How do the teams stack up?
Delhi Daredevils
Even after losing to CSK, Delhi Daredevils is likely to face Rajasthan Royals with the same team. The bowlers had a bad day but DD’s batting looked pretty strong. Rishabh Pant and Vijay Shankar’s fiery batting took the Delhi Daredevils so close to victory. The middle order’s performance is comforting; however, the opening partnership has to click very well to put more runs on the board. Liam Plunkett was highly expensive and should buckle down. There is a possibility that Shahbaz Nadeem might come in place of Rahul Tewatia as Rajasthan has a lot of right-handers.
DD Probable Final Playing 11:
Prithvi Shaw, Colin Munro, Shreyas Iyer (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Glenn Maxwell, Vijay Shankar, Liam Plunkett, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Trent Boult
Players to watch out for: Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer
Rajasthan Royals
The batting unit of Rajasthan Royals has performed hot and cold this season. The opening partnership of Ajinkya Rahane and Rahul Tripathi fails to be steady and consistent. Sanju Samson along with Ben Stokes should set the pace in the middle orders. Jos Buttler poor form continues and hence Heinrich Klassen might find his way into the playing eleven. The RR management could try promoting Krishnappa Gowtham up. The bowling unit of RR looks potent, especially after Jofra Archer joined the squad.
RR Probable Final Playing 11:
Ajinkya Rahane (c), Rahul Tripathi, Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Krishnappa Gowtham, Mahipal Lomror, Jofra Archer, Dhawal Kulkarni, Isha Sodhi, Jaydev Unadkat
Players to watch out for: Jofra Archer, Sanju Samson
