Preview:

After winning three games in a row, the Delhi Capitals’ (DC) winning momentum was broken in the match against the Mumbai Indians (MI). They lost that game by 5 wickets and thus slipped to the second spot on the points table. The Capitals would be hopeful of bouncing back and reclaiming the top spot on the points table as they gear up to take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in their next match.

The Royals lost to the Capitals in the previous encounter this season by 46 runs. However, the win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their last game was inspirational. They managed to bring back their derailed campaign on track and will be a confident unit going ahead. RR will want to keep the winning momentum going and make the competition even more interesting by winning this one.

DC vs RR Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:

Kagiso Rabada is miles ahead of anyone else in the leading wicket-takers list. In 7 games thus far, the South African speedster picked up 17 wickets.

Shreyas Iyer is the leading run-scorer for the Delhi Capitals. He scored 245 runs at the halfway mark of the tournament at a strike rate of 138.

Even though he struggled in the last few games, Sanju Samson is still the leading run-scorer for the Rajasthan Royals. He scored 202 runs at an average of 29.

Ben Stokes missed out in the last match and scored just 5 runs. But that was the first match he was playing in a long while and hence the rustiness. He could bounce back hard in this game.

Steve Smith also struggled in the last few games just like Sanju Samson. He got out for just 5 runs against SRH but is a champion player and could be back at his best in this match.
