It was the Sanju Samson-led side that emerged victorious during their previous encounter. However, the Rishabh Pant-led side would want to turn the tables this time around. Besides, a loss over here could reduce their chances of making it to the playoffs. However, Delhi would be low on confidence after their humiliating defeat to Chennai. Besides, it took a severe beating to their net run rate as well.

Moreover, Delhi haven't really been consistent, and are yet to win two consecutive games. On the other hand, the Rajasthan-based franchise recently beat Punjab, and are high on confidence. Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal have unarguably been two of their best performers in the 2022 edition. Besides, several of their youngsters have already shown glimpses of their immense potential.

A win over here means that Rajasthan could have a chance to finish at either of the top two spots and thus, get two chances to make it to the grand finale. However, it isn't going to be easy as several players from the Delhi-based franchise are due for a good game. Thus, this match promises to be an exciting contest.

Pitch Conditions:

Probable Playing XIs:

Rajasthan:

Shimron Hetmyer had left the team bio-bubble for the birth of his first child. Thus, either Daryl Mitchell or Rassie van der Dussen could make their way to the XI. The Rajasthan-based franchise might also consider replacing Devdutt Padikkal with Karun Nair as the 21-year-old has struggled in the last few games.

Predicted Playing XI:

Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Devdutt Padikkal/Karun Nair, Daryl Mitchell/Rassie van der Dussen, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Kuldeep Sen, Yuzvendra Chahal

Delhi:

Although they suffered a 91-run loss during their previous game, they would want to stick to their XI. The team management would want to back their players and thus, the 2020-finalists are expected to go unchanged.

Predicted Playing XI:

David Warner, Srikar Bharat, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Ripal Patel, Shardul Thakur, Anrich Nortje, Kuldeep Yadav, Khaleel Ahmed
