Team News

Rajasthan Royals, defying the trend, has won all of their four matches batting first, with Jos Buttler and Shimron Hetmyer being the architects of their huge totals. Buttler has scored cemturies in two of those wins, at an average of 75.00 and a strike rate of 156.90.

With the ball, Yuzvendra Chahal has been their henchman, taking a wicket every ninth ball. He has been well-supported by R Ashwin, who has only taken two wickets to Chahal’s 17 but has kept the scoring rate under control. With Obed McCoy outshining in the previous game, the Royals now have the option of exclusively using Trent Boult as a new-ball bowler.

Despite being hit by Covid-19, Capitals will be full of confidence after crushing Punjab Kings in their last game, even though they currently sit in the bottom half of the table with three wins in six games. Arguably, Warner and Shaw have proven to be an explosive duo and have been consistently playing impressive knocks for DC in this season of the Tata IPL.

As their batting order tapers, Rishabh Pant played a couple of cameos but what concerns is the form of Rovman Powell. In 5 innings, Powell has managed to score only 31 runs with an average of 6.20 and a strike rate of 100.00. When it comes to bowling, the left arm seamers (Khaleel Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman) and left arm spinners(Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav) have proven their worth and have held sway against opposition.

The match which was originally supposed to be played in Pune was shifted to Wankhede, Mumbai after six members of Capitals’ contingent were found Covid positive.

DC vs RR Pitch Report

Wankhede’s pitch has been always favourable to the batters and it helps then to swiftly score runs. An average of 180 runs can be expected in this pitch as the short boundaries and quick out field are the factors. The teams batting second also have a chance to chase as it is also easy to chase in this pitch. If the opening pairs could give a good start the team can easily manage to cross 200.
