DC vs RR Prediction

The weekends are approaching, and rightly so the IPL is all geared up to spice things up. To start the proceedings of the entertainment guaranteed venue of IPL 2020, the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium will host the clash between the table-toppers Delhi Capitals and the team that ruled Sharjah in week one of IPL 2020, Rajasthan Royals. RR will be pinning their hopes on their past form in Sharjah to turn-around their fortunes.

Strength

Delhi Capitals:

• DC has a strong batting line-up. Top-4 packed by top Indian batsmen along with Hetmyer and Stoinis makes them a strong force.
• The Proteas duo of Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje has been impressive in this tournament so far.
• The current batting form of their captain Shreyas Iyer is a huge boost to this Delhi side.
• A well balanced and settled batting eleven.

Rajasthan Royals:

• In Buttler, Smith, and Samson, they have one of the most dynamic top three that a T20 team could ever wish for.
• They were dominant in the 2 matches played in Sharjah.
• Most of their players who bat in the lower middle order can be very handy with the bat. Players like Rahul Tewatia and Jofra Archer provides much greater batting depth to RR.
• In Jofra Archer, they have one of the best T20 death over specialist.

Weakness

Delhi Capitals:

• Rabada and Nortje would need proper support from their domestic pace bowlers. DC has already tried out four options in Avesh Khan, Mohit Sharma, Ishant Sharma, and Harshal Patel. DC would need either one of them to step up to clear their only visible weakness.

Rajasthan Royals:

• RR’s bowling is a huge worry. Tom Curran and the domestic bowlers must complement Jofra Archer big time. Otherwise, it would cost them badly in high scoring Sharjah ground.
• Both their premier batsmen, Sanju Samson and Steve Smith are struggling for form after the first two matches.
• RR doesn’t have a good enough spin attack.

Considering the batting line-ups of both the teams, Sharjah is sure to witness one more cracking 200+ game. Both teams have required firepower in the batting department. With Ben Stokes still in quarantine RR is expected to be unchanged. Despite the consecutive losses in the previous matches, RR had a lot of positives to take away. These include the form of Mahipal Lomror and young Kartik Tyagi. They would be hoping to get timely support from Kartik Tyagi and the Indian spinners to help Jofra Archer in the bowling department.

DC on the other hand is on a roll. Having won 4 of the 5 matches played so far, they are placed comfortably in the points table. They are expected to be unchanged for this game.
