THE LOWDOWN

RAJASTHAN ROYALS

• Rajasthan Royals came out the right end of a nail-biting encounter with Punjab Kings this past weekend, chasing down 190 runs with six wickets and two balls to spare, taking them to seven wins across the tournament so far.
• With his first child due to arrive imminently, the Royals are expected to be without all-rounder Shimron Hetmyer, who has flown back home for the very special occasion, although the West Indian is set to return to the Rajasthan camp very soon.

DELHI CAPITALS

• Delhi Capitals will need to summon up plenty of strength to respond positively here after being thrashed by Chennai Super Kings last time out, the margin of defeat a whopping 91 runs.
• The Capitals will be desperately hoping that Prithvi Shaw is well enough to return to the fold, as the opener has not been available recently after being hospitalised due to a fever with an over-reliance on David Warner at the top of the order as a result.

THE PREDICTION

With neither of these teams expected to be at full-strength, an intriguing battle is in process. Although Delhi Capitals have historically bounced back from a poor previous performance extremely well, here they face a Rajasthan Royals who boasts a vastly experienced core and may well sense an opportunity to run through this Delhi batting line-up in the same way that Chennai did, provided they take the early wicket of Warner. Although an improved showing is expected from the Capitals compared to their last match, it is still worth backing Rajasthan Royals to overcome them.
