RR Team News & Playing 11
RR Team News
Ben Stokes will miss one more game before his mandatory isolation period ends. Yashasvi Jaiswal returned last time out but he was unable to make an impact at the top of the order.
RR Key Players
- Jos Buttler: The wicket-keeper-batsman was back to his very best last time out, smashing 70 against Mumbai Indians – a very positive sign moving forward.
- Jofra Archer: More late-order hitting last time out to continue some eye-catching flurries with the bat, while he also took his fifth wicket in five games so far.
- Steve Smith: Hit back-to-back half-centuries in Rajasthan’s two victories but has been unable to deliver since – if he recaptures his form, the Royals might too.
RR Team Form
Since starting with two wins in IPL 2020, against Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan Royals have lost their last three matches in a row. After some excellent batting form in those first two games, they have fallen short since – typified by their collapse to 136 all out, despite Jos Buttler’s 70, in a 57-run defeat to Mumbai Indians.
RR Predicted Playing 11
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler (wk), Steve Smith (c), Sanju Samson, Mahipal Lomror, Tom Curran, Rahul Tewatia, Jaydev Unadkat, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Kartik Tyagi
DC Team News & Playing 11
DC Team News
Ravichandran Ashwin is back in the Delhi Capitals’ side. The Capitals could be unchanged although Harshal Patel was expensive with the ball last time out.
DC Key Players
- Shikhar Dhawan: Slowly starting to tick after scoring 127 runs in his last four innings. He is making starts at the top of the order but he needs to convert them to big scores now.
- Kagiso Rabada: The South African paceman took 4-24 last time out to move to 12 wickets in five matches so far this season.
- Marcus Stoinis: The Australian all-rounder, who was in such fine form in the Big Bash League, hit his second half-century of this season’s IPL last time out.
DC Team Form
Delhi needed a Super Over to win their opening game, against Kings XI Punjab, but have won three from four in more convincing fashion since. Sunrisers Hyderabad are the only team to have beaten them so far. Since then, they have hit 228/4 in an 18-run win against Kolkata – Shreyas Iyer scoring 88* from just 38 balls – and then 196/4 in a 59-run win against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
DC Predicted Playing 11
Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Ishant Sharma
RR vs DC Head to Head
Rajasthan won seven matches in a row in this fixture but Delhi have since claimed three victories in the last three games. Last season, they chased 192 to win the first meeting by six wickets and then stormed to a five-wicket win after restricting Rajasthan to just 115/9. Ajinkya Rahane hammered 105* in a losing cause in the first game, as Rishabh Pant’s 78* from 36 balls helped Delhi to victory with four balls to spare. Pant then hit 53* from 38 balls in the second game too. Ishant Sharma had earlier taken 3-38 and Amit Mishra 3-17 in Delhi’s dominant bowling performance.
