TEAMS PREVIEW

Rajasthan Lions Preview

The Lions have been one of the most consistent teams. They have won 3 out of 4, including a solid 27-run victory over Gurugram Thunders last time out.

Batting has clicked nicely. Naman Ojha has been the star opener, with 126 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 143.18, with knocks of 66 off 43 and 51 off 28 standing out. Captain Eoin Morgan, opening the batting, has been explosive too, scoring 90 runs at a 160.71 strike rate.

The middle order looks strong. Callum Ferguson and Morgan have hit 90s, while Suresh Raina anchors things with 82 runs at a quick 164 strike rate. JP Duminy adds calm and finishing power.

Bowling has been sharp as well for the Rajasthan Lions. Spin duo Jesal Karia and Bipul Sharma lead with 7 wickets each. Shadab Jakati and JP Duminy have combined for 10 wickets, and pacers Anureet Singh and Abhimanyu Mithun chip in with 3 wickets each.

Rajasthan Lions Predicted Playing XI:

Naman Ojha (WK), Eoin Morgan (C), Callum Ferguson, Suresh Raina, JP Duminy, Angelo Perera, Ben Cutting, Jesal Karia, Bipul Sharma, Anureet Singh, Shadab Jakati, Abhimanyu Mithun.

Rajasthan Lions Actual Playing XI:

Jean Paul Duminy, Eoin Morgan, Pinal Shah, Shadab Jakati, Anureet Singh, Callum Ferguson, Abhimanyu Mithun, Ben Cutting, Jaykrishan Kolsawal, Jesal Karia, Angelo Perera, Parvinder Awana

Delhi Warriors Preview

Delhi Warriors have been the most in-form team in the tournament. They have won all four matches they have played in the World Legends Pro T20 League 2026, including a spectacular chase against Gurugram Thunders in their last match.

Chasing 173, they were at one stage at 5-61 but managed to recover from there, led by the prolific batting performance from Sheldon Jackson, who scored 59 runs off 38 balls, and Sekkugge Prasanna added the finishing touches with 36 off 14 balls at a strike rate of 257.14.

However, Chadwick Walton leads the team in runs scored by a significant margin. Walton has scored 215 runs in 4 matches at a strike rate of 195.45, but the 2nd top scorer is Sreevats Goswami with 113 runs. Sheldon Jackson’s brilliant display in the last match meant he became just the third player to score 100 or more runs for the Delhi Warriors.

On the bowling front, it's not been spectacular. Subodh Bhati is the team’s top wicket-taker with 6 wickets, including a 3-wicket haul in the first match itself. 

Sri Lankan pacer Isuru Udana has taken 5 wickets, while the spin bowling duo of Shahbaz Nadeem and Harbhajan Singh have only combined for 8 wickets, with 4 each for both. There is a need for much more quality and a team effort from the bowling unit.

Delhi Warriors Predicted Playing XI:

Chadwick Walton, Sreevats Goswami (WK), Sourabh Tiwary, Gurkeerat Mann, Sheldon Jackson, Obus Pienaar, Sekkugge Prasanna, Isuru Udana (C), Pawan Negi, Subodh Bhati, Diwesh Pathania.

Delhi Warriors Actual Playing XI:

Diwesh Pathania, Shahbaz Nadeem, Rahul Shukla, Suboth Bhati, SP Jackson, Chadwick Walton, Gurkeerat Singh Mann, Seekkuge Prasanna, Saurabh Tiwary, Obus Pienaar, Yogesh Takawale, Pawan Negi

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weather forecast in Goa on Monday is expected to be very sunny. The temperature is going to be high around 33°C and low at 27°C. There will be winds blowing towards the southwest at 13 kmph, and there is a 0% probability of precipitation, ensuring there is no threat of rain at all during the match.

RL vs DW Pitch Report

The 1919 Sports Cricket ground in Goa has been more favourable towards batters. Good pace and bounce off the surface let players connect shots cleanly, and the surface stays consistent for the rest of the match. Totals over 175 can be match-winning if the bowlers step up nicely and get some help later in the game, especially in the second innings with variations. Spinners have done really well as the game slows down in the 2nd inning a tad bit.

Toss: To Bat

The captain who wins the toss would want to bat first. The pitch surface is at its best at the start of the game, allowing for the batters to play their shots freely. The spin bowlers are likely to extract help from the surface in the 2nd inning, making chasing totals beyond the 175 mark very difficult.
