Recommended Bet by 10CRIC
While recent record is in favour of Delhi Capitals, the squads are revamped this year and Rajasthan Royals have shown better all-round quality in the matches so far in 2022. Rajasthan also have the better batting unit to counter the conditions in Wankhede, even if they lose the toss.
Keep an eye on…
Jos Buttler: Jos Buttler has smashed 375 runs in the season already and has been in sensational form. The RR opener has been carrying the batting line-up with the help of Sanju Samson to an extent the onus will once again be on him to do well for RR.
Kuldeep Yadav: The Delhi Capitals have won three matches this season and in each of them, Kuldeep Yadav has been the Player of the Match. The DC spinner has been sensational this season and is the second-highest wicket-taker in the season.
TIP: Rajasthan Royals are carrying around a run-scoring machine and have odds of 1.77 to be the team with the top batter.
