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.
As of early Tuesday, RR has won two out of their last three matches. This includes a significant victory over Punjab Kings, where they successfully chased down a target of 223 runs.
In contrast, DC started the season strong with two wins but has only managed one victory in their last five outings. Their recent form raises concerns about their chances against RR.
Key statistics:
- The head-to-head record between RR and DC is tied at 15 wins each, with one match resulting in a tie.
- Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has scored 400 runs in nine matches this season.
- RR has a win probability of 55%, while DC stands at 45%.
Mitchell Starc returns for DC after a sabbatical. Axar Patel commented, “Starc is playing and unfortunately Chameera isn’t playing.” This adds an interesting dynamic to the match-up.
The pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium traditionally favors chasing teams. Observers expect today’s match prediction to favor the chasing team once again.
RR’s predicted playing XI includes Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, and Riyan Parag. Meanwhile, DC’s lineup is expected to feature KL Rahul, Axar Patel, and Mitchell Starc.
