Rajasthan Royals will look to post consecutive wins since starting the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) with four victories, as they host Delhi Capitals in Jaipur on Friday. This match between the 3rd-placed RR and the 7th-placed DC comes with our prediction of a home win.
With 12 points (W6, L3), the Royals are just one point behind Punjab and level on points with Bengaluru, both those teams having a game in hand. Delhi have six points (W3, L5) and are only two points above the basement club Lucknow, while being two points behind fifth.
The Royals defeated Punjab Kings by six wickets in a thriller on Tuesday with Donovan Ferreira (52* off 26) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (51 off 27) leading the 223-run chase. This season has seen Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (400 runs, SR 238.09) dominate every bowling attack, while two Rajasthan bowlers are in the top-10 bowlers of the season.
Delhi are coming off a nine-wicket thrashing at the hands of RCB, where they collapsed to 75 and conceded the winning runs in 6.3 overs. Only three players got into double digits with the bat, while only one wicket was taken. That remains their problem area as no Delhi player is in the top-20 bowlers of the season, while KL Rahul remains their only representative in the top-20 batters.

Our Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Prediction
Rajasthan and Delhi are coming off contrasting results, both in terms of importance and morale. The Royals have ended the unbeaten start of Punjab Kings, while Delhi were demolished by Bengaluru in their last game. The Capitals will have to erase that defeat and try to start from ground zero, while the Royals will look to build on that win and push for a playoff spot.
