Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals Preview

The Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals are set to battle it out on Saturday night when they face off at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

The Capitals have had one of their most consistent home and away campaigns and sit second on percentage with only two losses to their name. If results go their way, they could have the chance to go top.

However, if that’s not the case, their percentage is significantly lower than the Super King’s. A win will keep them in a strong position to find their way into the playoffs, as they look to improve upon their runners up place last season.

Meanwhile, the Royals have started to turn their poor start to the season around, with wins in three of their last four matches against the Kings, Sunrisers, and Knight Riders (all teams that sit below them on the ladder). Their biggest test awaits them on Saturday.

It was an incredible heart-stopping triumph over the Kings last week. Kartik Tyagi took two wickets and was only hit for one run in the final over of the match to win by two runs.

However, their fielding performance will need to improve sooner rather than later, after dropping numerous catches, which was almost the cause of their defeat.

This is an intriguing game to keep your eye on. I believe it will be a tight contest, but I can’t look past the Capitals in this one.
