Rajasthan Royals will target a win to get their 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign back on track as they visit struggling Delhi Capitals on Sunday. This match between the 7th-placed DC and the 6th-placed RR gives a chance for the visitors to bounce back, partly due to Delhi’s poor run at this venue, which is why our prediction is an away win.
Delhi have 10 points (W5, L7) and are nearly out of the top four race, while Rajasthan have 12 points (W6, L5) and have a game in hand over their hosts.
The Capitals stunned Punjab by three wickets in Dharamsala on Monday, with fifties from Axar Patel and David Miller leading them. That was a rare victory for Delhi, who have lost five of their last seven games. Only KL Rahul (477) remains in the top 25 batsmen of the season from Delhi, who have no bowlers in the top 20.
Rajasthan were thrashed by 77 runs last Saturday, where they conceded 229 and then got bowled out for 152 in 16.3 overs. It was their third defeat in the last four games, and the Royals need to bounce back quickly. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (440 runs) remains RR’s only representative in the top 20, while Jofra Archer (14 wickets) is quietly making his mark in the top 10 bowlers.

Our Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction
It’s a strange situation for the Rajasthan Royals, who have started the campaign with four consecutive wins but lost five of their next seven. Three of those defeats have come in a row at home in Jaipur, so they would be happy to get back on the road. Delhi are on the verge of elimination and are reportedly already planning for next season.
Both teams are going through a rough patch, but Rajasthan will feel a greater need for points as they remain alive in the top four race. Our Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals prediction is Rajasthan Royals wins.
