Team News

• Shimron Hetmyer has left the bubble to go back home for the birth of his first child. He will be unavailable for at least two games and in his place RR may bring in Jimmy Neesham to strengthen both the batting and bowling

• DC is likely to remain unchanged despite the marign of defeat last game. Prithvi Shaw still remains unfit after getting a fever.

Key Players

Trent Boult

With Kuldeep Sen finishing the innings well Trent Boult is able to bowl more in his preferred phase of the game. He is a master with the new ball, can find swing with ease, and giving him extra overs upfront can put up a lot of pressure on the batters with his ability to pick up early wickets.

Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant has been a touch watchful this season and is often dismissed while trying to shift games. He is consistently getting starts but has struggled to kick on to a big score and may do a better job if he looks to go back to the aggressive style that has worked for him over the last few seasons.

RR vs DC Match Tips

RR are have been pretty consistent and is one of the more dangerous sides this season. They have a wonderful line-up while the Delhi Capitals are very inconsistent, putting them on the backfoot before the game.

Match Prediction: RR will win the match.
