DC vs RR Match Predictions: The Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals squads will arrive hoping to defeat the previous game and make a strong comeback. Despite Rajasthan’s inconsistent play thus far, this was Delhi’s first loss of the season. The Delhi team, captained by Akshar Patel, lost to the Mumbai Indians on Sunday at Arun Jaitley Stadium after winning four straight games.
Delhi dropped from the top spot to the second spot with this loss. The goal for the Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals teams is to bounce back and forget the loss from the previous game. This was Delhi’s first loss of the season, despite Rajasthan’s inconsistent play thus far. At Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday, the Mumbai Indians upset the Delhi squad, captained by Akshar Patel, after they had won four straight games. Delhi dropped from the top spot to the second spot with this loss.
The cost of the bowlers against RCB was high
The Rajasthan Royals lost the match against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Jaipur. Rajasthan batted poorly in this game, as no batter other than Yashasvi Jaiswal was able to put up a strong showing. While the bowlers’ performance was unimpressive, the RCB batsmen, particularly Phil Salt, scored a lot of runs against Joffra Archer and other bowlers.
Karun was an impact player who excelled
In his debut, Delhi’s Karun Nair hit 89 runs in 40 balls against the Mumbai Indians. Once, Delhi scored 119 runs for one wicket in the 11th over thanks to his quick innings, but the team lost the final nine wickets in 74 runs. He entered the game as an impact player. The final three balls of the 19th over saw its three batters run out, resulting in a 12-run loss. Following his outstanding innings, it would be intriguing to see if Delhi will include Karun Nair in the starting lineup or if he will only be utilized as an impact player.
Spinners are going to be crucial
Once more, Delhi’s success may depend on their spinners. Both 20-year-old Vipraaj Nigam and Kuldeep Yadav gave outstanding performances despite the loss in the previous game. But despite bowling 14 overs in six games, Akshar has not been able to make an impression and has yet to claim a wicket. He has scored more than ten runs per over aside from this.
