Dubai: Delhi Capitals (DC) will seek a return to winning ways while Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be looking to register a second win on the bounce in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
The last time these two sides squared off in the IPL 2020, DC came out on top, beating the Steve Smith-led unit by 46 runs. While DC will be longing for an encore of that performance, RR will target to settle the scores and make the head-to-head 1-1 in this season.
DC, with 10 points to their name, are currently in the top half in the points table. Meanwhile, RR are on the seventh spot in the standings with six points against their name.
One of the finest modern-day all-rounders played his first game for RR this season when the team faced Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). While he did not bowl much and could only score only 5 runs, opening the batting, the England international has time and again proven that he can single-handedly turn the game on its head.
While DC will be targeting their sixth win of the season, RR will target their fourth victory of the season and here are the players who could be decisive to their team’s fortunes in the game.
