We’ve seen some exciting games with close finishes in the Indian Premier League 2023. The Rajasthan Royals, who fell short against the Punjab Kings, will be looking for their second win of the season in the 11th match. The Delhi Capitals were defeated by the Gujarat Titans in their previous game, and they will need to get their act together to earn their first points of the season.
Both games have been lost by the Delhi Capitals. The team that was plagued by injuries before the start of the season has failed to compete in either game. This game will put their mental fortitude to the test. The Royals have a strong batting lineup and a good spin-bowling combination, and they’d like to avoid a repeat of their previous performance.
The 11th Match between Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals will take place on April 8th, 2023 at Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati.

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals
Rajasthan Royals (Match Odds – 1.85):
Preview:
Sanju Samson would be disappointed with the 5-run loss to the Punjab Kings. In the previous game, their bowlers failed to execute the plans, and Samspon experimented with the batting lineup, which cost them by the end of the game. The Royals captain hopes to learn from it as he prepares for the next game. The Delhi Capitals haven’t looked in great shape, and Sampson wants to take advantage of that.
The fact that Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal did not open the batting in the previous game defied logic. They are a formidable pair who will look to provide an electrifying start. Sampson is in good form and would like to add some quick runs in the middle order with Devdutt Padikkal and Riyan Parag. Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Jason Holder round out the batting lineup.
The bowling attack performed poorly in the previous game. Trent Boult and KM Asif must perform admirably with the new ball. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal would like to hunt as a pair and add teeth to this attack. Jason Holder brings a wealth of experience and will need to exploit his height to cause problems for the Delhi batters.
Full Squad:
Sanju Samson (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Devdutt Padikkal, Jos Buttler, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, Obed McCoy, Navdeep Saini, Kuldeep Sen, Kuldip Yadav, R Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, KC Cariappa, Jason Holder, Donovan Ferreira, Kunal Rathore, Adam Zampa, KM Asif, Murugan Ashwin, Akash Vashisht, Abdul P A, Joe Root

Players to watch out for:
Jos Buttler
The English right-handed opener took two excellent outfield catches but also suffered a minor finger injury on Wednesday. He is expected to be fully fit for this match, however, and is in excellent form.
Yuzvendra Chahal
The spinner was expensive against Punjab Kings but still managed to pick up a wicket. Only one of his last nine IPL appearances has he gone wicketless.
Ravichandran Ashwin
The off-spinner was the most economical of any player on either side on this pitch on Wednesday and will relish the chance to bowl on the same surface again in this game.
Possible Playing XI:
Sanju Samson (c & wk), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, KM Asif, Yuzvendra Chahal
Delhi Capitals (Match Odds – 2.05):
Preview:
David Warner has been fighting for the team on his own. The team’s lack of batting form hurt them in their last game, which they lost by 6 wickets to the Gujarat Titans. They must avoid a third consecutive defeat, which could undermine their confidence. Waner must take the lead and instill confidence in the camp.
Prithvi Shaw has struggled to convert his starts, and he must help David Warner build a solid platform at the top. Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, and Sarfaraz Khan will be needed for runs as the middle order is out of form. Axar Patel, Aman Hakim Khan, and Abhishek Porel must perform to lift the team out of its batting slump.
The bowling attack hasn’t helped the team’s standing. They need tighter spells from Mukesh Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed with the new ball. Anrich Nortje adds pace to the attack and, along with Mitchell Marsh, must perform well in the middle overs. Because their opponents have batting depth, Kuldeep Yadav and Patel will play an important role.
Full Squad:
David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Ripal Patel, Rovman Powell, Sarfaraz Khan, Yash Dhull, Mitchell Marsh, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Chetan Sakariya, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Khaleel Ahmed, Lungi Ngidi, Mustafizur Rahman, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Praveen Dubey, Vicky Ostwal, Ishant Sharma, Phil Salt, Mukesh Kumar, Manish Pandey, Rilee Rossouw

The left-arm spinner’s batting has improved to very high levels in recent years. He has already scored over 50 runs and taken a wicket this season.
Anrich Nortje
After missing the first game due to international commitments, Nortje took a wicket against Gujarat Titans with the first ball of his first two overs.
Possible Playing XI:
David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Rossouw, Sarfaraz Khan, Axar Patel, Abishek Porel (wk), Aman Hakim Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Anrich Nortje, Mukesh Kumar

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Toss Prediction
The pitch was a belter in the previous game, and plenty of runs should be available. The game is in the afternoon, and there will be dew in the second inning under the lights. The team that wins the toss will look to bowl first and chase the score when the batting conditions are favorable.
Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Pitch Report
The surface at Guwahati’s Barsapara Cricket Stadium allows batsmen to play on the up, and the fast outfield helps them. It’s not the best place for spinners because the ball doesn’t turn but just skids through. Fast bowlers perform well because they get the ball moving.

On April 8, Guwahati will have clear skies. As we saw in the previous game, the wicket is flat and will be a pleasure to bat on. The bowlers, who must get their lines right, will have no mercy. To feel confident, the team batting first needs 180 runs on the board.
Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals Prediction
The Delhi Capitals have lost both games, with the middle-order batters to blame. They will need to add runs if they are to challenge the Rajasthan Royals in this game and avoid getting into trouble. The Rajasthan Royals have a strong batting lineup that bats all the way up to No. 8. It makes them the favorites to win this game. Check out the odds at Cricbaba!
