Of their five matches. Delhi Capitals have won four. Of their five matches, Rajasthan Royals have won two. Their recent form has been contrasting. DC have won their previous two matches and RR have just completed a hat-trick of defeats. Almost everything is clicking for Delhi but Rajasthan’s over-dependency on their top-order has been a big problematic area. Will we see a change in fortunes?
RR and DC have clashed 20 times before. RR are slightly ahead when it comes to head-to-head record by winning 11 times while DC have emerged victorious in nine of their meetings. In their last clash, DC won comfortably by five wickets.
Brace for a hot Friday but a relatively cooler night in Sharjah. It will be humid too. The temperature will reach a high of 37 degrees Celsius and fall down to a low of 28 degrees Celsius.
This has been a high-scoring venue. Every team that has played here so far, barring Sunrisers Hyderabad, has crossed the 200-run mark. RR have done that twice. DC once.
