IPL 2021: RR vs DC – Match 7, Match Prediction – Who Will Win Today’s Match?

RR vs DC Dream11 Prediction: The 7^th match of the 14^th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2021) will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai on Thursday, April 14, 2021.

RR vs DC Match Preview

In one of the most-awaited clashes of VIVO IPL 2021, former champions Rajasthan Royals will take on Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Delhi Capitals (DC), the 2020 runners-up, made a terrific start to the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). The team, led by newly-appointed captain Rishabh Pant, thrashed the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by seven wickets at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai after chasing down 189 runs.

Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, haven’t had the best of starts to IPL 2021. Injury concerns and a heart-breaking loss to the Punjab Kings in their first IPL 2021 game have hit them hard and now Ben Stokes’ absence in the team will add salt to their misery. Either England all-rounder Liam Livingstone or South African batsman David Miller are expected to make the Royals 11 in place of injured Stokes. Although their bowling attack did look a touch undercooked, the Royals will fancy their chances on Thursday.

RR vs DC Weather & Pitch Report

Pitch Report

A run-fest is on the card at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday as there will be little respite for the bowlers. The faster bowlers might get some purchase from the surface as they will extract some bounce an swing early on. But the Wankhede strip will remain ideal for the batsmen, who will enjoy the ball coming onto the bat. The dimensions of the ground also go against the bowlers, who will need to be smart with their lines and lengths. With dew expected to play a role, both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss. Although 170-180 should be par at the venue, both RR and DC are capable of breaching the 200-run mark.

Weather Conditions

The sky will be clear for the entire day while the chance of raining is very low, just around 5% and fans can expect another good T20 match in this upcoming IPL 2021 contest without any rain interruption while the temperature of the day can be between 35°C and 26°C.
