RR vs DC T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2023
Match 11 of the 2023 Indian Premier League sees Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals go head to head in Guwahati on Saturday afternoon. Rajasthan Royals have won one and lost one so far with Delhi Capitals losing both of their matches. Read on as we preview this day-night fixture. The game gets underway at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium at 15:30 local time.
Rajasthan Royals will be keen to return to winning ways after their defeat to Punjab Kings on Wednesday. They should have enough with bat and ball to come out on top.
Delhi Capitals look like a far stronger side with Anrich Nortje in their side. However, against Rajasthan Royals, we expect them to be second best.

RR Team News & Playing 11
RR Team News
There was a slight injury scare to Jos Buttler during the match against Punjab Kings which meant he could not open the batting but he showed no ill-effects when he came out to bat at number three. We expect the team management to select the same players in this game.
RR Key Players
- Jos Buttler - The English right-handed opener took two fine catches in the outfield but also sustained a slight finger injury on Wednesday. However, he is expected to be fully fit for this match and remains in excellent form.
- Yuzvendra Chahal - The spinner was expensive against Punjab Kings but still picked up a wicket in the defeat. He has gone wicketless in only one of his last nine IPL appearances.
- Ravichandran Ashwin - The off-spinner was the most economical of all the players on both sides on this pitch on Wednesday and will relish the opportunity to bowl on the same surface in this game.
RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Dhruv Jurel, Akasg Vasisht, Murugan Ashwin, Kuldip Yada
The homegrown Dhruv Jurel impressed as an impact player against Punjab Kings on Wednesday with 32 not out from 15 balls. Ashwin is another strong spinning option for the Royals if required.
RR Team Form
Rajasthan Royals were very impressive in their opening game win over Sunrisers Hyderabad but were not quite good enough with either bat or ball against Punjab Kings.

DC Team News & Playing 11
DC Team News
Although they have lost two games out of two so far, we are not anticipating wholesale changes for Delhi Capitals. There are plenty of runs in their top order and we expect Rovman Powell to come into the team in this match in place of Rilee Rossouw.
DC Key Players
- David Warner - The left-handed opener has made scores of 37 and 56 so far in the IPL 2023 but he will want to improve on his strike-rate of 116.25.
- Axar Patel - The left-arm spinner has seen his batting develop to very high standards over recent years. He has scored over 50 runs and taken a wicket in this campaign already.
- Anrich Nortje - After missing the opening game due to international commitments, Nortje took a wicket with the first ball of his first two overs against Gujarat Titans.
DC Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Khaleel Ahmed, Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw, Chetan Sakariya
Khaleel Ahmed was used as an impact bowler against Gujarat Titans and got the big wicket of Hardik Pandya. Rilee Rossouw would be an obvious addition to the batting line-up if required.

Who will win Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals T20 Match?
Anrich Nortje is certainly a big player for Delhi Capitals but we think that overall there are more match winners with bat and ball for Rajasthan Royals.
🏆 RR vs DC Prediction
This promises to be one of the most entertaining match-ups of the tournament with the in-form pair of Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson taking on Anrich Nortje with the ball in hand. If Nortje is able to dismiss them both cheaply then Delhi Capitals will have an excellent chance. However, we think that Rajasthan Royals have good batting depth in their team and are backing them to win a close contest.
