DC Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team is in good physical condition with all their players match fit and they might go into this game with an unchanged lineup.
Key Players
With one hundred and a couple of fifties this IPL, Sanju Samson has the best batting average in the side and he will be a key figure for the Delhi Daredevils. Another batsman to watch out for is Shreyas Iyer who smashed his second fifty of the season in the last game against Gujarat Lions, scoring a brisk 57-ball 96 to power his team to victory. Pat Cummins has now taken 12 wickets which is the most by a Delhi Daredevil bowler. The Australian paceman will be his team’s biggest hope with the ball.
Recent Form
Delhi Daredevils have moved up to the sixth position on the IPL 2017 league table after pipping Gujarat Lions in the last game. They now have five wins from 12 matches and three of these wins have come in their previous four matches. So the Daredevils have finally woken up but it's all too late for a playoffs spot.

RPS Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no injury concerns for the Rising Pune Supergiant ahead of their clash with the Delhi Daredevils. The team is on the winning track and so the selectors are unlikely to make changes in the side.
Key Players
With Ajinkya Rahane struggling to get the big runs, Pune's top-order batting will revolve mainly around Steven Smith and Rahul Tripathi who have been among the runs. Ben Stokes with his allround abilities is another player to watch out for while Imran Tahir and Jaydev Unadkat will be the key bowlers for RPS. Both are among the season's leading wicket-takers and are more likely to trouble the Delhi Daredevils.
Recent Form
Rising Pune Supergiant are currently third on the leaderboard with eight wins and four losses from 12 matches. They have risen after making a dismal start to their IPL 2017 campaign and now stand a good chance of finishing in the top two at the end of the league stage.

SPD Smith (c), AM Rahane, RA Tripathi, BA Stokes, MS Dhoni (wk), DT Christian, MK Tiwary, Washington Sundar, SN Thakur, JD Unadkat, Imran Tahir

DD vs RPS Head to Head
Rising Pune Supergiant have beaten the Delhi Daredevils two times out of three in the Indian Premier League. While the first two matches (including one at the Feroz Shah Kotla) were won by RPS in the previous season, the third and the most recently played match earlier in the ongoing season was won by the Daredevils.
DD vs RPS Betting Odds
Rising Pune Supergiant are in tremendous form at the moment with most of their key players clicking at crucial times. They have won seven of their previous eight matches and are on a four-match winning streak. So it doesn't come as a surprise seeing them as favorites to win this game at such low odds of 1.84 with betfair and 1.80 with bet365. Delhi Daredevils may have done well in their recent games but they have not been consistent enough in this season of IPL and are therefore outsiders at 2.16 with Betfair and 2 with Bet365.
DD vs RPS Prediction
Rising Pune Supergiant will have the momentum on their side having won their previous four games in a row and they will be seeing this game as a good opportunity to cement their place in the playoffs. Plus, having won their last five away games will surely add to their confidence. Delhi Daredevils might regain some of their lost confidence after winning three of their last four matches but without the likes of Morris, Rabada and Mathews, they still appear weaker as compared to RPS. The latter have a much better balance in the team and have more number of match winners in their lineup. We therefore predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Rising Pune Supergiant to beat Delhi Daredevils in the 52nd match of IPL 2017 at 1.84 with betfair and 1.80 with bet365.
