Rajasthan Royals are favourites for this match given Delhi Capitals' unpredictability in IPL 2026. A win for RR could see them climb up the ladder and take the second spot in the points table. DC's victory would be vital for them and taken them above CSK. However, Google have given RR 57% chance of winning the match to DC's 43%.

Rajasthan Royals will head into this clash brimming with confidence after their win over Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Tuesday. Playing in New Chandigarh, they successfully chased down 223 to hand PBKS their first loss of the season. With two wins in their last three matches, RR have found strong momentum. A victory against Delhi Capitals could even take them to the top of the points table, as RCB lost their chance to go at the top after losing against GT.

Notably, RR have just one match scheduled in the next 15 days after this fixture.

Expect the weather to be hot on Friday evening in Jaipur. The temperature will be around 37°C, with an average humidity between 20 and 30 percent. However, the temperatures could drop as night time approaches.

The first ball will be bowled at 7:30pm IST, with the toss scheduled for 7pm. The RR vs DC, IPL 2026 match will be telecast on the Star Sports Network TV channels in India and live streamed on the JioHotstar app and website in the country.
