IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 09 | Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals – Will DC get their first win in the tournament by defeating RR? | March 28

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Match Analysis

The Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) will face off in the Indian Premier League’s ninth encounter on Thursday night. In the tournament’s opening match, the Royals defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by 20 runs, while the Punjab Kings defeated the Delhi Capitals by 4 wickets. On March 28, the match gets underway at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur at 19:30 local time.

The Rajasthan Royals have won three of their last four IPL matches, and when you consider the latter part of the previous season, Jaipur is undoubtedly gaining confidence and momentum. Facing Delhi’s potent batting lineup will make this a difficult encounter.

Even though Delhi Capitals defeated the Punjab Kings at the end of the 2023 Indian Premier League, they did appear much more competitive. Everyone was happy to see Rishabh Pant back, and they would go to Jaipur prepared to assault.

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Team Preview & Squads

Rajasthan Royals

After winning their first match, Sanju Samson wanted to keep the Rajasthan Royals team moving forward. We anticipate seeing the same starting lineup against the Delhi Capitals because there were no injuries mentioned during the post-match interviews.

In the first game Sanju Samson, the captain, hit six sixes and three fours throughout his undefeated innings. He will be important in this match and has a good record at this level. Yashasvi Jaiswal, the left-handed opener for the Lucknow Super Giants, was hitting the ball with the same precision as we witnessed during the Test series against England. He reached 24 before being removed from the game.

Trent Boult, a left-arm fast bowler, is still one of the most reliable opening bowlers in the IPL. After getting rid of Quinton de Kock and Devdutt Padikkal in his opening two overs in the previous game, he enters this one. Midway through the 18th over of the match versus Lucknow, bowling all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin grabbed the vital wicket of Marcus Stoinis. He was accurate the entire time.

Fast bowler with a right arm If Rajasthan needs another bowling option in this match, Sen might be a good addition to their squad. All-rounder Abid Mushtaq, who bats left-handed, is our prediction to be the batting impact player if they need one.

Rajasthan Royals Squads

Rajasthan Royals

Sanju Samson (c & wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Sandeep Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, and Avesh Khan.

Delhi Capitals

We do not expect seasoned right-arm pace bowler Ishant Sharma to be well enough to play in this match after he was forced off the field in Match 2 after only managing to bowl two overs due to an injury. When Rishabh Pant returned to the side, he appeared healthy and vivacious.

With 12094 T20 runs in his career, veteran Australian opener David Warner is expected to smash a ton more this IPL season. Mitchell Marsh, the batting all-rounder, scored two fours and two sixes at the top of the order, so we might anticipate an equally aggressive strategy in this game.

Although Kuldeep Yadav is a useful lower-order batsman, he demonstrated his skill with the ball in Match 2 by removing Jitesh Sharma and Prabhsimran Singh. Yadav is a left-arm wrist spinner. Khaleel Ahmed, a 26-year-old left-arm fast-medium bowler, will be optimistic after grabbing two wickets in an over to start the competition, but he will be trying to be more frugal this time.

We anticipate seeing Abishek Porel in the starting lineup for this match after he shined with the bat during the loss to the Punjab Kings. Should more bowling be needed, Mukesh Kumar is probably going to be called upon.

Delhi Capitals Squads

Delhi Capitals

Rishabh Pant (c & wk), David Warner, Shai Hope, Ricky Bhui, Mitchell Marsh, Tristan Stubbs, Sumit Kumar, Axar Patel, Abishek Porel, Khaleel Ahmed, and Kuldeep Yadav.

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals outfield report

Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

The IPL team batting second has won over 64% of the games played at this venue. Therefore, if either club wins the toss before this game, we guess that they will both opt to field first. Even though there will be clouds throughout this game, the temperature will still be warm—in the mid-30s. There will be no rain to disrupt the contest and a maximum humidity of 30%.

In the opening IPL match of the season, we witnessed a strong batting track at Sawai Mansingh Stadium with over 360 runs recorded. Nevertheless, there will be some support for bowlers who use a new ball pace, so hitters during the Powerplay will need to exercise extra caution.
