In contrast, Rajasthan Royals have had a shaky start. Despite a strong lineup, they have managed to win only two of their six matches so far, losing the remaining four. The team will be looking for a much-needed comeback win today.
Pitch & Conditions: The Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi has historically been a high-scoring venue with short boundaries and a flat surface. However, the pitch can also offer some grip and turn in the second half, which might assist spinners. The weather is expected to remain clear throughout the evening, ensuring a full match without interruptions.
