DC Vs RR: IPL 2024 Today Match Prediction

MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS

The Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals will square off in a crucial game that will essentially determine whether or not they will still be vying for a postseason place. With just three games remaining, they are in danger of losing, therefore they must move quickly to put together a few victories in order to go to the round of 16.

They will have the ideal springboard if they defeat the season’s top club and clear favourites, the Rajasthan Royals, at home. After losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad in a nail-biting thriller at Hyderabad, the Royals will be motivated to resume their winning ways.

The middle order batsmen for Rajasthan Royals lost direction early on, but they steadied the ship and continued the chase. They played the game to the fullest and did a fantastic job of keeping up with the increasing run pace.But just before the finish line, they stumbled just as it appeared they were going to win the game.

With three victories and two loses in their last five meetings, RR has the slight advantage. The Royals lead the Delhi Capitals 15–13 in the overall head-to-head match.

Teams Preview –

Delhi Capitals :

Delhi Caps’ season got off to a bad start as they only won one in five games.

However, the dynamic of the batting group changed when young guns Jake Fraser McGurk (259 runs from 6 games at a scorching strike rate of 233) established himself in the XI and middle order batsmen Rishabh Pant (398 runs from 11 games at SR 159) and Tristan Stubbs (277 runs from 11 games at SR 185) found consistency and form with the bat.

With increased firepower and depth in the batting lineup, the batters performed with greater assurance and improved their competitiveness, enabling them to win four of the following six games.

Still left to do is get them into the playoffs, though. It was a frustrating setback for them last week at home against KKR. With only 93 runs scored in the eleventh over, they lost half their side and, owing to a solid rear-guard action by the bowlers, ended up at 153.Their opening bowlers struggled defensively and let the KKR openers move rapidly out of their blocks.

The KKR batters cruised home with more than twenty balls remaining after the spinners failed to seize control of the middle over. In terms of bowling, the spin twins Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav have shown flashes of brilliance, but Delhi’s quicks have generally performed poorly.

Though they aren’t able to make breakthroughs on demand, the left arm spin combo has often maintained things tight. This season, Delhi’s speed bowling team has suffered greatly from their incapacity to maintain control and bowl in accordance with plans.

Delhi Capitals Playing XI:

Jake Fraser-McGurk, Kumar Kushagra, Shai Hope, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Lizaad Williams, Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed. Impact Sub: Lizaad Williams

Rajasthan Royals :

This season, the Rajasthan Royals are the team to beat. The Royals have been outstanding as a team this season, and their record of only two defeats in 10 games is outstanding. With over 300 runs apiece, Jaiswal, Buttler, Samson, and Parag have been their batting force at the top of the order.

With his regular performances against champion sides, Parag has removed any reservations about his coming-of-age, having amassed over 400 runs at a strike rate of 160 in 10 games. The bowlers for the Royals have been outstanding, particularly Trent Boult at the top, Yuzi Chahal in the middle, Sandeep Sharma at the end, and Avesh Khan at the end.

By his own standards, Ashwin’s season has been shocking as he has only taken 2 wickets from the approximately 35 overs he has bowled in 9 games. This season, the Royals have been particularly notable for someone raising their hand, stepping in, and either saving their club from a disaster or leaving them in a far stronger position than when they left. It also holds true for the bowling and batting teams.

For instance, although Shimron Hetmyer’s heroics at the end of the game helped the West Indian team win, and Rovman Powell came dangerously close to pulling off an incredible victory against SRH the other day.

Rajasthan Royals Playing XI:

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Rovman Powell, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sandeep Sharma. Impact Sub: Jos Buttler

Pitch & Weather Conditions:

Weather :

Six innings, three games, and five 200+ scoring performances. One score in the 240s, two in the 220s, one above 260, and one above 250. That puts the season’s favourable batting conditions at the Delhi strip into perspective. For this evening competition, the weather is predicted to be clear, so there shouldn’t be any interruptions.

Pitch Report:

The Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi will host the game. The hosts have defeated the visitors five times in the eight meetings between the two teams that have taken place here across numerous seasons. They will undoubtedly want to maintain that lead.

Toss: To Bat

If the circumstances and pitch were conducive to batting, the Delhi Capitals would be thrilled to bat first. The Royals would view this similarly, although considering how close they were to winning the game against SRH away from home, they wouldn’t mind pursuing either.
