won’t be a pushover, as they have won both games. It will be interesting to see if the Capitals can overcome their poor record at the Chepauk. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview Things have got tough for Ruturaj Gaikwad’s side. They started the season with a win but have suffered back-to-back losses heading into this contest. The team went down by 6 runs in the last game against the Rajasthan Royals, making a mess of the chase in the final overs. Gaikwad must lift spirits in the camp and win this game to regain their momentum and keep hopes alive.  Rachin Ravindra and Rahul Tripathi must deliver a good start in the game, as the lack of runs at the top has been one of their major worries this season. Ruturaj Gaikwad is the mainstay in the middle order, and he must do well with Shivam Dube and Vijay Shankar. Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni, and Jamie Overton are good hitters, and the team expects a strong show in the final overs.  The bowling attack has struggled in the last two games and must execute its plans thoroughly in this game. The team expects early wickets from Khaleel Ahmed and Jamie Overton, as the Delhi Capitals have good hitters. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja will find help from the surface and must do well in the middle overs. Matheesha Pathirana and Noor Ahmed look forward to excelling in the supporting role. Delhi Capitals Preview Axar Patel has made a strong start as the team’s new skipper. The team has won both games and comes here with a 7-wicket win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Patel would like his players to continue with the winning streak. However, they have struggled against CSK in the earlier seasons, and the Delhi Capitals’ skipper wants his team to overcome that poor record.  Jake Fraser-McGurk and Faf du Plessis will be confident after their good start in the last game. The pair must lay a strong platform at the top. The middle order has looked good, and the team expects Abishek Porel, KL Rahul, and Karun Nair to build partnerships. With their hitting abilities, Tristan Stubbs and Axar Patel complete a strong batting lineup for the team.  Mitchell Starc bowled a match-winning spell in the last game, and he will look to strike early along with Mukesh Kumar and put the Super Kings under pressure. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav form a strong spin attack for the team, and their performance will be crucial. Mohit Sharma and Vipraj Nigam add variety to this bowling attack.  Weather Conditions The skies over Chennai will be clear, and we expect a good game. The wicket will play well at the start, but it will be on the slower side, where the ball isn’t going to hit the bat hard. A score of 180 runs or above will be a good one with the average first innings score around 150 runs.  CSK vs DC Pitch Report MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, is a good venue as it aids both the bowlers and the batsmen, a rarity on Indian surfaces. Batsmen must play to the ball’s merit, as fast bowlers get some early assistance from the surface. The track is slow, and spinners have always enjoyed bowling on this surface. Toss: To Bat As we saw in the last game, the wicket at Chennai is known for being a difficult surface to chase a score. The wicket tends to slow down as the game progresses. The side that wins the toss would aim to put up a good score on the board and defend it successfully.

DC vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals (DC) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face off in the 10th match of IPL 2025 in Visakhapatnam. DC kicked off their campaign with a tight victory at this very venue, which should give them a morale boost. SRH, on the other hand, started strong but stumbled in their second outing with an unexpected home loss. They’ll be eager to bounce back, but Delhi won’t go down without a fight. This one promises to be a thrilling battle. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals kicked off their IPL 2025 campaign with a nail-biting victory over Lucknow Super Giants. Chasing 210 in Visakhapatnam, they found themselves struggling at 113-6 in 12.3 overs. But a stunning rescue act from Ashutosh Sharma (66* off 31) and young gun Vipraj Nigam (39 off 15) carried them over the line in the final over with just one wicket in hand. For their next game, Delhi will be looking for more from their top and middle order. Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, and Abishek Porel couldn’t quite deliver in the previous match but have to do better here. Du Plessis has the experience to anchor an innings, but McGurk is unpredictable—he’ll either blast a quickfire 40 or fall cheaply. On a positive note, KL Rahul is expected to return after missing the first game. His presence in the middle brings much-needed stability to a batting lineup that looks fragile. The team will also be counting on Ashutosh Sharma to continue his heroics as a finisher. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview After a strong opening win against Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad looked set to continue their scintillating form. However, their momentum was halted by an unexpected loss to an understrength Lucknow Super Giants. Batting first on a favorable Hyderabad surface, SRH could only manage 190-9, a total LSG chased down with ease in just 16.1 overs. Travis Head (47 off 28) was the only batter to get going, while the rest struggled, falling in quick succession while trying to attack every delivery. This is the risk of SRH’s high-risk approach—when their top three fire, they can blow teams away with massive scores. But if they don’t, the batting collapses fast. Abhishek Sharma is a crucial player in this lineup. If he gets through the initial overs, he can take the game away. Heinrich Klaasen was unfortunate to be run out in the last match, and he looks due for a big innings this time. Weather Conditions This pitch tends to favor spinners, with the ball keeping low and making things tougher for batters in the second innings. That being said, recent matches at this venue have seen high totals, with batters making the most of favorable conditions. The weather will be hot and humid in the afternoon, but it will cool down a little during the evening. There is no forecast of rain so we will get a full match.  DC vs SRH Pitch Report Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium usually sees teams batting first put up around 168 runs. However, last season painted a different picture with the pitch offering plenty for the batters. The two matches played here saw first-innings scores soar to 191-5 and an astonishing 272-7. In IPL 2025’s first game at this ground, Lucknow Super Giants set a target of 209-8, but Delhi Capitals successfully chased it down in the final over. Both teams will be eyeing a score of over 200 runs in this match. If SRH bat first, however, even 250 can be breached.  Toss: To Bat This is an afternoon game, and batting first would be the preferred option for both teams.

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

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 :​ Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : March 24, Monday​​𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30​ PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Dr. Y.S.Rajashekar Reddy Cricket Stadium, Visakhapatnam, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : 4th IPLT20 2025 Delhi got the better of Lucknow in both meetings last season and will be looking to extend that streak to three wins in a row. Delhi Capitals 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 LSG Match Prediction & Analysis The fourth game of IPL 2025 pits Delhi Capitals against Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam. Delhi fell short last season, failing to reach the playoff stage and ending the group stage in sixth place. Lucknow performed even more poorly, finishing seventh in the standings. While both teams will be hungry to open their campaign with a victory, Delhi appear stronger than the injury-plagued Lucknow and will enter as favorites for this matchup. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals will be looking to turn things around after missing out on the playoffs for three straight seasons. They made several changes during the mega auction, bringing in fresh talent and restructuring their squad. Axar Patel has been named captain, taking over from Rishabh Pant, who has moved on to Lucknow and will now face his former team in this match. Batting at the top remains Delhi’s strongest suit this season. With Jake Fraser-McGurk, Faf du Plessis, and KL Rahul expected to lead the charge, their top order looks well-balanced. Fraser-McGurk impressed last year with his aggressive stroke play, striking at 234. Meanwhile, Du Plessis and Rahul add the experience and consistency that was missing in the previous campaign. Rahul, in particular, has been incredibly reliable, scoring 500+ runs in six of the last seven IPL seasons, making him a strong candidate to deliver a big performance in this match. Axar Patel’s all-round skills could be a game-changer. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball, especially in the middle overs, will be vital to Delhi’s success. Lucknow Super Giants Preview Like Delhi, Lucknow Super Giants too head into IPL 2025 with a fresh squad and a new leader at the helm—Rishabh Pant. After two strong seasons that ended in playoff disappointment, they slipped to seventh place last year. In response, the team has made bold moves, handing Pant the captaincy and assembling a squad packed with talent. Their lineup includes aggressive batsmen, seasoned bowlers, and versatile all-rounders ready to make an impact. Pant was Delhi Capitals’ top scorer last season with 446 runs, despite just returning from injury. Now fully fit, he is expected to be the backbone of LSG’s batting unit. The team will also count on Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran to accelerate the scoring in the middle overs, while Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, and David Miller add firepower at the back end. Miller, known for his finishing abilities, will be a crucial asset in closing out games. Injuries have unsettled Lucknow’s pace bowling attack. Avesh Khan and Akash Deep are unavailable for the first game as they continue their rehabilitation, while Mohsin Khan has been ruled out for the season. Mayank Yadav is also set to miss the first half as he recovers. To reinforce the attack, LSG have added bowling all-rounder Shardul Thakur, whose inclusion provides much-needed depth. Weather Conditions Spinners find help on this pitch where the ball stays low, which can complicate batting in the second innings, though nighttime dew occasionally tips the scales. That said, the last few matches here have produced high scores with batters enjoying excellent conditions. The weather in Visakhapatnam will be partly cloudy with a couple of showers in the afternoon that could lead to a delay in the start of the game. DC vs LSG Pitch Report Teams batting first at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium typically score around 168 runs. But last season told a different story, as the surface proved extremely batting-friendly. In the two matches hosted here, first-innings totals reached impressive heights of 191-5 and a massive 272-7. Both teams will be eyeing a first innings total of around 180-200. Toss: To Bat Batting first is usually the preferred option at Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. In fact, both matches last season in the IPL at this venue saw the team bating first register comfortable wins.

T20 World Cup: Rishabh Pant Back In Nets For Team India, Says 'Really Enjoying It'

T20 World Cup: Rishabh Pant Back In Nets For Team India, Says ‘Really Enjoying It’

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has attended his first net session with the team in New York ahead of the T20 World Cup warm-up match against Bangladesh on June 1. Pant has returned to the Indian team after nearly 17 months for the showpiece event. He made his return to competitive cricket in April in the Indian Premier League and also led his side Delhi Capitals. He not only played the full season, but also kept wickets, after recovering from multiple injuries sustained in a horrific car crash. In IPL 2024, he scored 446 runs, including three half-centuries, and finished as the highest run-getter for the franchise. He batted at a strike rate of 155.40 in the middle order. Commenting on his return to the Indian squad, the 26-year-old said he missed his teammates during his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and is enjoying being back with the team. “This is the one thing I missed a lot. Getting back on the field with the Indian jersey on, it is a different feeling altogether. I think seeing the teammates and meeting them again, spending time, having fun with them, enjoying having conversations, really enjoying it,” Pant said in a video posted by BCCI on X. “We are used to playing in certain countries but this is a different prospect. It has opened up a different channel for sport because I feel cricket is growing around the world and getting the exposure in a country like the US would be nice for cricket as well as USA cricket, I guess,” he added. Pant further said he is getting used to the conditions and that the sun shines a little brighter here in the US, and there are new pitches. “So just getting used to conditions over here and let us see how it goes. Hopefully, I make it count and make it better from here,” he concluded. India will take on Ireland in their T20 World Cup opening match in New York on June 5 before the high-octane clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on June 9.
