Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Delhi Capitals (DC) on Friday, May 1 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
The Royals have played nine matches so far and have six wins and three losses to show for their efforts. He is currently at fourth position in the points table. The Riyan Parag-led side will be full of confidence after chasing the target of 223 runs and ending Punjab Kings' undefeated streak in their last game.
However, one of the big concerns for them will be the disappointing form of their captain Riyan Parag. He played an important cameo in the last game, and RR fans will be hoping that this serves as a strong shot for them. The middle order also performed brilliantly in the last game, which is a good sign for them heading towards the business end of this cash-rich league.
Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals are in the position of both, having won only three and lost five games so far. They are stuck at No. 7 in the standings. Akshar Patel & Co. are losing three consecutive matches.
The Capitals will be looking to make a strong comeback after suffering a humiliating defeat in their last game against Royal Challengers Bangalore. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the hosts were bowled out for 75, with Bengaluru achieving the modest target in just 6.3 overs. A defeat on Friday will significantly reduce Delhi's chances of reaching the playoffs.
