Delhi Capitals will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals at Arun Jaitley Stadium in the capital city of India as the Indian Premier League shifts towards its business end. With RR almost qualified for the playoffs; DC have a lot to play for as their chances for qualifications depend upon ifs and buts.

Capitals have managed to win five games out of 11, and hence three wins in three games would be their aim ideally. The Rishabh Pant-led team is in fine form as they have won four games out of the last six they’ve played.

On the other hand, Royals’ camp is one of the happier sides this season as they have been in top two for most of the campaign. Experiencing 10 games so far, they have lost just a couple of times. The pink side would be having an eye at finishing in the top two for extra benefit in the playoffs.

Arun Jaitley Delhi Pitch Report and Weather

A total 1413 runs have been scored in just 3 games at Arun Jaitley Stadium this season. 266, 224, 257 are the first innings scores, with all three successfully defended.

Nevertheless, the margin of victory was not very high. This strongly suggests that we can expect another run-fest at Delhi. With the short boundaries, plenty of runs are on offer but bowlers sticking at their strengths may succeed here. 

Temperature between 37-40 degrees celsius is forecast. Dew could be a factor so the toss winning captain may prefer to chase.
