DC vs RR Dream11 Prediction: Delhi Capitals will look to come back to their winning ways again after a loss to Mumbai Indians in their last match. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals pulled off another heist against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the same venue on Sunday. This promises to be an interesting match-up between teams with a significant gap in their standings. We will preview DC vs RR Dream11 contest.

Delhi Capitals received a blow before the start of the last match when Rishabh Pant was ruled out due to an injury. They had to change their combination because of that with Alex Carey coming in as the wicket-keeper. Batting first against Mumbai Indians, Shikhar Dhawan batted through the innings to guide them to a total of 162 runs. He made 69 but played a touch slower according to many experts. Shreyas Iyer also contributed with an innings of 42 runs. In reply, bowlers failed to pick up regular breakthroughs and MI chased down the total with a relative ease. Kagiso Rabada picked up a couple while Axar Patel and Ravichandran Ashwin took a wicket each for the capitals.

Rajasthan Royals were in desperate need of the two points in their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the same venue. Bowling first, RR bowlers bowled with discipline on a slow surface but failed to pick up wickets regularly. As a result, SRH were still able to push the score to 158 thanks to some late fireworks. In reply, RR’s three international imports Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler and Steve Smith were dismissed on the score of just 26 runs. If RR had to come back from that, they needed a miracle. They got one from the pair of Riyan Parag and Rahul Tewatia as both added 85 runs to take RR home in an unbelievable finish. Both made individual scores of 42 & 45 respectively.

In head-to-head comparisons, there is nothing much to choose between these two sides as records are almost equal. Rajasthan Royals have won 11 games while Delhi capitals have gone on to register 10 wins in 21 matches played between these two sides. Delhi capitals have been dominant in recent years with winning 4 out of last 5 matches. In the first meeting this year, DC comfortably beat RR at Sharjah last week.   

Pitch and Conditions

We are into the second half and pitches are getting tired to say the least. We will see a sudden drop in the average scores from now on as most of the surfaces are dry underneath. Furthermore, this match will be played on a used pitch from yesterday’s game between CSK & SRH. We saw plenty of turn for the spinners in the second innings and same conditions are expected today. Team batting first would be having a definite advantage today.

• Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan will be their openers while latter needs to up his strike-rate if he plays with Ajinkya Rahane.

Rajasthan Royals Team News

• Rajasthan Royals are likely to go in with the same playing XI from their last match.
• Ben Stokes opened in the last match along with Jos Buttler and the same move is likely to continue today as well. Steve Smith will bat at number three position and he needs some runs very quickly against his name.
• Sanju Samson has failed after a very good start to the season with a couple of brilliant knocks. Robin Uthappa is yet to make a contribution this year and time is running out for him. Riyan Parag and Rahul Tewatia should be high on confidence after their heroics in the last match.
• Jofra Archer has led the attack with some fiery spells so far. Kartik Tyagi has bowled well in couple of opportunities he got while tired pitches should suit more to Jaydev Unadkat’s style of bowling. Shreyas Gopal has struggled for wickets this year in the first half.

Captain Picks

For Small Leagues

• Shreyas Iyer can be a good option from Delhi Capitals today. He is consistent enough to guarantee runs on most days. His experience of playing on these kinds of pitches in domestic circuit will come in handy going forward in the season.
• Kagiso Rabada has picked up at least one wicket in last 20 IPL matches he played. That is the measure of his consistency in this format. He is comfortably leading the pack with 17 wickets this year. Inexperience in the RR middle order augurs well for him in his second spell today.
• Jos Buttler is a kind of player that can be backed irrespective of his form. He has been dismissed cheaply apart from that one innings against Mumbai Indians while chasing. But if it’s Jos Buttler, there are high chances that he will come good sooner rather than later.

For Grand Leagues

• Marcus Stoinis is a perfect choice for the grand leagues today. He has batted brilliantly in the opportunities he got so far. He has turned the matches with his power-hitting abilities on a couple of occasions. Higher boundary percentage in his innings should also help your tally along with his credentials with the ball.
• Rahul Tewatia is a genuine contender now in the grand leagues. He is making contributions regularly with the bat and has also chipped in with some wickets at crucial junctures. Clearly, he is a ‘value for money’ choice and can be a differential pick for the captaincy position.
• Jofra Archer is RR’s highest wicket-taker this year with 9 scalps from 7 matches so far. His extra pace can rattle DC openers Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan in the initial overs. Also, he has been among the wickets during the death overs as well.
