DC vs RR Team Previews

Delhi Capitals

The Delhi Capitals have been rather inconsistent in their performance, managing to win only five of the twelve matches played so far. They are currently placed seventh on the points table and must win both their upcoming games to remain in contention for the playoffs.

The Delhi Capitals will expect a strong start from KL Rahul and Abishek Porel. While Rahul has been in sublime form, scoring 477 runs at an average of 43, Porel has failed to convert his starts into big knocks. In the middle order, there are plenty of big names, including Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Nitish Rana, and Sameer Rizvi.

While they have played a couple of good knocks, most of them lack consistency, which has been one of the main reasons for Delhi’s mediocre performances. The inconsistencies continue in the bowling department as well.

Despite having excellent seam bowlers like Mitchell Starc and Lungi Ngidi, the team has been unable to contain the opposition batsmen and has conceded too many runs. Kuldeep Yadav has also struggled this year, managing to pick up only seven wickets in eleven games.

Delhi Capitals Expected Playing 11

KL Rahul (WK), Abishek Porel, Sahil Parakh, Tristan Stubbs, David Miller, Axar Patel (C), Ashutosh Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, Auqib Nabi, Mitchell Starc, Lungi Ngidi

Impact Player: Madhav Tiwari / Pathum Nissanka

Rajasthan Royals

The Rajasthan Royals’ form has seen a severe dip over the last few weeks, as the team has lost five of its last seven games. As a result, they have slipped to sixth place on the points table and will be desperate to turn things around.

A lot will depend on how Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal will bat in this match. They are the top two run-getters for the team and have been the driving force behind the team’s success. The middle order has been a big letdown.

Barring Dhruv Jurel and Donovan Ferreira, the batsmen have struggled and have failed to convert their starts. Shimron Hetmeyer, Riyan Parag, and Ravindra Jadeja are all well-experienced batsmen, and the team will expect a better performance from them. Jofra Archer will continue to lead the attack with the new ball and will be joined by Tushar Deshpande and Brijesh Sharma.

The Rajasthan Royals are likely to bring back Ravi Bishnoi to lead the spin department alongside Ravindra Jadeja.

Rajasthan Royals Expected Playing 11

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmeyer, Ravindra Jadeja, Donovan Ferreira, Dasun Shanaka, Jofra Archer, Tushar Deshpande, Brijesh Sharma

Impact Player: Ravi Bishnoi / Shubham Dubey

DC vs RR Toss Prediction

In four of the six matches played here so far this season, the team winning the toss opted to field first, and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is among the more balanced venues in this tournament, and has seen average first-inning scores of around 172 runs. The surface is on the slower side, and the batsmen need to be careful while selecting their shots. The spinners can expect some help as the ball gets older.

The weather is expected to remain hot with temperatures over 35 degrees.

There might be some dew as the match progresses.

DC vs RR : Who Will Win?

Both teams have been inconsistent in their performance this season and will be desperate for a win here. DC has zero margin of error and that might actually help free it up a little. RR has been so dependent on Sooryavanshi and Jaiswal that if they fall early, they look beatable. From a bettors view, it makes sense to bet on the underdog and hedge as the opportuunities arise.

Bet on Delhi Capitals to win.
