Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje were the keys behind Delhi’s success the other night as the South African pace duo combined a 5-wicket haul to their name. Shreyas Iyer and Shikhar Dhawan shone with the bat and cruised to the target set by SRH.

For Rajasthan Royals, Kartik Tyagi proved to be the hero when they took to the field last time in the IPL. Tyagi bowled a superb 20th over to defend 4 runs as he picked up a couple of wickets in the last over of the game.

Bowling First Could Prove To Be A Winning Decision

The 3 different pitches at the three different venues have behaved quite differently so far in the second leg of IPL 2021. The pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi has looked to be a great batting track and hence, bowling first might be a good choice as the two sides like to chase the total.

In the batting department for Rajasthan Royals, all eyes will be on Evin Lewis, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, and Liam Livingstone to provide them with the firepower. For the Delhi Capitals, Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant can lead their team to a win and secure a confirmed spot in the playoffs.
