Preview

In the 62nd match of the IPL 2026, Delhi Capitals will take on Rajasthan Royals. Delhi Capitals delivered an impressive performance in their previous match, securing a thrilling 3-wicket victory over Punjab Kings. Batting first, Punjab posted a competitive total of 210 runs, but Delhi chased it down comfortably in just 19 overs thanks to a dominant batting display.

During the chase, Delhi’s top order failed to provide a solid start. However, Axar Patel played a crucial knock of 56 runs, while David Miller added an important 51-run contribution. On the bowling side, Delhi struggled to make a major impact, though Mitchell Starc and Madhav Tiwari managed to pick up two wickets each.

On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals have shown decent form this season and currently occupy the fifth spot on the points table with six wins from 11 matches. However, they faced a disappointing outing in their last game, suffering a heavy 77-run defeat against the Gujarat Titans. Gujarat posted a massive total of 229 runs batting first, while Rajasthan were bowled out for just 152 in reply.

In the batting department, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi provided an explosive start with a quickfire 36 off 16 balls, while Ravindra Jadeja contributed a valuable 38 runs. Apart from them, the rest of the batting lineup failed to make a significant impact. Their bowling unit also struggled, with Brijesh Sharma being the only notable performer after claiming two wickets.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi is traditionally known to be a batting-friendly surface. The flat and firm nature of the wicket early in the match allows batters to play their shots freely and score good runs. However, as the game progresses, spinners can get some assistance in the middle overs. The fast outfield and relatively short boundaries definitely provide scoring opportunities to batters. The average first-innings score at this venue stands at around 172, indicating the potential for a high-scoring contest.
