Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- DC’s fast-bowling duo is great at picking up early wickets and that is a big advantage to have
- RR has a dangerous batting lineup but it will be tested by the best bowling attack of IPL 2021 in this match
- DC has an in-form top order that is scoring runs very consistently
DC vs RR Analysis:
The Delhi Capitals registered a very comfortable victory against Snnrisers Hyderabad in their previous match and will now be taking on the Rajasthan Royals. The Royals escaped defeat by the skin of their teeth against the Punjab Kings but a win is a win, no matter what the margin.
Delhi Capitals have seven wins from nine matches and are well-placed at the top of the IPL 2021 standings. Rajasthan Royals are also very much in the fight for a place in the IPL 2021 playoffs.
We think both teams have shown enough for this to be a close match and plenty of good value betting opportunities to be available.
Match Details:
Date: September 25, 2021
Time: 03:30 PM (IST)
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi
Live Streaming: Disney+ Hotstar
TV: Star Sports Network.
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The conditions in Abu Dhabi are going to be hot and dry, as you might expect. The pitch appeared to be a bit slower and tacky in the previous match. We think it should be better this time around and offer more runs to the teams. The spinners have a bit more purchase in Abu Dhabi than in Dubai at the moment.
We do think this is going to be a higher-scoring match with totals around 170 likely to be breached in both innings.

Delhi Capitals (DC):
Delhi Capitals were very hard to beat in IPL 2020 thanks to their strong bowling attack and the same seemed to be the case in the previous match as well. Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada bowled brilliantly to ensure SRH’s inning went nowhere.
Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, and R Ashwin bowled the rest of the overs after Marcus Stoinis left the match with an apparent injury. It is unclear if Stoinis is going to be available but with the T20 World Cup approaching, we think he is going to be rested for a couple of matches at least.
We think the most likely replacement for Marcus Stoinis is going to be Sam Billings because he is an effective finisher as well.
DC has a strong batting lineup with its Indian top-order and a very well-balanced bowling attack as well. There is so much depth in this lineup that you can expect a certain level of performance from DC in most matches.
That does not make it unbeatable. It just means that the opposing teams will have to pull off something very special to beat it
Likely XI: Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Avesh Khan, Anrich Narkhia

Rajasthan Royals (RR):
RR won its previous match from a position that was completely hopeless. WinViz had predicted RR’s chances of winning as being ZERO with the last over to be bowled. Kartik Tyagi bowled the over of a lifetime and defended four runs from the final over.
Brilliant performances from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mahipal Lomror, Evin Lewis, and Liam Livingstone would have raised the confidence in the group.
We think RR is going to have a tougher time in this match, though. Yashasvi Jaiswal is going to be tested by the express pace of DC’s bowlers and Evin Lewis is not very comfortable against high pace either.
We are also a bit unsure about the middle-order of RR with Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, and Chris Morris not showing much form or having played much top-level cricket off late. The onus of scoring runs is going to be on Sanju Samson and Liam Livingstone, both of who can win the match on their own.
The bowling lineup for RR is not too bad but we think the conditions are not in their favor just yet. Mustafizur Rahman needs the pitch to be slower to be more effective, Chris Morris is a bit rusty, Chetan Sakariya looked out of form in the previous match, and Kartik Tyagi is a bit unpredictable as well.
Also, the RR spin attack is the weakest in the entire IPL right now especially if they continue not to use Liam Livingstone.
Likely XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Evin Lewis, Sanju Samson (C&W), Liyan Livingstone, Mahipal Lomror, Ryan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Chris Morris, Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakaria, Karthik Tyagi.
