Delhi weather info listed below
Rajasthan Royals travel to take on Delhi Capitals in a key Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 match, with both teams needing a victory to stay in hunt for the playoffs. DC, who are on 10 points from 12 games, must win tonight, as a defeat could end their playoff hopes.
RR, on the other hand, have 12 points from 11 matches and look to comeback strongly after a week-long break and keep their slight hopes of playoff alive.
All eyes will be on starlet Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who has amassed 440 runs in 11 innings at a strike rate of 236.55, including 40 sixes. It will be interesting to see how tackles Mitchell Starc as we expect fireworks for tonight's blockbuster contest.
DC's bowling still remains a worry. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have struggled to get a grip on the game with pacers such as T. Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar unable to chip in with wickets.
For RR, their skipper Riyan Parag's batting form remains a worry whereas Jofra Archer will look to make the most of the Delhi Stadium's bounce.
