Shreyas Iyer & Co. are currently at the third spot with 12 points from 10 games and would like to win at least two more games to seal their berth in the top four.
On the other hand, Rajasthan have six points from nine games and need to win all their remaining games to make it to the play-offs.
Toss Update:
DC have won the toss and they have decided to bowl first. The visitors have made one change to the side – Chris Morris returns into the playing XI to replace Nepali leggie, Sandeep Lamichhane.
“We're gonna bowl first. Majority of the sides have won chasing here, so we're going by that. Our side likes chasing these days and that gives confidence for us,” said Iyer at the toss.
On the other hand, Rajasthan have fielded the same XI for tonight’s clash against DC.
“Looks better than most of the surfaces we've seen here. I would have bowled first as well because we don't know if dew will be a factor but well, have to bat first and bat well. We haven't played as well as we would have liked here, or anywhere for that matter. Hopefully, we can take confidence from that and move forward. We're unchanged,” said Smith.
Here are the playing XIs:
Delhi Capitals: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Colin Ingram, Chris Morris, Sherfane Rutherford, Axar Patel, Kagiso Rabada, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma
Rajasthan Royals: Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson(w), Steven Smith(c), Ben Stokes, Riyan Parag, Ashton Turner, Stuart Binny, Shreyas Gopal, Jofra Archer, Jaydev Unadkat, Dhawal Kulkarni
