In the previous encounter between the two teams, Rajasthan Royals notched a breathtaking victory in a high-scoring battle. English batter Jos Buttler was the show stealer as he smashed an explosive ton making 116 off 65 deliveries. The Delhi-based franchise fell 15 runs short while chasing down a mammoth target of 223.
Rajasthan Royals will be high on confidence after coming off a beautiful win against Punjab Kings in their last match. Their batters clicked well and helped them clinch a 6-wicket victory.
On the other hand, the Rishabh Pant-led side suffered a defeat against defending champions Chennai Super Kings in their last fixture. Electing to bowl first, they could not restrict the Yellow Army from putting up a 200-plus score on board. In reply, Delhi’s innings came to an end at only 117 as their batting lineup was a rare failure. They need to bounce back in the next match to keep them alive in the playoffs race.
