Rajasthan come into Match 70 off the back of a mammoth first-innings score and will be eager to leverage their batting firepower and settled bowling attack to convert draws into victories. Delhi, meanwhile, are under pressure — their inconsistency with the bat and lack of match-clinching spells has prevented them from winning. With the stakes rising, Rajasthan have a chance to build momentum, while Delhi must produce a performance that combines grit with scoring power to avoid slipping further in the points race.

Rajasthan’s strength lies in their top and middle order, backed by an attack that can build pressure through both seam and spin.
Batting notes: Mahipal Lomror and Deepak Hooda form a dangerous 1–2 punch. Their recent innings of 600+ (in a previous match) underscores their capacity to play long innings. Their lower-middle order, with Karan Lamba and Manender Singh, has also contributed crucial touches, but they'll be looking for more consistent partnerships throughout.
Bowling notes: Ajay Kukna Singh brings disciplined seam bowling, capable of early swing, while Manav Suthar offers control and guile in the spin department. Together, they form a well-rounded attack that can exploit Rajsamand’s surface.
Key players: Mahipal Lomror, Deepak Hooda, Manav Suthar, Ajay Kukna Singh

Delhi have the talent, but not yet the consistency. Their batting has shown flashes, and their bowling attack has wicket-taking options — but they must deliver balance and grit under pressure.
Batting notes: Ayush Badoni has been in solid touch, while Sanat Sangwan provides stability and experience. Himmat Singh and Yash Dhull will need to shoulder responsibility and form the backbone of Delhi’s innings.
Bowling notes: Simarjeet Singh is likely to lead from the front with the new ball, while Sumit Mathur will be expected to bowl long spells and maintain pressure. If they can strike early, Delhi could control the game.

Forecasts suggest dry weather and settled conditions for the four days, so teams should get a full game without major interruptions.
The match will be played in Rajsamand, where the pitch typically provides a balanced contest — early seam movement in the mornings gives way to a flat deck, and perhaps occasional turn later on. Past games here suggest that a first-innings score of 320–350 can be very competitive.
Given the conditions, captains may prefer to bat first, aim for a big first innings, and apply scoreboard pressure.
Rajasthan enter this clash as favourites — their batting firepower, home comfort and consistent bowling give them a strong edge. Delhi need significantly better contributions from the top and middle order — plus early wickets — to stay in the match. Unless Delhi produce a standout batting performance and sustained bowling intensity, Rajasthan are likely to dominate
Rajasthan are more likely to take the first-innings lead or win the match.
