RR vs. DD Prediction (Rajasthan Royals vs. Delhi Daredevils)

Rajasthan Royals were beaten in the final over by Chennai Super Kings by a hefty margin of five wickets whereas Delhi Daredevils surrendered another game of the tournament vs. Royal Challengers Bangalore. RR are occupying the third spot on the table with 12 points from 10 games and DD are reeling at the bottom with four mere points. The forthcoming match looks unbalanced but DD will try to give a tough fight against their rival side.

Players to watch

Shane Watson, Ankit Sharma and Stuart Binny were the only batsmen of RR who entered the double figures in their previous game which they lost vs. Chennai Super Kings while they will anticipate another big contribution from Ajinkya Rahane. Pravin Tambe is bowling at his best with the assistance of Rajat Bhatia and James Faulkner.

Jean-Paul Duminy, Kevin Pietersen and Mayank Agarwal were among runs in their previous game whereas Dinesh Karthik can bat aggressively. No bowler of DD attained 10 wickets in the event so they will require accurate bowling from Mohammed Shami, Shahbaz Nadeem and Siddarth Kaul.
