Delhi were shocked on their home ground last time out by Mumbai in a match they could have won. That was their only defeat of the season, and they will look to bounce back against a Rajasthan side that is struggling on the road. I am backing Delhi to win here.
- Delhi won 4 of their last 5 matches at this venue.
- Rajasthan won 4 of their last 5 matches at this venue.
- Delhi won the last 3 matches at this venue against Rajasthan.
- Rajasthan lost 8 of their last 12 matches against Delhi in the IPL.
Head to Head
This is a very close fixture in terms of results, as Rajasthan won 15 and Delhi won 14 of the 29 matches played between the sides so far. That said, most of Delhi’s wins have come in recent years, as the Capitals won eight of their last 12 matches against the Royals.
Last season saw these teams trade one win each, with the Royals winning by 12 runs in Jaipur and the Capitals winning by 20 runs at this venue.
Delhi Capitals Form
Delhi Capitals are second in the standings with eight points from five matches and are tied with four teams on the same tally after Monday. They won their first four matches of the season before losing to the Mumbai Indians at this venue on Sunday.
That was a game they should have won after Karun Nair’s brilliant debut for the franchise (89 off 40). It is still KL Rahul (200 runs, SR 163.93) who remains their best batter with two 50+ scores in four innings.
Sunday was an off-day for Mitchell Starc (3-0-43-0), who has nine wickets in the tournament. Kuldeep Yadav (4-0-23-2) was brilliant even at the weekend, taking his tally in the tournament to ten wickets (ER 5.60).
Delhi Capitals Team News
Faf du Plessis was injured and missed the last game. Delhi may have to worry about Jake Fraser-McGurk’s lack of runs.
Rajasthan Royals Form
Rajasthan Royals are eighth in the standings with four points from six matches, the same tally as Mumbai Indians above and Hyderabad and Chennai below them.
The Royals lost their two recent games, including a nine-wicket defeat to Bengaluru on Sunday. Yashasvi Jaiswal sparkled with 75 runs in that match, but no Royals’ batter has aggregated more than Sanju Samson’s 193 runs in the season.
The bowlers failed to make inroads at the weekend and allowed the target to be chased within 17.3 overs. That remains a worry throughout the season, as no Royals’ bowler has taken more than six wickets or conceded fewer than 9.33 runs per over.

Maheesh Theekshana looked ineffective and could lose his spot to Fazalhaq Farooqi or Kwena Maphaka.

Verdict
Delhi were unfortunate to lose to the Mumbai Indians in their last match, effectively because they failed in specific periods of the game. Will they be able to bounce back immediately? The Royals have been inconsistent this season and have struggled on the road. I am putting my money on Delhi winning here.
