On May 1, 2026, the Rajasthan Royals will host the Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, aiming for a second consecutive victory while Delhi seeks to break a three-match losing streak.
The stakes are high as Rajasthan Royals currently sit fourth on the IPL 2026 points table with 12 points from nine matches. In contrast, Delhi Capitals find themselves struggling in seventh place with just six points from eight games. The head-to-head record between these two teams stands even, with each side winning 15 out of the 30 matches played.
Rajasthan Royals come into this match on a positive note, having recently defeated Punjab Kings by six wickets. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been a standout performer for them, scoring 400 runs in nine games. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals are looking to recover from their last match loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, where they fell short by nine wickets. KL Rahul leads their batting charts with 358 runs at an impressive average of 51.14.
In terms of bowling, Jofra Archer has been exceptional for the Royals, claiming 14 wickets across nine matches. Meanwhile, both Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have contributed significantly for Delhi Capitals with seven wickets each.
This matchup is particularly intriguing as last season saw Rajasthan Royals lose to Delhi Capitals in a nail-biting Super Over finish. Fans will be eager to see if history repeats itself or if Rajasthan can assert their dominance this time around.
The match is set to start at 7:30 PM IST and will be available for live streaming and telecast. With both teams desperate for points—Rajasthan aiming to climb higher in the standings and Delhi fighting to stay relevant—this encounter promises excitement and intensity.
