Preview
Rajasthan Royals will play their second home match of IPL 2023 season at the Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati against their near rivals Delhi Capitals on April 8, in the afternoon. RR lost their previous game in a last over thriller against PBKS by five runs. Meanwhile, DC have started their IPL campaign poorly with two big losses that have put them firmly in the bottom half of the points ladder.
The batting line-up of RR has been very precise in its attacking intent in the first two matches of the IPL except for Devdutt Padikkal, while their bowling line-up has to find some consistency in their performances. For DC, the form of Kuldeep Yadav and the return of Anrich Nortje is a plus, but their batting line-up have to improve drastically to have any chance at winning their first game of the tournament.
Toss Prediction
Since 2020, RR and DC have faced off against each other 6 times with both teams winning 3 tosses each. But with Sanju Samson having won more tosses in IPL in comparison to David Warner, Rajasthan might have the edge against Delhi in the toss battle.

Win Possibility
Delhi Capitals have a 4-2 win and loss record against Rajasthan Royals from the beginning of IPL 2020 season. But RR has had a far better start to the new season of IPL in comparison to DC. Looking at recent history and current form of both teams, Royals will be looking to make their home advantage count at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati before returning to their spiritual home in Jaipur.
Powerplay Score and First Innings Score
Barsapara Cricket Stadium produced a high scoring thriller in its first match of IPL 2023 between RR and PBKS. In an afternoon game, fewer runs might get scored compared to a night game but we should expect the powerplay to be around 48-56 and the first innings score to get up 172-184.
