Match Prediction – DC vs RR, 34th Match IPL 2022 – Who Will Win Today’s Match?

Delhi Capitals will be up against Rajasthan Royals in the 34 ^th match of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede in Mumbai, with the game moved out of Pune following COVID-19 cases in the DC camp. Delhi Capitals haven’t been at their best this season and they have won only three of their six matches so far. That changed around against Punjab Kings, who they thrashed by nine wickets. Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals have done immensely well and have won four of their six matches.

Despite that last win, Delhi Capitals haven’t been able to show their very best efforts so far. They have won only three games and are sixth in the IPL 2022 table. DC have six points to the name and a net run rate of +0.942.

After toppling the RCB top order, DC came up against formidable forces in Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed and most importantly, Dinesh Karthik. Maxwell struck a well-timed half century while Shahbaz Ahmed remained not out on 32 off 21 deliveries. However, it was Dinesh Karthik’s whirlwind knock of 66 not out off 34 deliveries, which turned the game in RCB’s favour as they ended up posting a huge total of 189/5.

In response, David Warner slammed his first half century for his new side during the run chase. However, following Warner and Rishabh Pant’s dismissal, Delhi weren’t able to get back into the game. They ended up falling short by 16 runs, as Josh Hazlewood picked up a three-wicket-haul against them. DC will also have to worry about off the pitch concerns as a few of their players and support staff have tested positive for COVID-19.

Against PBKS, their bowling was too good for PBKS and then David Warner and Prithvi Shaw made it a no-contest by making 81 runs in the poweprlay.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals are flying high at the moment. They are third in the table, just behind Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Sanju Samson’s side has eight points and a net run rate of plus 0.380. They recently defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by seven runs in what proved to be one of the most thrilling encounters in IPL 2022 so far.

Jos ‘The Boss’ Buttler continued his majestic form and slammed his second century of the season. Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer also played blinding knocks to take RR to a comfortable total of 217. However, KKR proved to be challenging opponents. Aaron Finch slammed 58 runs at a strike rate of over 200, while Captain Shreyas Iyer scored 85 off 51 deliveries.

With both batsmen set on the crease it looked like KKR would eventually get close to the total. However, Yuzvendra Chahal picked up four wickets in his final over of the match, which included the first IPL hat-trick this season, to completely turn the tide in his side’s favour. Chahal went on to finish with a five-wicket-haul and despite some powerful shots from Umesh Yadav in the last few overs, KKR eventually fell short by seven runs.

There’s little to separate the two teams in the IPL head-to-head record. Delhi Capitals have won 12 matches while Rajasthan Royals have also been victorious on 12 occasions. DC have, however, won the last four matches between the two teams.

The addition of David Warner is expected to add more impetus up top along with Prithvi Shaw. However, their middle-order has looked pedestrian. DC will also rely heavily on Kuldeep Yadav, Shardul Thakur, and Axar Patel.

For Rajasthan Royals all eyes will be on their batting unit comprising stars like Devdutt Padikkal, Jos Buttler, Shimron Hetmyer, and Sanju Samson. Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravichandran Ashwin and Trent Boult will also be players to watch out for.

Who will be the best match bowler?

Yuzvendra Chahal is one of the most accomplished spin bowlers to emerge out of the Indian Premier League and find sustained success.

He’s arriving into this clash after picking up a five-wicket-haul, which included a hattrick, in the last match.

Who will win today’s man of the match?

David Warner, Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw and Shardul Thakur are expected to be in contention from Delhi Capitals. From Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson, Shimron Hetmyer, Yuzvendra Chahal and Trent Boult could be key.

Who will be the best batsman for Delhi Capitals?

Prithvi Shaw is one of those players who can decide a match in the powerplay itself. Shaw has an excellent IPL strike rate of over 146 and will be looking for a longer stay at the crease.

Who will be the best batsman for Rajasthan Royals?

Jos Buttler is the most in-form batsman in the Indian Premier League and he has already slammed a couple of centuries so far.
