DC vs RR Match Preview: 

Delhi Capitals produced an all-round performance in their last fixture against Punjab Kings. David Warner maintained his excellent form, smacking his third consecutive fifty in four matches. Shaw has also been firing at the top despite having trouble tackling swing. The middle-order is yet to fire this season. 

DC bowlers - Khaleel Ahmed, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel & Kuldeep Yadav picked up 2 wickets each against PBKS while Mustafizur Rahman picked up 1 wicket to bundle out the opposition to the lowest team total in this season till now - 115/10 in 19.5 overs. 

RR opener Jos Buttler is in an impeccable form this season, having already smashed two centuries in 6 matches he has played. Sanju Samson fired in the first match while a big score can be expected any time from Devdutt Padikkal, who has looked more in touch after getting to open the innings in stead of Yashasvi Jaiswal. Shimron Hetmyer has looked dangerous all along and can provide explosive finishing. 

Royals' bowling is probably the most dangerous this season, managing to defend targets everytime. With the Purple Cap holder Yuzvendra Chahal's mastermind spin web and Ashwin choking runs at the other end, the middle overs are the toughest for the opposition to get through. Trent Boult has been his usual lethal self with the new ball while Prasidh Krishna also carries the skills required to trouble big batting names.
