Rajasthan Royals will host Delhi Capitals in today's IPL match at Sharjah. Both the teams found themselves at the opposite ends of a tunnel. While Delhi Capitals enter the contest on the back of a delightful victory against RCB, Rajasthan Royals will hope to recover from their loss against Mumbai Indians in their last match.
Currently, Delhi is ranked second in the IPL 2020 Points Table with four wins in five matches. The Shreyas Iyer-led side has looked by the most complete IPL franchise in the tournament so far. On the other hand, Royals, after a blistering start to their IPL campaign, have now lost three matches in a row. However, the RR fans would be encouraged by the fact that the Jaipur-based franchise will return to their favorite hunting ground as Sharjah when they next face Delhi in today's IPL match.
What to expect – Pitch and Ground conditions?
The pitch at Sharjah has been an absolute graveyard for the bowlers. In the tournament so far, over 100 sixes have been in just the four matches played at this ground. With small ground dimensions, and possibly a flat track on offer, it could well again be a six-hitting run-fest in today's IPL match between RR and DC.
