IPL 2021: Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals: Preview, Timings, Live telecast, Live streaming details

The
Rishabh
Pant-led
side
had
a
sensational
first
leg,
winning
six
games
in
eight
outings.
They
started
the
second
phase
on
a
high
by
handing
laggards
Sunrisers
Hyderabad
an
eight-wicket
thrashing
on
Wednesday
to
maintain
their
top
spot
on
the
points
table.

On
the
other
hand,
Rajasthan,
who
were
struggling
to
find
their
feet
in
the
first
leg,
will
take
a
lot
of
confidence
after
snatching
a
two-run
victory
from
the
jaws
of
defeat
against
Punjab
Kings.

With
the
win,
they
have
bridged
the
gap
on
the
playoff
spots.
A
victory
against
Delhi
will
take
them
to
the
fourth.

For
Rajasthan,
youngsters
Yashasvi
Jaiswal
and
Mahipal
Lomror
rose
to
the
occasion
with
the
bat
against
Punjab
but
skipper
Sanju
Samson
will
be
expected
to
take
more
responsibility.

In
the
bowling
department,
pacers
Kartik
Tyagi
and
Bangladesh’s
Mustafizur
Rahman
did
the
job
in
the
end.

With
Punjab
needing
eight
runs
to
win
of
the
final
two
overs,
Rahman
gave
away
just
four
in
the
penultimate
over
before
rookie
Tyagi
bowled
a
sensational
final
six
balls,
picking
up
two
wickets
while
conceding
just
one
run
to
seal
the
side’s
fourth
win
of
the
season.

The
former
champions
will
look
to
keep
the
winning
momentum
going
and
bag
two
more
points
but
that’s
easier
said
than
done.

Come
Saturday,
the
Royals
will
face
a
tough
task
against
the
Delhi
team
with
openers
Shikhar
Dhawan,
the
leading
run-scorer
of
the
tournament
this
season,
and
Prithvi
Shaw
looking
in
good
touch.

Dhawan
(422
runs)
and
Shaw
(319
runs)
have
provided
flying
starts
to
their
side
with
six
half-centuries
between
them
along
with
88
fours
and
21
sixes.
For
any
bowling
unit,
facing
the
Dhawan-Shaw
duo
is
a
scary
proposition.

Shreyas
Iyer
made
a
stunning
return
with
an
unbeaten
47
after
missing
the
first
leg
due
to
injury,
which
is
a
big
positive
for
the
side.

DC
also
boast
of
a
strong
middle-order
comprising,
skipper
Rishabh
Pant
(248
runs),
Australian
Steve
Smith
and
Shimron
Hetmyer,
who
can
be
highly
destructive
on
their
day.

In
the
bowling
department,
Delhi
is
unlikely
to
tinker
with
their
pace
attack,
as
Avesh
Khan
has
been
impressive
and
South
African
Kagiso
Rabada
can
do
the
damage
early
while
Anrich
Nortje
provides
the
express
speed.
