Dubai: The Delhi Capitals are set to lock horns with
Rajasthan Royals this evening as today marks for the 30th match to
be played in this year’s Indian Premier League. Rajasthan Royals have had been
experiencing a muddled season as they sit seventh in the points table. The
return of England international, Ben Stokes revived spirits both in the squad
and the fanbase itself. Though, Stokes wasn’t able to play a significant part
in his returning match when Rajasthan faced Sunrisers Hyderabad. Arguably one
of the best all-rounders in current cricketing era, Ben Stokes would yet play a
pivotal role in changing the fortunes of Rajasthan team. Along with Stokes, the
Rajasthan team is not short of talents with the likes of Steve Smith, Sanju
Samson. Rajasthan would look to bag a win in two consecutive matches.
On the other hand, the cricketing gods finally smiled on
Delhi Capitals who stumbled season after season finishing in the lower half of
the table. IPL 2020 has seen a surprising resurgence and conviction in Delhi
players which helped to nab wins against formidable sides and would look to
continue the high-flying form against Rajasthan Royals. Despite losing the last
match, Delhi would not want to miss a step in their journey to the play-offs. Kagiso
Rabada, Joffra Archer and Steve Smith along with Sanju Samson and Ben Stokes
would be key players in their battle against the Delhi Capitals.
