Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to host Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 1, 2026. RR aims to maintain their winning momentum against a struggling DC team.
RR has won two out of their last three matches, including a significant victory against Punjab Kings. In contrast, DC started the season strong with two wins but has only secured one victory in their last five matches.
In their last outing, RR successfully chased down a challenging target of 223 runs. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been a standout player, scoring 400 runs this season in just nine matches.
The head-to-head record between RR and DC is currently tied, with both teams having 15 wins each and one match ending in a tie. The pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium has historically favored chasing teams.
The predicted playing XI for RR includes Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and Riyan Parag. Meanwhile, DC is expected to field KL Rahul, Axar Patel, and Mitchell Starc, who is returning after a sabbatical.
According to analysts, RR has a win probability of 55%, compared to DC’s 45%. Today’s match prediction favors the chasing team to win.
Axar Patel commented on the matchup, stating, “Starc is playing and unfortunately Chameera isn’t playing.” Observers expect that the outcome will hinge on which team can better exploit the conditions at the stadium.
