Indian Premier League 2020: Rajasthan Royals vs. Delhi Capitals, Match No. 23

Match predictions
Winners Prediction: Rajasthan Royals started their season with two back-to-back wins in Sharjah but succumbed to losses in their next 3 matches. RR rely heavily on their top-3 and the return of Ben Stokes will be a big boost for the team. Delhi Capitals have moved from strength to strength in every match and are currently placed second in the points table. They have a good batting and bowling attack which gives excellent depth to the team. We expect Delhi Capitals to win this match.
Score Prediction: Sharjah will be expected to be a graveyard for the bowling units. The pitch might slow down in the second innings and we expect a variable bounce in later stages of the match.
Toss Prediction: Teams would opt to bat first despite a batting paradise on offer. The pitch might slow down in the second innings making it tough for the batsmen.
Predicted Playing XI:
DELHI CAPITALS: MS Dhoni (C & Wk), Shane Watson, Faf Du Plessis, Ambati Rayudu, Kedhar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Piyush Chawla, Sam Curran, Lungi Ngidi, Murali Vijay, Deepak Chahar
RAJASTHAN ROYALS: Sanju Samson (wk), Steve Smith (c), Yashaswi Jaiswal, David Miller, Riyan Parag, Varun Aaron, Tom Curran, Jaydev Unadkat, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Robin Uthappa
