DC vs RR IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant's Delhi Capitals (DC) will host Sanju Samson's Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 56 of IPL 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Tuesday, May 7.

Rajasthan Royals, who lost their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by one run, are occupying the second spot after eight wins in 10 games. They look set to book a playoffs berth.

Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, have found good rhythm in the second-half of their campaign. They lost their last match against KKR by seven wickets, but have won four of their last six matches.

The match is extremely crucial from Delhi's point of view to keep themselves in the hunt for a playoff berth. The two teams met each other on March 28 this season as RR defeated DC by 12 runs.

"There is not a cloud in the sky and the mercury is almost touching 40, 39 degrees for an afternoon fixture. We will get to the pitch, but first the dimensions - to my left 59 meters, on the other side 64 meters and down town is roughly about 73, but the major concern is 54 meters behind the wicket on one side," Danny Morrison and Sanjay Manjrekar said ahead of the DC vs MI clash - the last match between the two sides.

"The only difference I see today is it is quite bare, there is no grass here and you'd think wow that is going to be brilliant for the spinners. It is going to be slightly better for the spinners, but the problem for the bowlers is it is rock hard. It is like a sheet of marble. No grass will allow the spinners to have a bit of turn and if you look at the spin attacks, Delhi have a slight advantage. Nothing for the seamers," he said.

In the match, Delhi Capitals scored 257/4 after being asked to bat first. MI pacers and spinners picked two wickets each. Mumbai Indians finished at 247/9 in 20 overs. Delhi pacers picked eight wickets in the match.

The average score in the last five T20s is 227. Teams winning the toss have opted to bowl 71 percent of the time in the last five years.
