Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals (DC vs RR) Today Match Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the DC vs RR Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. Rajasthan Royals will face Delhi Capitals in the 34th match of the TATA IPL, 2022 on Tuesday, 22 April 2022 at the Wankhede. Keep on reading for more information on the DC vs. RR game.
Delhi Capitals came to all guns blazing in their last match against Punjab Kings and registered IPL’s biggest victory in terms of remaining balls margin. They were down with covid uncertainty but Rishabh Pant brilliantly led the team and for the first time in the season, they looked ruthless. Again Warner and Shaw stole the show in the batting but it was spinners who were the main architect. Delhi will now look to build momentum from the last match’s heroics.
Delhi will be facing resurgent Rajasthan Royals who have been delivering consistent performances this season. Although they have been blessed with the individual brilliance of Jos Buttler in batting and Chahal in bowling but the overall team has also performed collectively. The spin twins of Chahal and Ashwin have been spinning their web in the middle overs against batsmen which is their main strength. They are in good shape and have won all matches batting first which is another positive.
Both teams are coming off a good win and the match will now be played at Wankhede where both teams lost their games. Rajasthan will be the favorites for this clash but past history favors Delhi as they have won 6 times in the last 8 encounters.
