Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals lock horns in the weekend fixture as Tata IPL 2022 is midway. Both teams will be looking for a win here.

Date & Time : 22nd April 2022, 7:30 PM IST

Venue : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai

Delhi Capitals are not having a bad tournament and with games to come, they must emphasize on winning more to ensure spot in the playoffs.

The Delhi team are at present sixth in the points table after six games with as many points.

Batting is now balanced with the advent of David Warner while in bowling they have a lot of options with a good mix of spinners and pacers. They just need to play their brand of cricket.

DC have so far won against MI, KKR, PBKS. They though have lost to GT, LSG & RCB.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have had a solid showing so far and they need to carry on in same passion with teams fast catching up.

RR are currently third in the points table after six matches with 8 points.

Rajasthan have a good batting lineup with the presence of Jos Buttler & captain Sanju Samson. An in-form Hetmyer is an added bonus. Bowling wise they have a lot of options. Purple cap holder Chahal will once again be looking to spin the magic. Obed McCoy is another add-on.

In terms of the head to head both teams are locked on 12 games each out of the 24 played.

For the wicket, it should aid the batsman with bowlers with good line & lengths reaping rewards.
