Delhi Capitals would need 200 runs to get their maiden points on the board. Honestly, it felt they would be chasing much more looking at the start that RR got.

Pitch Report
The pitch seems a belter to bat on. However few marks can be spotted on the pitch, hence it might grip for spinners. Captains winning the toss might look to bat first here.
Build-Up….
The match 11 of Indian Premier League 2024 will feature Rajasthan Royals (RR) taking on Delhi Capitals (DC) locking horns at Guwahati. Follow this feed for all updates on RR vs DC, IPL 2024 Match 11.
Delhi Capitals have now suffered two defeats in a row now and would need to regroup together. They would look to bounce back on with a win. Their misfiring batting would be presented with a wonderful opportunity to get some runs under the belt.
Rajasthan Royals now have 1 win and 1 loss in the matches they have played. Deciding to chase, they fell 5 short of victory against the Punjab Kings. They would like to come back strong with a win in this encounter.
So How will the pitch play?……The pitch at Guwahati is batting-friendly and would keep the bowlers on their toes. The last game at this venue produced 389 runs in 40 overs. However last game was an evening game hence Dew played a role. This being an afternoon game, we can expect dew to stay away. We can expect another high-scoring encounter.
