The afternoon fixturesorts of the doubleheader of IPL 2021 is between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. This match will take place at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi at 3:30 pm.
Both the teams are coming into this match with an impressive victory in their last game. DC won their match against Srh in one sided fashion. Meanwhile, RR won the ball in a nail biting thriller against PBKS.
Delhi Capitals
The duo of Nortje and Rabada was in full flow against Hyderabad. As a result, all their problems have been solved after the inclusion of the South African pacer. With Shreyas Iyer coming back from an injury and scoring big, Delhi Capitals will be aiming for the top spot in the league stage.
Rajasthan Royals
Mahipal Lomror and Yashasvi Jaiswal played brilliantly to help the Rajasthan team set a target of 185 runs. In the second innings they were almost down and out with Punjab almost securing a dominant victory. However, Mustafizur Rahman and youngster Kartik Tyagi displayed an extraordinary death bowling performance to snatch the game from the jaws of defeat. As a result, the Royals are expected to give a tough fight to Delhi Capitals.

Fantasy XI Team
Yashasvi Jaiswal – 8.5 Cr
Yashasvi Jaiswal’s consistency makes him a good option to pick in this match and he also has the ability to score big. Moreover, his ability to adapt according to situations is what made me select him in the lineup.
Kartik Tyagi 8 Cr
Kartik Tyagi’s brilliant ability to bowl workers will be extremely crucial for the Royals if they want to restrict DC. After his performance against PBKS, it was an obvious choice to pick him in my fantasy 11 lineup.
Chris Morris – 9.5 Cr
Chris Morris has been an impactful player for the Royals this season. The South African has the potential to win games in his own. As a result, the all rounder will be crucial in today’s game.
Shreyas Iyer – 9 Cr
Shreyas Iyer played a classy knock of 47 in his return to the Delhi side. I have picked him as my captain for his ability to hold the innings for the side in trouble and also accelerate when required.
Kagiso Rabada – 9 Cr Vice-Captain
Kagiso Rabada has found his form as he ppicked up three wickets against Hyderabad. With Nortje on the other side, the pressure of Rabada seems to have waned off. Hence I have selected him as the vice captain for today’s fixture.
Anrich Nortje – 8.5 Cr
Nortje played his first game of the season for Delhi Capitals and made an instant impact. The South African pacer took two wickets with an economy rate of 3 runs per over. Hence
Shikhar Dhawan – 10 Cr
Shikhar Dhawan has been in terrific form in IPL 2021. As a result, he is expected to continue his exceptional form against RR.
Rishabh Pant 9.5 Cr
Rishabh Pant played an excellent inning of 35 from 21 balls against Hyderabad. The Delhi captain looks in good form and can help his team reach the desired target.
Liam Livingstone 9 Cr
Liam Livingstone showed glimpses of his capabilities against Punjab. Therefore I have selected him in my team as he could create a good impact in the middle order.
Prithvi Shaw – 9 Cr
Despite scoring low against Srh, the Delhi opener’s aggressive approach can help him score big today against RR.
Mustafizur Rahman – 9 Cr
The Bangladeshi pacer has a variety of deliveries in his arsenal. As a result, he can trouble the Delhi batsman at the end of the innings with his yorkers, change of pace and several other types of deliveries.
