IPL 2019: DC Predicted XI against RR - Delhi Capitals to make a change in middle-order
DC vs RR: In the absence of Rabada, Delhi’s bowling attack will be led by Trent Boult, but it is the shoddy performance of the batting unit which would be a cause of concern for skipper Shreyas Iyer.
Their play-off berth sealed, Delhi Capitals will aim for a big win against Rajasthan Royals to enhance their chances for a second-place finish when the two teams clash in their final IPL league match, at Feroz Shah Kotla on Saturday.

The Capitals, however have received a huge blow in the form of Kagiso Rabada, who was recalled by Cricket South Africa as a precautionary measure following the pacers back injury.
In the absence of Rabada, Delhi’s bowling attack will be led by Trent Boult, but it is the shoddy performance of the batting unit which would be a cause of concern for skipper Shreyas Iyer.
Chasing CSK’s challenging 179 for four, Delhi were shot out for just 99 with only Iyer (44) making a significant contribution.
The likes of Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Rishabh Pant would like to forget the disastrous outing against CSK and come out afresh in Delhi’s last home game. Hanuma Vihari could get a game in place of Colin Ingram, who hasn’t fired in this tournament despite getting repeated opportunities.
Delhi Capitals Predicted XI against Rajasthan Royals: 1 Shikhar Dhawan, 2 Prithvi Shaw, 3 Shreyas Iyer (capt), 4 Hanuma Vihari, 5 Rishabh Pant (wk), 6 Chris Morris, 7 Axar Patel, 8 Sherfane Rutherford, 9 J Suchith, 10 Amit Mishra, 11 Trent Boult
