rr vs dc Match Prediction & Analysis

We have seen some interesting games in the Indian Premier League 2023 with close finishes. The Rajasthan Royals, who failed to get over the finishing line against the Punjab Kings, will be eying their second win of the season in the 11th match. The Delhi Capitals went down against the Gujarat Titans in the last game, and they will need to get their acts together for the first points this season.  

The Delhi Capitals have lost both games. The side hit by injuries before the start of the season hasn't put a challenge in either game. It will be a test of their mental strength in this game. The Royals have a strong batting line-up and a good spin-bowling combination, and they would like to avoid a repeat of the last outing. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Rajasthan Royals Preview

Sanju Samson would be upset with the 5-run loss against the Punjab Kings. Their bowlers failed to execute the plans in the last game, and Samspon experimented with the batting line-up, which hurt them by the end of the game. The Royals skipper would like to use it as a lesson as he approaches the next game. The Delhi Capitals haven't looked in great shape, and Sampson would like to exploit it.  

Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal not opening the batting in the last game defied logic. They are a strong pair and shall look to offer an electrifying start. Sampson is in form, and he would like to add quick runs with Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag in the middle order. Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jason Holder make it a power-packed batting line-up.  

The bowling attack executed had a miserable outing in the last game. Trent Boult must do well with the new ball, along with KM Asif. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal add teeth to this attack and would like to hunt as a pair. Jason Holder brings a lot of experience and needs to use his height and trouble the Delhi batters.

Delhi Capitals Preview

David Warner has been fighting a lone battle for the side. Lack of form in the batting department hurt the side in the last game against the Gujarat Titans, where they lost by 6 wickets. They must avoid a third consecutive loss which can affect their confidence. Waner must lead from the front and inspire confidence in the camp.  

Prithvi Shaw has failed to convert his starts, and he must support David Warner as they look to build a solid platform at the top. The middle order is out of form, and they will need runs from Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, and Sarfaraz Khan. Axar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, and Abhishek Porel must deliver the goods and get the side out of its batting woes.   

The bowling attack hasn't helped the side improve its stakes. They need tighter spells from Mukesh Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed with the new ball. Anrich Nortje adds pace to the attack and needs to do well, along with Mitchell Marsh in the middle overs. Kuldeep Yadav and Patel have an important role to play as their opponents have depth in batting.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Guwahati will see clear skies on April 8. The wicket is flat, and it will be a pleasure to bat on this track, as we saw in the last game. There will be no mercy for the bowlers, who must get their lines right. The side batting first would like 180 runs on the board to feel confident.

Venue Details

Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, is a good ground for the batsmen as the surface allows them to play on the up, and the fast outfield aids them. It isn't the best venue for the spinners as the ball doesn't turn but skids through. Fast bowlers do well as they get the ball to move.

Toss: To Bowl

The pitch was a belter in the last game, and lots of runs shall be on offer. It is an afternoon game, and there will be dew in the second innings under the lights. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first and chase the score when the batting conditions are best.

RR vs DC
Winning Prediction

Delhi Capitals have lost both games, and the middle-order batters have been the culprits. They will need to add runs for the side to challenge the Rajasthan Royals in this game and avoid putting themselves into a spot of bother. Rajasthan Royals have a powerful batting line-up that bats till No. 8. It will make them favorites to win this game.
