RR V/S DC (Match 7) Pre-Match Analysis (Today’s Match Prediction ) VIVO IPL 2021: Captain, Vice-captain, Fantasy gaming Tips, Probable Playing XIs for Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals T20 Match at the Wankhede Stadium 7:30 PM IST Friday, April 14th , 2021 

Head-to-Head

Another nail-biter, another fantastic night of cricket! Now we move on to match number 7. It’s the Rajasthan Royals against the Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede in the heart of Mumbai! Both teams have produced some amazing performances in their previous match and are looking ready to go hard against each other. In their last outing Rajasthan Royals did all they could to stand against Punjab’s mighty score, their captain probably produced the knock of the tournament but even after so many efforts from the whole team they lost by a truly little margin against a side that looked well prepared. 

On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals produced a no brainer against one of the strongest sides in IPL – the Super kings. They did not a take step back at any point of the match and looked like they knew what they were doing. Moreover, the way Rishabh Pant took charge of a young team against someone like Dhoni, it was commendable.

Pitch Conditions 

Wankhede has been a delight for the batsmen! We have seen teams making scores above 200 on this pitch and we have seen it getting chased. This is a good pitch for batting and will support the batsmen in both innings. The ball is coming on to the bat and if our assumptions are right, this is going to be another high scoring match. 

Batting: 

RR: 

Rajasthan royals look like a really formidable side when it comes to their batting. Their batting goes really deep till the tail end which is a strong point coming into a game like this when all other teams are scoring good runs and still those high scores are getting chased comfortably. They will be spoilt for choice with Jos Butler, David Miller, Liam Livingstone, Ben stokes and Chris Morris.  If they choose their combinations right, they can notch up 200 hundred runs on the board easily and give their opponent a run for their money.

DC

The best part about the Delhi Capitals is that there batting line-up looks strong on paper after the first match against CSK. They have some strong Indian batsmen in their arsenal with the likes of  Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw and Ajinkya Rahane. Ajinkya has not found a place in the playing XI but may soon find a spot given his skills. Hetmyer has not looked his usual self so, he may lose out on his spot to Steve Smith. Shikhar is looking good after the last match so that’s good news. They also have a handy all-rounder in the form of Marcus Stoinis who has done phenomenally well for them in the past, so the middle-order looks sorted. Last but not the least, their new captain Rishabh Pant is in a good form and will leave no stone unturned. 

Bowling: 

RR: 

They have a plethora of good options with Jofra Archer leading their attack and Jaydev Unadkat following up. Along with that they have Mustafizur Rehman and Andrew Tye who can take they game away on a good day, while Kuldeep Yadav, Mayank Markande, KC Cariappa provide them with plenty of options to choose from the spin department. The Wankhede is going to be a batting friendly pitch, they will have to make sure they play their cards right and utilize their spin resources as much as they can.

DC: 

When it comes to bowling Delhi capitals has their script ready! They have got some exceptional talent in every department. Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje have done really well to keep the team afoot along with Marcus Stoinis. Ishant Sharma will been refreshing to watch this season as well youngster Avesh Khan. It will be great if Ravichandran Ashwin can join the party soon. Also, it will be interesting to see which combination they bring out in this contest to strengthen the line-up. Also, don’t forget Amit Mishra, who is another experienced customer of the game. 

Match Prediction: 

RR will be desperately trying to grab 2 points in the tournament, with a bad match behind their back. In the last match, they were a shadow of the team they actually are. The problem with them last match was their consistency.  If they really want to win this, they will have to come all guns blazing and if they do, they have got a match in their hands. 

Delhi, on the other hand, will be coming into the match hoping Sanju samson spares them and therefore they will try to dominate the match from ball 1. Their batting order is strong, but the middle order will have to fire tonight, and the bowling will have to support equally. Their bowling is their key to this match, if they keep RR down to 150 or so, they will be happy with that sort of target on the board.
