Who will win today match
The Rajasthan Royals will depend a lot on the trio of skipper Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler and David Miller to come good in the batting department as they are the senior players in the line-up. The likes of Chris Morris, Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya will be their main bowlers on the flat Wankhede wicket. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals will bank upon their in-form players like Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw and Marcus Stoinis with the bat while Rabada, Woakes, Avesh and Ashwin will be their key bowlers. It is expected to be yet another high-scoring game with some pretty good batting conditions. In our Dream 11 Today Match Prediction we back Delhi Capitals to win this match.
