We take a look at Picks for the match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. We will look at head-to-head records, stats, and players to look out for in the upcoming match.

Current form for DC: L L W L W

Delhi Capitals did a great job in their previous match against Punjab Kings despite Covid-19 issues in their camp, which goes to show the character of the team. DC came up with a fine bowling performance against Punjab Kings and the duo of Prithvi Shaw and David Warner obliterated the opposition with their pyrotechnics.

Current form for RR: W L W L W

Rajasthan Royals have done a decent job so far in the tournament. Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal have been amazing for the franchise as they are the Orange and Purple cap holders respectively. But their death bowling is still a concern as they haven’t been able to put a lid on the scoring rate in the last five overs.

Head to Head: Matches: 24, Won by DC: 12, Won by RR: 12.

It is even-stevens as far as head-to-head is concerned.
