Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals go head to head on Thursday evening in Match 9 of the 2024 Indian Premier League. The Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs in their opening game of the tournament whilst Delhi Capitals were beaten by Punjab Kings by 4 wickets. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 19:30 local time at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on 28th March.
Pitch Report:
As seen in the previous game, the surface at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur was a bit dry, with no movement for the pacers. However, with the second game being in the evening, the pitch could favour the batters, and a high-scoring encounter could be quite the possibility on such a pitch.

Stats that Matter for Today’s Match Prediction
RR Key Players
- Sanju Samson - The captain scored three fours and six sixes in his unbeaten innings in Match 4. He has a fine record at this level and will be key in this game.
- Yashasvi Jaiswal - The left-handed opener reached 24 before he was dismissed against Lucknow Super Giants and he was hitting the ball just as cleanly as we saw during the Test series against England.
- Trent Boult - The left-arm pace bowler remains one of the most consistent IPL opening bowlers. He comes into this game after dismissing Quinton de Kock and Devdutt Padikkal from his first two overs in the last match.
- Ravichandran Ashwin - The bowling all-rounder got the crucial wicket of Marcus Stoinis halfway through the 18th over against Lucknow and he was accurate throughout.
- Yuzvendra Chahal - Chahal finished with figures of 1/25 in the first match and in the last match against Delhi Capitals, he picked 3 crucial wickets. He is about to reach the 200-wicket mark in the IPL.
DC Key Players
- David Warner - The experienced Australian opener has scored 12094 T20 runs across his career and looks likely to add plenty more in this IPL season.
- Mitchell Marsh - The batting all-rounder hit two fours and two sixes at the top of the order and we can expect a similarly attacking approach in this match.
- Kuldeep Yadav - The left-arm wrist spinner is a handy lower-order batter but showed his quality with the ball by dismissing Prabhsimran Singh and Jitesh Sharma in Match 2.
- Khaleel Ahmed - The 26 year old left-arm fast medium bowler will be looking to be more economical in this match but will be confident after taking two wickets in an over to begin the tournament.
- Shai Hope - He was the highest run scorer of the innings for DC in the last game against PBKS, so DC will have some hope from Shai Hope in the next match as he looks in confident form. He scored 33 off 25 deliveries in the first match.
