0:

Up next in the Indian Premier League is the battle between Delhi and Rajasthan. While Delhi are continuing to deal with the COVID-19 crisis that hit their camp, it will be interesting to see how they perform against Rajasthan who have been one of the teams to beat this season and have 4 wins from their 6 matches so far. Delhi, on the other hand, have 3 wins and 3 defeats so far.

Prior to their face-off, here is what numbers suggest might happen in this fixture.

1. Toss Prediction

Delhi have won 4 out of 6 tosses so far. Meanwhile, Rajasthan have one just 1 toss out of their six games so far. So predicting Delhi to win the toss in match number 34 of IPL 2022.

2. Win Possibility

The head-to-head record between the two sides in the IPL stands at 50-50. The two franchises have met on 24 occasions in the past in this tournament and both have won 12 games each. However, this season Rajasthan have looked the more balanced side and have more wins than Delhi and a better win percentage as well. Predicting Rajasthan to win this game.

3. Team of the Day

The pick for the Team of the Day is Rajasthan based on their impressive run in the current season and their higher ranking on the points table for IPL 2022.

4. Powerplay Score

The match was set to be played at the MCA Stadium in Pune but has now been shifted to the Wankhede Stadium after Tim Seifert's positive COVID-19 test. The decision has been taken to reduce the risk of the transmission of the infection in case of an undetected COVID case during a long-distance bus journey.

The average powerplay score at this venue in this season has been 43.5. However, given the kind of form Rajasthan's top-order has shown with orange cap holder Jos Buttler already having scored two tons, they would clear the 45-run mark in the first six overs and so will Delhi with players like David Warner and Prithvi Shaw at the top.

5. Average first innings and second innings score

The average first innings score at this venue in IPL 2022 has been 158.16. Meanwhile, the average second innings score at this venue this season is 157.16.
