RR vs DC IPL 2024 Dream 11 Prediction, Playing 11, Today Match 9 Pitch Report

Wicketkeeper Showdown Looms in Tantalizing RR vs DC IPL 2024 Clash

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is set to witness a firecracker of a contest as the Rajasthan Royals (RR), led by the swashbuckling Sanju Samson, lock horns with the Delhi Capitals (DC) helmed by the explosive Rishabh Pant.

This highly anticipated encounter marks the 9th match of the ongoing IPL 2024 season and promises a battle of titans behind the stumps.

Royals Riding High on Opening Victory

Rajasthan Royals enter the clash brimming with confidence after a convincing win over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their opening fixture. Their batting lineup fired on all cylinders, with skipper Samson anchoring the innings with an unbeaten fifty.

Youngster Riyan Parag chipped in with a valuable knock, providing crucial support at the crease. The bowling attack, launched by the lethal Trent Boult’s new-ball spell, displayed exceptional unity as all bowlers. The clinical bowling performance ensured a comfortable victory for the Royals, defending 194 runs.

Delhi Capitals Look to Bounce Back After Stuttering Start

The Delhi Capitals, on the other hand, will be aiming to bounce back from a disappointing defeat against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in their opening match.

The batting team could only score 174 runs, even though Abhishek Porel, a 21-year-old prodigy who came in as an Impact Player, played valiantly and contributed 32 runs off just 10 balls. The hosts could successfully chase the target with four wickets to spare, as the bowling attack failed to meet expectations.

Stage Set for a Captivating Contest

With both teams eager to prove their mettle, the RR vs DC clash promises to be a riveting spectacle. The battle between the two dynamic wicketkeepers, Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant, will be one of the key matchups to watch.

The bowling units will also be under the scanner, with fans expecting a display of sharp pace and guile. The energetic atmosphere of the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is sure to add another layer of excitement to this much-awaited encounter.

Pitch report

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur offers a unique twist for captains. Traditionally, the pitch favours teams chasing later in the innings. This is reflected in the win-loss statistics, with teams batting second emerging victorious in 34 out of 53 IPL matches played there.

However, there’s always a chance to defy the trend. Rajasthan Royals themselves proved this in their opening match of the season, winning despite setting the target first.

This is a batting-friendly wicket. Pacers got some dividend with the bounce and variations, otherwise, bowers did not get much benefits from this wicket. We can expect lots of runs in these wickets from both teams.

Weather Report

Look out Jaipur! Thursday is shaping up to be a cloudy one. Expect mostly overcast skies with temperatures around 34°C in the evening. However, it won’t be all cool breezes. The day will see a rise in humidity, reaching up to 27%. Thankfully, there will be some relief with moderate winds expected to blow around 8 km/h.
