Delhi Capitals (DC) will meet Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati.
RR is standing on 5th in the points table while DC is standing 8th in the points table.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS (RR):
RR lost the last match by 5 runs against Punjab Kings (PBKS). Samson Army played two matches, they won the first one and lost the second one. RR might face one more problem as Jos Butler’s playing possibility is very less due to his finger getting injured in the last match.
In their last match only Ashwin and Holder tried to trouble the opposition with their bowling. Ashwin takes 2 wickets while Holder takes 1 wicket. Boult and Chahal were expensive in their 4 overs. Chahal took 1 wicket but with a huge economy of 12.50.
During their chasing RR lost 3 early wickets in the span of 57 runs. Samson tried to hold the situation and made 42 runs in 25 balls. Simron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel made useful runs in the end and at one moment they almost tried to snatch the win from PBKS but they lost in a nail biting ending. Hetmyer scored 36 runs in 18 balls and Dhruv scored 32 runs in 15 balls.
DELHI CAPITALS (DC):
Warner and company are still in search of a win. DC middle order and top order failed due to which they couldn’t score much. Mitchell Marsh could not participate since he returns back to Australia due to his marriage and might join the team against RCB on 13th April.
One of the main headaches is the flop show of top order. Only Warner manages to get some runs in the opening but he doesn’t get any support from the frontal side. In the last match except Warner and Axar other batsmen could not provide much to the scorecard. In the absence of Pant, Sarfaraz Khan’s blasting innings still awaits.
Anrich Nortje return to the team gives some aid as he takes 2 wickets in their last match but with a whooping economy of 9.75. All the bowlers except Kuldeep were too expensive and provided a lot of runs to PBKS.
HEAD TO HEAD (RR vs DC):
They played 26 matches against each other.
