In the upcoming 56th match of IPL 2024, Delhi Capitals (DC) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) will clash at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
For Delhi, it’s not just a must-win game; they also need to secure victory by a significant margin to bolster their net run rate. Despite a shaky start, losing four of their first five games, they revived themselves, winning four consecutive matches. However, a recent heavy defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders has dampened their prospects again.
On the other hand, RR has emerged as one of the standout teams of the season, and have already qualified for the playoffs. They will still treat this as a must-win game to secure a top-two finish in the group standings. This would grant them the advantage of playing in Qualifier 1, providing a safety net with a second chance to reach the final even in case of a loss.
Since the inception of the IPL in 2008, DC and RR have crossed swords a total of 28 times, with RR holding a slight edge, triumphing in 15 encounters compared to DC’s 13 victories. In their recent six meetings, RR has maintained dominance, emerging victorious in five encounters. However, at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, DC boasts historical supremacy, having won five of the eight games.
Ahead of match 56 of the IPL 2024, here is all you need to know.
