Delhi Capitals are coming into this game on the back of an impressive 8-wicket win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada played their first game together this season. Both combined to pick 5 wickets, while Axar Patel picked two crucial wickets as well. Because of regular strikes, Sunrisers Hyderabad couldn’t build partnerships and post a competitive score on the board. Kane Williamson and Co. were restricted to 134 runs at the end of the first innings.
Delhi Capitals chased down the total quite comfortably. Runs came from the bat of all of their top-four batsmen. Shikhar Dhawan played a matured 42-run knock off 37 balls and set the tone for the run-chase.Shreyas Iyer (47 off 41) and Rishabh Pant (35 off 21) remained unbeaten till the end and guided the team home.
Facing them are RR, who registered an astonishing 2-run win over Punjab Kings in their last game. Rajasthan Royals’ batting has looked far more settled with the addition of Evin Lewis and Liam Livingstone in the squad.
