Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals
The Delhi Capitals took on the Kolkata Knight Riders in their most recent game that was played at Eden Gardens on the 29th of April. The match began with the Capitals winning the toss and choosing to bat first, where they started off badly, losing 3 wickets by the end of the 4th over, although they were still batting at a reasonable run rate. For the rest of the innings, their run rate slowed, and they lost wickets at frequent intervals until the innings was done and they ended on a total of 153/9. Top batsman was Kuldeep Yadav who scored 35 runs off 26 balls.
The Capitals then struggled with ball in hand and by the end of the powerplay they were yet to take a wicket. They then picked up 3 wickets at a decent rate but in the end, they were unable to put enough pressure on their opponents and they lost the match by 7 wickets with 21 balls remaining. Top bowler was Axar Patel who took 2 wickets for 25 runs in 4 overs.
The Rajasthan Royals went head-to-head with the Sunrisers Hyderabad in Hyderabad on Thursday the 2nd of May. The clash got going when the Sunrisers won the toss and elected to bat first, which seemed to be a mistake early on as the Royals took 2 wickets in the powerplay while restricting the Sunrisers to a low run rate. Thereafter the match opened up and the Royals began to struggle to keep things tight as well as to take wickets which resulted in the Sunrisers reaching a score of 201/3. Top bowler was Avesh Khan who took 2 wickets for 39 runs in 4 overs.
The Royals had a terrible start with the bat, losing 2 wickets in the first over but thereafter they stabilised and began to look good, forming a big partnership before the next wicket fell. When the 3rd wicket fell however the wickets began to drop more often and although the Royals gave it their all, they fell just 1 run short in the end of the 20 overs, losing the match. Top batsman was Riyan Parag who scored 77 off 49 deliveries.

Delhi Capitals 21/20
Rajasthan Royals 15/20
Suggested Bet: Yashasvi Jaiswal – Total Fours over 3.5 at 2.25
He was able to weather the early storm against the bowlers in the last game and put in a good performance with the bat, scoring 7 fours nd I am backing him to settle at the crease once again and land this bet.
Suggested Bet: Top Capitals Batsman – Jake Fraser-McGurk at 3.30
Although he had a bad game in the Capitals last encounter he has had an excellent season and I am backing him to put up a big total like he has done multiple times this season.
Suggested Bet: Rajasthan Royals to win at 1.75
They have been knocked off the top of the table by KKR but I fancy them to claim that spot right back. This bet also comes with the insurance of the Money Back for Most Sixes promo see details below.
