Match Predictions and Betting Odds
Delhi Capitals square off against Rajasthan Royals in match number 36 of this IPL 2021. Both teams got off to a winning start to kick-off the second half of this Indian T20 extravaganza.
Delhi Capitals recorded a thumping win over Sunrisers Hyderabad to move back to the top of the points table. The Rishabh Pant-led side have won seven out of their nine games and have one foot inside the door as far as the playoffs are concerned. One more win could well guarantee them a spot in the top four. However, they will want to keep the momentum going and seal a spot in the top-two as that will give them an additional opportunity of reaching the final (if they lose the qualifier).
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have a win-loss record of 4-4 at the moment. They pulled off a heist in the game against Punjab Kings. They batted first and put up 185 runs on the board. Punjab were cruising and needed just eight off the last two overs. However, Mustafizur Rahman and Kartik Tyagi conceded only five runs. Hence, the Sanju Samson-led side will be high on confidence heading into this game.
The head-to-head record between DC and RR is almost squared up. RR are marginally ahead and have 12 wins. Meanwhile, DC have won 11 games so far. In 2019 and 2020, DC won both the contests and earlier this year, it was RR who pulled off a win in a close contest.

RR may have won their last game against Delhi and also beat Punjab to kickstart their second half with a win but it is DC who will be ahead. Given their form and the record in the last couple of years, DC have the odds of 1.55 to win this game while RR’s winning odds are placed at 2.25.
