Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals have played 30 matches against each other in T20 cricket. The head-to-head record is evenly split with 15 wins each. Rajasthan Royals won their last match against Punjab Kings, becoming the first team to beat them this season.

In contrast, Delhi Capitals lost their last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, getting bowled out for just 75 runs. Their batting lineup is struggling significantly. As one observer noted, “DC’s batting lineup is lacking mathematical reliability at this moment.”

Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been a standout performer for Rajasthan Royals this season. He has scored 400 runs in just nine matches, making him the third highest run-scorer. As another commentator remarked, “Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has set the IPL 2026 ablaze with his exceptional batting prowess.”

Mitchell Starc is expected to play his first match of the season for Delhi Capitals after returning from injury. If he manages to find his rhythm, he could be the difference between victory and defeat for his team.

Chasing teams have historically performed well at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Chasing teams have won 64% of all IPL matches at this venue. Rajasthan Royals have also won five of their last seven head-to-head encounters against Delhi Capitals at this stadium.
