Delhi Capitals (DC) are gearing up to take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on May 7 at 7:30 pm. In the ongoing season, DC has managed to secure 5 wins out of 11 matches, positioning them at the 6th spot on the points table. Their recent performance has been commendable, with victories in 3 of their last five games.

On the other hand, RR finds themselves in a formidable position, holding the 2nd spot with 8 wins out of 10 matches. Their consistent performance is evident from winning 4 out of their last five games, reflecting their strong form in the tournament.

As the competition heats up, DC is striving to clinch victories in their remaining three games. However, the road to qualification for the last four stage appears challenging, considering the tough competition from teams like KKR, Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Lucknow Super Giants, all in contention to surpass the 16-point mark.

Despite their impressive standing on the points table, RR remains focused on securing a playoff berth and maintaining the momentum.

The upcoming match will be held at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, a venue known for its high-scoring encounters throughout the ongoing season, offering little relief for bowlers. Batsmen will need to capitalize on the powerplay overs, while bowlers must maintain precision in their line and length. As the match progresses, the pitch is expected to become more favorable for batting. Given these conditions, teams may prefer to chase down the totals set by their opponents.
