Match Predictions and Team Previews
h3>Last match between RR and DCThe two sides last met on 14 October 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Batting first, DC posted a score of 161/7 in their allotted overs, thanks largely to fifties by Dhawan and Iyer. Jofra Archer (3/19) and Unadkat (2/32) were the most successful RR bowlers. When RR replied, they used a new opening combination of Stokes and Buttler who got them off to a flier, with a 37 runs stand in 3 overs. Despite the regular fall of wickets, RR were well-placed at 97 for 3 in the 12th over before an inexplicable collapse saw them restricted to 148/8, handing DC a 13-run win.
By contrast, DC are strong in every area. In Shaw and Dhawan they have in-form openers. They bat deep, with R Ashwin at number nine. The induction of Woakes has given the team greater strength in bowling as evidenced by the English all-rounder’s performance against CSK on 10 April. Avesh Khan’s impressive performance with the new ball in that game will only add to the DC team management’s confidence ahead of the game against RR.
