Jaipur, April 22, Monday at 08:00 PM IST
It’s matchday for Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals in Pink City Jaipur. The 40th fixture of Vivo IPL 2019 will be played at Sawai Man Singh Stadium, Jaipur between the hosts Rajasthan Royals and third-placed Delhi Capitals. The clash will begin at 08:00 PM IST tonight.
Royals registered their third win of the season under new skipper – Steve Smith in the last match against Mumbai Indians by 5 wickets and would be looking to fancy their chances against Delhi Capitals. With three wins and six defeats in nine encounters, Rajasthan Royals are placed seventh in the table and are still alive in the contest. However, they will have to secure a win in each of the remaining encounters.
Delhi Capitals, on the opposite, are comfortably sitting at third position with six wins and four defeats in ten encounters. They registered 5 wickets win over Kings XI Punjab in the last encounter at Feroz Shah Kotla and would be aiming for a couple of more wins in the remaining four encounters to finish off in top four positions.

This RR vs DC Dream11 prediction is high-risk but you may reap rewards if some assumptions come off. We advise you not to use these teams in small league contests.
Team 1 & 2: Pick the less chosen
In Sanju Samson and R Pant, people have chosen Sanju Samson over R Pant for the wicketkeeper. More 82% of fantasy teams have S Samson as their wicketkeeper.
Steve Smith, Shreyas Iyer and Shikhar Dhawan are the most picked batsmen
Ben Stokes and Axar Patel are the favourites in all-rounder
K Rabada and J Archer are in almost each fantasy team.
Team 3 and 4: Unorthodox combinations
Team 5 & 6: Spinners having a day at Sawai Man Singh
The Sawai Man Singh wicket in Jaipur offers some bounce to pacers early and assists spinners a lot later on. Shreyas Gopal, S Lamichhane, Axar Patel and Amit Mishra can turn out to be the game changer at this venue.
THIS RR VS DC DREAM11 PREDICTION IS HIGH-RISK BUT YOU MAY REAP REWARDS IF SOME ASSUMPTIONS COME OFF. WE ADVISE YOU NOT TO USE THESE TEAMS IN SMALL LEAGUE CONTESTS.
