Delhi Capitals
Rajasthan Royals
KL Rahul to score Over 30.5 runs
Rahul is the leading run-scorer for DC this year. He has an average of 66.66 and has scored at least 31 runs in two of his last 3 innings, both of which were half-centuries. He averages over 50 against RR and has scored at least 31 runs in 10 of his last 13 innings against them, including 7 half-centuries. We are therefore backing him to play a good knock.
Kuldeep Yadav to pick Over 1.5 wickets
Kuldeep Yadav has taken 10 wickets in 5 games and has picked up at least two in 4 of them. He has also taken at least 2 wickets in 4 of his last 6 outings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. As the pitch here does help the spinners, Kuldeep is likely to continue bowling well.
The Rajasthan Royals will look to get back to winning ways as they take on the Delhi Capitals for a mid-week clash in the ongoing Indian Premier League. The two teams will face off at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

This match can be watched live on the JioHotstar App and Star Sports Network.
The Delhi Capitals’ incredible winning run was halted on Sunday as they faced their first defeat of the season against the Mumbai Indians. Nevertheless, the team remains in second place on the points table.
Delhi boasts a strong batting lineup that has a perfect balance of young and experienced batsmen.
Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel will look to give the team a strong start here. While Fraser-McGurk is known for his explosive brand of batting, he hasn’t been able to get going so far this year. Karun Nair makes a comeback to the IPL after almost 3 years. He scored an excellent half-century and will be the perfect partner for KL Rahul in the middle order.
The latter is the leading run-scorer for DC this year. The Capitals have a strong spin attack led by Kuldeep Yadav who has picked up 10 wickets so far. He will be supported by Vipraj Nigam. In the seam department, while Mitchell Starc has bowled well to pick up 9 wickets, he has received little support from Mohit Sharma and Mukesh Kumar.

The Rajasthan Royals haven’t the in the best of forms this year and have managed to win only two of the 6 matches played by them. As a result, the team is currently placed 7th on the points table.
The Royals’ latest loss came on Sunday against RCB, who defeated them by 9 wickets. RR will need the opening pair of Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal to give them a strong start here. While the duo has played some good knocks, they haven’t been consistent enough.
The same goes for the middle order. Shimron Hetmeyer, Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, and Dhruv Jurel are all quality batsmen but are yet to make much of an impact this season. The bowlers, particularly the spinners, could make a big impact here.
RR has two excellent slower bowlers Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana. The duo has picked up 6 wickets each. The pace department is made up of Tushar Deshpande, Jofra Archer, and Sandeep Sharma. The trio has been quite expensive this season.

9 of the last 10 matches played here were won while batting first. In 7 of the last 10 matches played in Delhi, the captain winning the toss has opted to field first. However, we reckon that batting first might be a better idea.
The pitch in Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is likely to be good to bat on. The average first-inning score here is around 170. However, the previous season saw plenty of 200+ scores and the team batting first will look to cross that threshold as well. The surface is on the dry side and the seamers are likely to struggle. They will need to vary their pace. The spinners can expect some turn once the ball gets older. The weather is likely to be warm with temperatures over 31 degrees.
We are backing Delhi Capitals to win this one. They have been among the most consistent teams this season and have done well with the bat and the ball. Rajasthan on the other hand are struggling to find a rhythm and are likely to struggle.
DC vs RR win percentage stands at 55% in favor of DC.
