Today’s IPL 2019 match is between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Game 40 is the first between these two teams this season. Rajasthan are seventh on the IPL points table and Delhi are at third.
On form and with a stronger bowling attack, Delhi are the team with the upper hand.
RAJASTHAN ROYALS & DELHI CAPITALS LIKELY TEAMS
With Jos Buttler away for the birth of his child, Rajasthan will likely keep the same team. The only possible change is that Ajinkya Rahane gets dropped and Rahul Tripathi returns.
Rajasthan Royals likely XI: 1 Sanju Samson, 2 Rahul Tripathi/Ajinkya Rahane, 3 Steve Smith (capt), 4 Ben Stokes, 5 Riyan Parag, 6 Ashton Turner/Liam Livingstone, 7 Stuart Binny, 8 Jofra Archer, 9 Shreyas Gopal, 10 Jaydev Unadkat, 11 Dhawal Kulkarni
Expected changes: Ajinkya Rahane for Rahul Tripathi
Delhi Capitals’ lower middle order remains a problem area but the team may stick with the combination which beat Kings XI Punjab.
Delhi Capitals likely XI: 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Prithvi Shaw, 3 Shreyas Iyer (capt), 4 Rishabh Pant (wk), 5 Colin Ingram, 6 Sherfane Rutherford, 7 Axar Patel, 8 Amit Mishra, 9 Kagiso Rabada, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Sandeep Lamichhane
Expected changes: None
Sanju Samson (wk), Steve Smith (VICE-CAPTAIN), Shreyas Iyer, Shikhar Dhawan (CAPTAIN), Prithvi Shaw, Riyan Parag, Axar Patel, Shreyas Gopal, Sandeep Lamichhane, Kagiso Rabada, Jofra Archer
