DC vs RR Team Previews

Dubai Capitals

The explosive Sediqullah Atal got things under way with some early momentum in the powerplay from his 25 runs off 15 balls against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. Wicketkeeper-batter Niroshan Dickwella’s sharp strokeplay with 26 runs off 18 balls continued to kickstart the innings in the same match.

Captain Gulbadin Naib has been most successful in the ILT20. The Afghan all-rounder has 381 runs and 11 wickets in the league. Global T20 superstar Shakib Al Hasan’s experience has shown this GSL with 69 runs and four wickets.

UAE all-rounder Rohan Mustafa is as proficient with slamming the ball to all parts with the bat as he is clever with the spinning ball. Mustafa has over 400 ILT20 runs and seven ILT20 wickets. Sanjay Krishnamurthi’s youthful exuberance was on show in Major League Cricket recently. The youngster smashed 92 runs against the Los Angeles Knight Riders.

Kadeem Alleyne is one of the West Indian players next in line for his country. Alleyne grabbed back-to-back two-wicket hauls against South Africa A recently. Kaleem Sana rounds out the bowling contingent with his left-arm swing and seam movement. The left-arm pacer was electric with four wickets in his previous outing.

The crafty leg-spin of Qais Ahmad and variation skills of left-arm pacer Dominic Drakes brought them each a wicket in their previous game.

Rangpur Riders

Ibrahim Zadran is a steady and technically sound opening batter. The young Afghan hit 43 runs against the Hurricanes. Soumya Sarkar’s intentions should be very clear when he gets a move on in the powerplay. Zadran’s opening partner has 1641 runs with seven half-centuries in the BPL. Yasir Ali will lessen the pressure on the Rangpur batting lineup.

The Bangladeshi batter hit a score of 63 runs for Bangladesh A in May. Nurul Hasan should inject urgency into the middle to death overs of the innings. The wicketkeeper-batter hit over 180 runs in the most recent BPL season.

West Indian all-rounder Kyle Mayers was the star of the day against Hobart with 67 runs unbeaten and a wicket. Experienced international all-rounders Azmatullah Omarzai and Iftikhar Ahmed bring indispensable depth with bat and ball.

Both would be highly rated after contributing three wickets between them in the previous match. Mahidul Islam Ankon will be ready when required. The 26-year-old hit a century and a half-century while playing in New Zealand A’s tour of Bangladesh.

Left-arm wrist-spinner Tabraiz Shamsi brings mountains of T20 experience with nearly 300 T20 games. The South African spinner has provided 330 T20 wickets. Pace duties are handled by Khaled Ahmed. The Bangladeshi pace bowler unsettled the Hobart batters when he raced to four for 26 in four overs. Rakibul Hasan, with one wicket, gave him ample support.

Rangpur Riders Expected Playing 11

Ibrahim Zadran, Soumya Sarkar, Kyle Mayers, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (c/wk), Azmatullah Omarzai, Iftikhar Ahmed, Mahidul Islam Ankon, Rakibul Hasan, Tabraiz Shamsi, Khaled Ahmed

DC vs RR Toss Prediction

The Capitals lost their previous match after batting second. On the other hand, the Riders won their match batting first. Both captains will be content with first use of the wicket with the bat.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch at Providence Stadium is a spin friendly gem. The damp weather earlier on is likely to offer early seam movement to pacers. As the match moves on and the sun comes out, it should gradually slow and start gripping up beautifully for the spinners.

The batters will need to show patience and sharp timing to get going on a surface which may only require a score in the region of 150 to 160 runs to be defendable. The Rangpur Riders needed 151 for six in their innings to defeat the Hobart Hurricanes.

At the start time of this match, there will be a 47 percent chance of rain. Be prepared for some warm weather with scorching levels of humidity to follow. There will be a gentle breeze though.

DC vs RR: Who Will Win?

The Rangpur Riders have been making all the right noises this tournament after back-to-back wins against some stiff opposition. Their win against the Hurricanes was a tight one. The Dubai Capitals have been on a rollercoaster. The Capitals are less likely to challenge the Riders.

Bet on the Rangpur Riders to win this match.

DC vs RR win percentage stands at 56% in favor of RR.
