 "IPL 2023")
The Indian Premier League would be seen last in Guwahati in today’s game as Rajasthan Royals host Delhi Capitals at the Barsapara Stadium. The match is important for both the teams as Delhi have not been able to get even a single win in their first two games while Rajasthan lost a close one to Punjab Kings last time they were in Guwahati.
The Royals missed out on a victory in the last game by just one hit. At one point it appeared they were getting there, but could not thanks to a brilliant spell of bowling from Nathan Ellis, who picked 4-30 in his four overs. Sam Curran was good in the last over too, as he defended 16 and managed to give away only 10 runs.
The Capitals are left with much to be done as none of their fiery foreigners Mitch Marsh, Riley Rossouw and David Warner have been able to blast off. Prithvi Shaw and Aman Khan have also not had the kind of outing that was expected of them.

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals, Pitch Report
The pitch at Barsapara is a high-scoring one and the ball comes onto the bat quite naturally. Playing through the line and trusting the bounce is obvious. With shorter boundaries, runs increase automatically. This is a day game so the dynamics could be slightly different for run-making.

Delhi Capitals playing combination
