One of the worst sides in the league, Rajasthan Royals are awfully close to dropping to the basement of the standings. On the wrong end of a narrow defeat to SRH last time out, RR were left disappointed as they made their way home. Truth be told, they were very impressive on the day, but just couldnt match SRHs firepower. Going about his duties brilliantly, it was just another day at the office for Jofra Archer. Unfortunately, the player was left in the lurch in the previous game, as there wasnt enough support from the other bowlers. Ben Stokes and Robin Uthappa will need to deliver another superb performance here, just as they have done all season. Steve Smith will be spurring his boys on to produce something out of the top drawer, as RR remain one defeat away from losing out on playoffs.
DC United is on the last line in the East without faith in a happy and carefree future. The team ranks second from the bottom in terms of conceded goals in their conference (only Montreal Impact is worse off). So far the only consolation for the red-blacks is that over the course of two meetings the club has not lost points. They have a draw with Philadelphia Union (2:2) and a victory over Cincinnati (2:1).
