RR vs DC 11th Match Prediction

Betting Tips

Rajasthan Royals 1st 6 overs score - Over 57.5 (2.50)

The top order for the Rajasthan Royals, consisting of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, and Devdutt Padikkal is in excellent form and all these batsmen are capable of scoring runs at a quick rate. The pitch in Guwahati is excellent to bat on and against the mediocre bowling attack of the Capitals, we are likely to see a big score in the Powerplay.

Rajasthan Royals To Win the Match, 1.82

This is another strong tournament-wide strategy. We know there is a huge bias in IPL for the team batting second to score more in the first six overs. Royals are also more dangerous with the bat with David Warner on a mission seemingly to score as slowly as possible. Royals currently average 71 in the powerplay and Delhi 49. The study sample of two games is not big enough of course but it does suggest these sides have different levels of aggression going forward.

RR vs DC Team Previews

Rajasthan Royals

After making a winning start to their latest IPL campaign, the Rajasthan Royals faltered in their latest fixture as they were defeated by the Punjab Kings in a close encounter.

Despite having a strong and well-balanced bowling attack, it proved to be the Achilles heel for the Royals in their last match as the bowlers were hit all around the park by Punjab’s opening pair of Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran Singh.

With the spinners seen struggling, there will be added pressure on the likes of Trent Boult, Jason Holder, and KM Asif to pick up early wickets. Holder was impressive with his death bowling and was the leading wicket-taker for the team and he will hope to put up a similar performance here.

The Rajasthan Royals sent Ravichandran Ashwin to open the innings in a bid to give them a quick start but the strategy backfired as he was back in the dugout without disturbing the scorers. Going ahead, they are likely to stay with their tried and tested opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Buttler.

The team has a strong middle order consisting of Sanju Samson, Devdutt Padikkal, Riyan Parag, and Shimron Hetmeyer, which should give them a good amount of confidence. Dhruv Jurel, who made his IPL debut as an impact player played an excellent cameo to get the team close to the finish line and it's just a matter of time before we see him in the starting eleven.

Delhi Capitals

The Delhi Capitals have lost both their opening games and will be desperate to register a win here and avoid falling to the bottom of the table.

David Warner seems to be in good form and has made scores of 56 and 37, but his opening partner, Prithvi Shaw, hasn’t been able to get going so far. The middle order too hasn’t fired yet. Sarfaraz Khan, who had an excellent time in the domestic circuit before this season hasn’t been able to carry on with that form, while international stars Mitchell Marsh and Rilee Rossouw haven’t been able to justify their price tags.

The team hasn’t found a stable alternative for Rishabh Pant behind the stumps, although Abhishek Porel did a decent job in the last game and will likely get an extension. Axar Patel has lived up to his all-round credentials and while not being the most effective with the ball, has struck some lusty blows with the bat. Kuldeep Yadav has struggled to pick up wickets too.

However, Anrich Nortje did bowl an impressive spell in his debut game last time around and will play an important role here along with Khaleel Ahmed.

RR vs DC Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first here. 

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Barsapara Stadium is excellent to bat on thanks to the good and consistent bounce on offer. There has been some rain here and the moisture on the pitch will make it difficult for the spinners to get turn. However, there is some amount of grass which makes it possible for the quicker bowlers to get movement.

But they will need to be very disciplined. The team batting first will be looking at a score of close to 200 to give the bowlers some headroom.

The skies are expected to remain overcast with temperatures between 25-30 degrees Celsius.

RR vs DC Betting Tips

While Rajasthan lost their last match, we expect them to come back strongly in this game. They have quality players in the side and most of the top and middle-order batsmen are in good form. On the other hand, except for David Warner, none of the batsmen from the Delhi camp have been consistent and the pace attack seems a bit weak when compared to the Royals.

Bet on the Rajasthan Royals to win.
