Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected field first against the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Saturday. RR posted a massive total of 199 runs after the first innings. DC's batting unit has struggled in the first two games due to the raw pace of Mark Wood and Alzarri Joseph. The likes of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan will be relieved to face a mid-130 kmph attack comprising Trent Boult, KM Asif, and Jason Holder. However, the guile of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal could be challenging in the hot afternoon and early evening conditions. The Barsapara Stadium's pattern of scores suggests that batters get value for their shots, which might give some relief to DC. Additionally, the absence of dangerous Jos Buttler, who has got stitches on his little finger, could be advantageous for DC. However, DC's poor bench strength in terms of Indian talent is a significant drawback.
Rajasthan Royals' Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Sanju Samson have been in good form in the first two games and could pose a challenge for DC's bowlers. The usage of 'Impact Player' Aman Hakim Khan and Axar Patel's utility as a bowler with southpaws will be critical in DC's strategy.
Although RR lost their previous match, they remain the favourites to win this one. At Guwahati, any total less than 190 will be easy pickings for the team chasing, but the afternoon match will somewhat negate the dew factor.
