Preview
Delhi Capitals will host Rajasthan Royals in the 56th match of the IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. With two wins in their last three matches, DC are in decent form in the IPL 2024, but they haven’t been consistent enough to find themselves in the top four at the business end of the tournament. Meanwhile, RR suffered a tough loss on the last ball against SRH, their second of the season, but still, they are firmly placed on top of the IPL points table, needing one more win to effectively secure their spot in the playoffs.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi have been quite high-scoring in the IPL 2024, with teams scoring totals above 200 runs consistently. With that, the average first innings score of 169 at this venue in the history of the IPL, is certainly far from enough to defend, especially in a short ground in the nation’s capital.
Team Analysis
Delhi Capitals
In the absence of David Warner through injury, Jake Fraser-McGurk has taken up the mantle to provide explosive starts to Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2024, allowing the likes of Abishek Porel, the captain Rishabh Pant, and Tristan Stubbs to consolidate the innings. In the bowling department, DC spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel have been quite good as a pairing, and they have been completed well by the pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar.

Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals batting lineup, including the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, the captain Sanju Samson, and Riyan Parag, is in very good form in the ongoing IPL 2024 season, putting big totals on the board regularly. The fast bowlers of RR have been quite efficient in the tournament, namely Trent Boult, Sandeep Sharma, and Avesh Khan, but the spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravichandran Ashwin have struggled for them in the last few matches.

Delhi Capitals have blown hot and cold during their IPL 2024 campaign, which is why it will be quite difficult for them to upstage a team as consistent as Rajasthan Royals this season.
