Back at their fortress in Delhi, the Capitals will be eager to bounce back after a narrow defeat to the Mumbai Indians (MI) that ended their unbeaten run. With four wins in six games, Axar Patel’s men are still looking like title contenders, boasting a red-hot spin trio and a middle order that’s firing. Rajasthan Royals (RR), meanwhile, are struggling in eighth place with just two wins and come into this game on the back of a demoralising nine-wicket loss. With their batting out of sync and facing a spin-heavy DC attack, Sanju Samson’s side have their task cut out at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
