The race for the playoffs is getting intense with every passing game. It is the battle between teams ranked number 3 and 5. But the fact of the matter is RR has notched up a couple of wins more than DC at this stage. RR has 7 wins from 11 games while DC has 5 wins from the same number of games. It is a decisive game from Delhi’s perspective. They can’t afford any slip-ups from hereon. The match will be played at the DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai.

Current Form: Rajasthan Royals

They are one team that boasts of having specialists in their squad. Their top-order is solid with Jos Buttler leading the run charts. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, and Sanju Samson have provided him with able support. Shimron Hetmyer has been excellent in finishing off the innings. He has been clinical in his approach. It has been his knocks down the order that has proven to be the difference between RR winning and losing it. The bowling has been exceptional too. Yuzvendra Chahal has led the wicket charts with other bowlers hunting in a pack.

RR stuttered a little in the middle. They suffered two consecutive defeats after having a flying start in the season. RR thankfully got their campaign back on track with a comfortable win over Punjab. They have 14 points in their kitty. A win over Delhi will almost guarantee them a spot in the playoffs. 

Current Form: Delhi Capitals

The Delhi Capitals were expected to blow away opponents with the squad at their disposal. But it has not been easy going for the Capitals. They have failed to stitch two wins in a row so far. The off-field issues too have curbed them from taking off. But Delhi has no one except themselves to blame for the inconsistent showing so far.

The last time they faced RR, DC fell agonizingly short. They felt they were hard done owing to some crucial umpiring errors. DC won against KKR to ignite hopes of a consistent run. But they came a cropper against CSK. DC’s big loss meant their net run rate dipped too. It has left them with 5 wins in 11 games. DC can’t afford a loss at this stage. They need to bring their best game against RR.
