DC vs RR Team Previews
Delhi Capitals
Delhi had won just one of their first five matches in the 2024 IPL, but have since bounced back with four wins in their next six fixtures. They remain in the hunt for a play-off berth in the next stage of the tournament. The Capitals are still in pursuit of a maiden Indian Premier League title.
Rishabh Pant has been their standout performer with the bat this season - and earned himself a spot in India's squad for next month's T20 World Cup. Pant has collected 398 runs in 11 innings for Delhi this season. Keep an eye on the performances of young Delhi stars Tristan Stubbs and Jake Fraser-McGurk, too.
Mukesh Kumar has taken 13 wickets for the Capitals this year, while Kuldeep Yadava and Khaleel Ahmed have 12 each. The right-arm seamer, left-arm seamer and left-arm wrist spinner exemplify the variety and success among Delhi's bowlers in this year's tournament.

Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan have won four games in a row, twice, this IPL season. They have collected just two defeats in 10 matches. Their most recent result, though, was defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad - and they'd like to hit back against the Delhi Capitals. The Royals are trying to repeat their title-winning success from 2008.
Riyan Parag and Sanju Samson have been Rajasthan's most prolific batters this IPL season. Parag has 409 runs to Samson's 385. Both players are averaging more than 50 and striking at 150-plus per 100 deliveries. They could be key in isolation or combination in this match.
Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan and Trent Boult have taken 10 or more wickets each this IPL season for the Royals. Chahal has 13 and has arguably been the best leg-spinner at the tournament. Conditions in Dehli could suit his exploits with extra turn and bounce.
