High-flying Delhi Capitals will be looking to continue their winning run when they lock horns against beleaguered Rajasthan Royals in Match 23 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020.

Both the teams had started their campaign with two wins followed by a defeat. But while Delhi Capitals bounced back to win their following three games, Royals lost all three. With every passing game, Delhi Capitals have looked stronger and stronger while Royals’ problems only increased with each defeat.

Jos Buttler scored a fighting fifty in the previous outing but the failure of other batsmen saw Royals lose to Mumbai Indians. Captain Steve Smith and Sanju Samson’s poor run with the bat continued. Both the players started the tournament with two back-to-back fifties but have struggled in the last three games.

The bowling has not looked strong either and is over reliant on Jofra Archer. Royals will have to play out of their skin to beat Delhi Capitals who are looking unstoppable at the moment. Their top-order, middle-order as well as bowling department are looking really strong.
