DC vs RR 2025, Today's IPL Match Live Score: A combined batting effort by Delhi Capitals (DC) helped them pile a challenging 188/5 in 20 overs after being asked to bat first by Rajasthan Royals in the IPL encounter at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi. Rajasthan in response got off to a brisk start with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson setting the tone in the 189-chase. The duo have dealt in boundaries as DC desperately look for a breakthrough. Earlier, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abhishek Porel fired some early boundaries but before they could inflict further damage, the 34-run stand was brought to an end by Jofra Archer, who packed the former for 9(6). Shortly after a combined effort by Wanindu Hasaranga and Sandeep Sharma resulted in the dismissal of Karun Nair, who departed without troubling the scorers. KL Rahul and Porel, however, dug deep and helped Delhi recover from the twin blows. The duo added 63 off 57 balls for the third wicket before Archer removed Rahul for 38(32). Porel's resistance came to an end in the 14th over as he was dismissed by Hasaranga for 49(37). Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs then chipped in with powerful cameos towards the end as both scored 34 runs. While Stubbs took 18 deliveries and returned unbeaten, Axar hammered four boundaries and a couple of maximums in the 14 balls he faced in the middle. A win will help DC, who are in red-hot form, reclaim the top spot on the points table. Delhi are currently placed second on the ten-team table after they were handed their first loss of the season by Mumbai Indians in their previous encounter. Rajasthan, on the other hand, were thrashed by nine wickets in an one-sided affair against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The RR unit have been hit with inconsistency and will be eager to get their hands on the two points up for grabs and build some momentum.
