The Delhi Capitals are unquestionably the season's best team, having won four of their first five games. They could have won the fifth game as well, but for a series of run-outs at the conclusion of the innings faced by the Mumbai Indians. The Rajasthan Royals, on the contrary hand, have suffered several crushing defeats in their first six games and have only two wins this season. We believe the Delhi Capitals have a confident team that will have an advantage over the Rajasthan Royals in this home game. Considering the team combination, Delhi Capitals is expected to win this match.
