IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Match Preview Odds & Predictions

Match 43 of the 2026 Indian Premier League will see the Rajasthan Royals face the Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Friday evening.

Rajasthan Royals Preview

The Rajasthan Royals have been inconsistent with form since the start of the ongoing Indian Premier League. However, they will come into this game on the back of an impressive six-wicket win over the Punjab Kings, with the result coming as a quick response to a defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Royals are sitting fourth in the points standings with 12 points from nine innings, and a win in this match could see them move into second place.

Rajasthan Royals XI

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag (C), Dasun Shanaka, Donovan Ferreira, Ravindra Jadeja, Jofra Archer, Brijesh Sharma, Nandre Burger, Yash Raj Punia

Delhi Capitals Preview

Delhi Capitals are coming into this game on the back of a disappointing run of form and will be in desperation to break their current losing streak. The Capitals extended their losing streak to three games with a nine-wicket thrashing by Royal Challengers Bengaluru. With five losses in the last six games, the Capitals sit seventh in the point standings with six points from eight games. They need to start winning urgently to pull themselves up to the playoff spots.

Abishek Porel (WK), KL Rahul, Nitish Rana, Sameer Rizvi, Tristan Stubbs, Axar Patel (C), David Miller, Vipraj Nigam, Mitchell Starc, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Prediction
