Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals will lock horns in the 11th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. It is a double-header day at the IPL today and the first match between RR and DC will certainly leave the fans excited. This is also second and last game of the season in Guwahati and the Royals would like to bid adieu to their second home venue with a win. They lost to Punjab Kings in the previous encounter by five runs. Moreover, Buttler getting injured in the previous game must have left them worried. He is doubtful for the clash after getting stitches on his little finger.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals have found themselves in a spot this season in the absence of their regular skipper Rishabh Pant. David Warner has scored runs but they haven't come at a fair clip while the rest of the batters have struggled. Add to it, Mitchell Marsh's unavailability for one week and the issues grow manifold for the Capitals. Nevertheless, they will be motivated to perform well and add their first points to their tally this season.
