Rajasthan Royals welcome Delhi Capitals to the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Friday evening riding a wave of confidence after their dramatic victory over Punjab Kings, a result that lifted them to third place briefly in the IPL 2026 standings with 12 points from nine matches.

Delhi Capitals trudge into town in the opposite state of mind entirely. Three wins from eight matches, a net run rate of minus 1.060, and the memory of being skittled for 75 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru still painfully fresh.
They were 8 for 6 inside three overs that evening and that statistic that tells its own uncomfortable story.
Rajasthan Royals vs. Delhi Capitals prediction: Who Will Win
Form is a peculiar thing in T20 cricket. It can desert a side without warning, but right now Rajasthan Royals have it in abundance especially after their last game. Delhi Capitals on the other side are desperately short of it.
Rajasthan Royals are arriving here having defeated an unbeaten Punjab Kings side at Mullanpur, a performance full of character, quality and genuine firepower.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is batting in a manner that defies both his age and rational explanation, while the rest of the lineup is offering balance and depth that Delhi simply cannot match at present.
Delhi Capitals are a side at war with themselves. A team that could not defend 264 one week and then collapsed to 75 the next tells you everything about where their confidence currently sits. The contradictions are baffling and the vulnerabilities are real.
Jaipur has historically favoured the chasing side and Rajasthan, buoyant and settled, look perfectly equipped to exploit that advantage should they need to. Delhi will need something extraordinary to turn this around.
