Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals will be meeting Delhi Capitals for the second time this season in Wednesday’s exclusive face-off.  The initial match between these two sides wrapped-up on a controversial note where Sanju’s men won the game by 15 runs. The Royals look comfortable for the playoff standings, as they are presently occupying third position in the leaderboard standings with seven wins from 11 games played so far.

The Royals will be aiming to count two in two wins against Delhi Capitals by dominating Wednesday’s contest. Without any doubt , Rajasthan Royals emerged as one of the strongest sides this season with Jos Butler spewing fire with bat and carrying the finest grade of bowlers in the tournament this year. One change is on the cards and Prasidh Krishna could be rested for the next assignment while paving way for Navdeep Saini in the playing XI.

Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals are dealing with inconsistent run this season while backing five wins from 11 games. The Rishabh Pant-led side have not been able to win two matches in a row in IPL 2022. In their last game, Delhi Capitals couldn’t stand CSK’s storm and lost the bout with a huge margin of 91 runs which had a bad impression on their net run-rate. Delhi needs to win all the remaining schedules from here to stand a chance to qualify to the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals is walking on a thin wire and needs to see each of the following fixtures as a knock-out match. Delhi’s inconsistency to reciprocate momentum is a big worry and they need to overcome the short-coming by winning the revenge-oriented Wednesday’s game. Absence of Prithvi Shaw was felt badly in the last game and Delhi’s robust opener is expected to make a comeback in the battle against Royals.  

Topbets Prediction

Both teams will walk down the pitch while missing a few of their match-winners in team combination. Delhi Capitals have always made a headline comeback from a disastrous previous performance but here they are dealing with Rajasthan Royals who boast a vastly experienced core. Capitals are expected to exhibit an improved show but backing Rajasthan Royals’ win will be a smart deal.
