Predicted Best Performers of the Match
Best Batter – Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
Fans in Delhi will be eager to see the young batting sensation in action on Sunday. Sooryavanshi has enjoyed yet another stellar season with the bat and will want to perform well in the final three league games to help his side qualify for the playoffs. Given the relatively small boundary sizes in Delhi, one can expect the 15-year-old to capitalize and score big.
Best Bowler – Mitchell Starc
Veteran Australian seamer Mitchell Starc may have arrived late to the tournament, but his inclusion has already had a positive impact on the side. Starc will be itching to give his home fans something to cheer about with his pace bowling. The left-arm seamer will be a key weapon when he bowls to RR’s two most dangerous batters in the powerplay overs.
Who Will Win the DC vs RR Match 62 of IPL 2026?
Despite losing their last game, Rajasthan Royals hold a slight edge over Delhi and could come out as the winners. The batting form of Jaiswal and Sooryavanshi, combined with the bowling of Jofra Archer, gives the visiting side a much-needed arsenal against a struggling Capitals side. Delhi will need everything to click perfectly to overcome the Royals’ balanced lineup.
