Delhi Capitals v Rajasthan Royals – Match Preview

Delhi have beaten Rajasthan in all of their last four head-to-head meetings, including once earlier in the IPL 2020.

Shimron Hetmyer and Ravichandran Ashwin starred for Delhi on that occasion and could be key again. Rajasthan can look to their pack of England stars again.

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium

When: Wednesday, 14 October 2020

Start time: 19:30 IST (14:00 GMT)

Pitch conditions: Dubai would have hosted a match 24 hours earlier and is the most used stadium in the IPL 2020. The pitch, therefore, might be slowing down and lower scores of around 160 can be expected.

Weather conditions: Once again, hot and dry conditions are expected in Dubai on Wednesday. There is no forecast of rain, but the dew factor will make things moist and the team bowling second could struggle.

Delhi Capitals v Rajasthan Royals – Latest Odds

Funbet are among the new Indian betting websites we have tested and reviewed. We really like the depth of markets they have offered for the IPL so far.

For this match, they have the Rajasthan Royals priced as underdogs at 2.1 and the Delhi Capitals favourites at 1.62.

Delhi could be due another failure and the Royals are in some nice form, so betting on the underdogs might bring good value.

Delhi Capitals v Rajasthan Royals – Team News

The Delhi Capitals are looking a really good unit now, having found – more or less – their first-choice XI.

With Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw opening the batting and Marcus Stoinis the key all-rounder, the unit is nicely set.

They will continue to do without the injured Amit Mishra for the rest of the tournament, but Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel are formidable spinners regardless.

Delhi won’t have wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, though. He has been sidelined for a week by a hamstring injury. Delhi have also lost Ishant Sharma to injury.

The Rajasthan Royals have pushed Ben Stokes straight into the XI after his belated arrival to the IPL. He might open the batting again with fellow Enlgand star Jos Buttler.

With Steven Smith and Jofra Archer taking up the other overseas spots, that probably means no space for Tom Curran, Andrew Tye or David Miller.

Rajasthan’s homegrown batsmen Rahul Tewatia, Mahipal Lomror and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been impressive.

Delhi Capitals v Rajasthan Royals – Betting Tips and Prediction

Here are more IPL cricket betting tips free of charge for you. They are compiled by our experts, who have years of experience and are following the tournament closely.

Go for Iyer as the Top Batsman for Delhi

Shreyas Iyer is proving a really good captain for Delhi and he isn’t letting the responsibility negatively affect his role with the bat.

Iyer has been coming to the crease on the back of good platforms set up by Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw. He has been consistently good and is a good pick to be Delhi’s top batsman at 4.5 with 22Bet here.

Aim for Archer as Rajasthan’s Top Bowler

Jofra Archer has been bowling very well this tournament. His England career is blossoming and he is one of the superstars in the IPL 2020, with the bat as well.

He is extracting good pace and bowling the right lengths to succeed against batsmen entirely intent on getting after the ball. Archer is a solid pick at 2.87 with bet365 to be the top bowler for Rajasthan again.

Choose the Capitals to Dominate the Powerplay

Shaw and Dhawan will probably open the batting again. Alongside KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal of the Kings XI Punjab, they have been the standout openers of the tournament.

With Stokes and Buttler still finding their collective groove at the top of the Rajasthan order, it’s probable Delhi will do the best in the opening six overs. 1xBet have them priced to do so at 1.91.
