RR vs DC: Who will win today’s match between Delhi vs Rajasthan as captains Samson & Pant face off tonight?

Yesterday’s match between SRH vs MI was an absolute thrill to watch! Though Mumbai gave it their all and clocked a 246, Hyderabad had set their benchmark in the league. With a whopping 277 runs, this is the highest IPL score till date in this year’s league. After an electric match like this, the IPL fever is now spicing up the cricketing world even more. All eyes are now on the Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium of Rajasthan as RR vs DC face off tonight at 7:30 pm IST.

Google predicts a 57% win probability for the Royals. Rajasthan is just returning from a great win to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on March 24. Sanju Samson, an absolute batting prowess on the field, knocked a 82 off 50 balls, and the credit is owed to him for the team’s impressive scoring.

Riyan Prayag pocketed a quick 43 off 29 balls during middle overs, and Jurel’s quickfire of 20 runs in 12 balls fueled the score to move higher. Post setting a good score, Rajasthan restricted LSG to a final score of 173/6, and won by 20 runs.

On the contrary, Pant’s return to Delhi after a 14-month recovery period is nothing short of a miracle. Returning to professional cricket after a prolonged gap, the wicketkeeper-batter will need some time to return to his form as the season passes by.

Pant scored 18 runs off 13 balls in his first match back this season against Punjab, but Harshal Patel dismissed him. Despite not posting a huge total, DC is known for their team play and managed to reach a score of 174/9.

PBKS reached their target in 19.2 overs, and bagged their first win for the tournament. Don’t miss today’s clash between Delhi vs Rajasthan. Watch live cricket for free and witness live if Pant will make a robust comeback in today’s match or will Rajasthan smash their way forward?

Rajasthan vs Delhi: A quick look at the match stats

Delhi and Rajasthan can be put together in the same board, as they have had close competitions to date. Delhi and Rajasthan have played 27 matches so far in the IPL. DC have won 13 of those, while the latter won 14.

Speaking about Rajasthan’s home ground, Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium has not proved a spot luck for the home team. In their home ground, Rajasthan have won only 1 out of the 5 matches. That right there lies an opportunity for Delhi Capitals tonight!

In high-stakes matches, momentum can shift unexpectedly, favoring either team. Superior strategy and execution on the field will ultimately determine the winner.

In the last 5 IPL matches between RR vs DC, RR won 3 of them. DC last clocked a win against RR in IPL 2022.

The Royals have a strong batting core, but Jos Buttler needs to get back into the scoring zone soon. He had a terrible season the previous year and got off to a nine-ball 11 against the Lucknow Super Giants in the first game of this one. 

Despite Sanju Samson’s tendency to start strong and then fade, he looked comfortable in the opening contest. Riyan Parag, the Royals’ new No. 4, also seemed at ease in the opening match.

After missing the Capitals’ season opener to be with his family following the birth of his first kid, Anrich Nortje has landed in India. In two days of nonstop training, he could make it to the Capitals’ starting lineup right away.

Ishant Sharma, who hobbled off during the Capitals’ opening game after hurting his ankle while fielding, has been certified “available” for selection.

Mitchell Marsh and David Warner are rumored to be eager to stay as the opening batsmen for the Washington Capitals. He clearly rules Prithvi Shaw out.

Anrich Nortje’s return means one of Shai Hope or Tristan Stubbs will likely miss out. Nortje’s bowling could be the decisive factor in the match.

Pitch & Weather conditions

Rajasthan weather forecast reports that Jaipur will have a clean weather, with no signs of rainfall. The evening temperatures will average between 30 to 34 degrees, and the humidity won’t go beyond 31%.

However, the dryness can facilitate spinners in the pitch, and the batters need to maintain their cautiousness.
