THE LOWDOWN
DELHI CAPITALS
- You wouldn’t know that Delhi Capitals’ preparation against Punjab Kings had been badly affected by Covid-19 as they delivered an outstanding performance to the field, beating Punjab by ten wickets.
- Mitchell Marsh is currently in hospital having tested positive for Covid and another overseas player in Tim Seifert is also confirmed as positive with both missing out in this match.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS
- Rajasthan Royals’ record across the 2022 IPL so far now stands at four wins and two defeats following their latest triumph against Kolkata Knight Riders this past Monday, which saw them expertly close the game out, winning by 7 runs
- Two of their top performers starred once again with Jos Buttler scoring his second hundred of the tournament, whilst Yuzvendra Chahal picking up a five-wicket-haul including a crucial hat-trick in the 19th over.
THE PREDICTION
Most people expected Delhi Capitals to struggle against Punjab Kings when taking into account the Covid-19 outbreak within their camp, only for Rishabh Pant’s side to put in arguably the best performance of the tournament. However, Rajasthan Royals represent an even higher level of difficulty with a number of players in wonderful form whether that be Buttler, Chahal or even former Capitals player Shimron Hetmyer, who has proven yet another outstanding pickup at the mega auction. This may perhaps prove a bridge too far for the Capitals when taking into account the recent performances of those players mentioned, so consider backing the Royals to come out on top at the Wankhede Stadium.
