Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals, IPL 2022, Today Match Prediction

rr vs dc Match Prediction & Analysis

Delhi Capitals face a massive challenge in the 60th game of the Indian Premier League 2022. They come here with a big defeat against the Chennai Super Kings and must win this game to keep their hopes for a playoff berth alive. The Rajasthan Royals on the other hand did well to win the last game against the Punjab Kings. 

Delhi Capitals have been inconsistent, and their bowling attack has been a major concern for the side. Their new ball attack has looked ineffective, and the side can least afford so against the strong batting line-up that the Rajasthan Royals have. Playing under pressure the Delhi Capitals would have to rise to the occasion in their most important game of the season. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Rajasthan Royals Preview

Sanju Samson’s side registered a comprehensive 6-wicket win against the Punjab Kings in the last game. With this win, the side has strengthened its position on the points table. They chased down a huge score clinically in the end. Sampson would like his bowlers to get their lines right against a very strong batting line-up. A win here would assure them of a berth in the next round and Sampson would like to secure that here. 

Jos Buttler has been in terrific form, and he would look to set up a good opening wicket partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal in this game. Samson steadies the middle order and he would be aiming for partnerships with Devdutt Padikkal and Shimron Hetmyer in this game. They don’t have great firepower down the order and the team would need Riyan Parag and Ravichandran Ashwin to deliver to the best of their abilities.  

It is high time the side needs good spells with the new ball from Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna who aren’t in the best of form. Yuzvendra Chahal has been the best bowler for the side and the side would like him to stop the flow of runs in the middle overs with Kuldeep Sen and Ashwin as the Delhi Capitals do have a very strong batting line-up.

Delhi Capitals Preview

Rishabh Pant’s side finds itself in a spot of bother after their 91 run loss against the Chennai Super Kings in the last game. They must win this game to keep their hopes alive for a berth in the next round. Their bowling attack has struggled in most of the games the side has played, and Pant would like them to rise to the challenge and restore confidence with a win in this game. 

Prithvi Shaw’s absence is a major problem for the team and the opening pair of David Warner and Srikar Bharat need to set up a strong platform at the top. Pant, Mitchell Marsh, and Rovman Powell are big names, but they have been inconsistent adding to the side’s problems. Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, and Ripal Patel will need to do the big-hitting down the order for the side to win. 

Shardul Thakur has had a poor season and the side would need him to deliver the goods opening the bowling with Khaleel Ahmed. Anrich Nortje must make good use of his pace in this game and keep the Royals’ batsmen under check. Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Marsh have experienced players in this form and the side would have huge expectations from them

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect to see a warm and humid evening in Mumbai on May 11. The wicket has been flat and it has produced lots of runs this season. Bowlers have little margin of error and have to bowl in the right areas. A score near the 200-run mark would be on the mind of the side batting first.

Venue Details

Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy has seen several high-scoring games. The batting conditions are excellent at this venue where batsmen can hit through the line. The fast bowlers have always struggled here with little on this surface for them. It has been a good venue for the spinners who pitch the ball up and let it turn.

Toss: To Bowl

This venue has seen several big run chases already and sides have found it tough to set up a winning score here. The batting conditions have been best in the second half of the game as the track eases out. Hence, the side winning the toss in this game would have little hesitation in opting to bowl first in the game.

RR vs DC
Winning Prediction

Delhi Capitals have to get their act straight. The side comes here with the baggage of inconsistency. Their bowling attack has looked in poor form and this is a major problem for the side. They would also need runs from their openers to improve their odds of winning. Rajasthan Royals have momentum on their side and a very strong batting line-up. This would make them favorites here.
