SRH vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 18th Match

SRH vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 18th Match | SRH vs CSK Dream11 Prediction Today | Hyderabad Pitch Report

523. It was the highest total aggregate runs scored in an IPL match over 16 seasons when Hyderabad hosted the game between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians a week ago. It’s all ready to host the stars-studded clash between the Sunrisers and the Chennai Super Kings.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have produced an aggressive start to the tournament with rock solid batting performances so far. But still they are placed at the lower-middle part of the points table with a single win in three games so far. A win would be all they want here at their home ground before playing three away matches.

After starting one more season in trademark style with two wins in initial two games, CSK come into this game after a failure against Delhi Capitals. But CSK fans won’t like to forget that game since their favourite MS Dhoni once again proved age is just a number. Dhoni and company will definitely give a resilient fight to the hosts and hence the world waits for another astonishing encounter in match number 18.

IPL 2024 18th Match: SRH vs CSK Possible Playing XI

T Natarajan had a niggle after the first match but is likely to return in place of Unadkat.

Sunrisers Hyderabad: 1. Mayank Agarwal, 2. Travis Head (OS), 3. Abhishek Sharma, 4. Aiden Markram (OS), 5. Heinrich Klaasen (OS), 6. Abdul Samad, 7. Shahbaz Ahmed, 8. Pat Cummins (c, OS), 9. Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10. Mayank Markande 11. Umran Malik/Washington Sundar, 12. T Natarajan/J Unadkat

CSK’s leading wicket taker Mustafizur Rahman has flown to Bangladesh to sort his US Work Visa for the 2024 T20 World Cup and hence is set to miss the SRH game. CSK may go back to Theekshana or introduce Santner for the first time in this season.

Chennai Super Kings: 1. Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), 2. Rachin Ravindra (OS), 3. Ajinkya Rahane 4. Daryl Mitchell (OS), 5. Shivam Dube, 6. Sameer Rizvi, 7. Ravindra Jadeja, 8. MS Dhoni, 9. Mitchell Santner/Maheesh Theekshana (OS), 10. Deepak Chahar, 11. Tushar Deshpande, 12. Matheesha Pathirana (OS)

Fantasy Cricket Tips for the 18th Match of IPL 2024: Key Players to Watch/Key Stats for SRH vs CSK

Sunrisers Hyderabad:

  • Abhishek Sharma has looked in superb form so far. He has scored 124 runs striking at 200 in three innings. While playing against CSK, he has scored 199 in six games with SR of 141.
  • Sunrisers top run scorer Heinrich Klaasen has been in beast mode since last year and this IPL is no different for him. He has scored 167 at a strike rate of 219.73 thus far. He also has good numbers at the venue (254 runs in five innings).
  • Mayank Markande could play a decent role in the middle overs phase. At Hyderabad he has taken 10 wickets in seven innings. It is one of his favourite grounds to bowl at. 
  • Bhuvneshwar Kumar has gone wicketless in all three games. Is this the day he picks up wickets? For SRH, he has taken just nine wickets in 15 innings against CSK at an average of 41.56.
  • If T Natarajan plays he would be one of the threats for the CSK batting lineup. Against CSK he has taken eight wickets in four innings. He did also look good in their first game this season with figures of 3-32.
  • Gaikwad has been dismissed by left-arm seam in all three matches so far in IPL 2024. Natarajan has a good head-to-head record against the opener, with overall figures of 2/27 in 17 balls.

Chennai Super Kings:

  • Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad hasn’t performed up to his reputations thus far. While playing in opposition of Sunrisers, 270 runs in five innings with SR 148 satisfies the fact that he likes to play against them.
  • Another CSK opener Rachin Ravindra gave two fantastic starts [37(15) & 46(20)] to the CSK innings in the powerplay. The talisman would again like to break the bowlers’ rhythm and set the tone on a potential batting friendly wicket.
  • Another kiwi all-rounder Daryl Mitchell is all set to entertain the fans with his ‘down the ground’ big hits against Daniel Vettori side. He also adds value with his medium-pace bowling if opposition gets going against the spinners.
  • While playing against SRH, MS Dhoni has scored 551 runs striking at 155.2. If he gets to bat in a very deep CSK batting line-up, he would surely re-beguile the viewers and CSK fandom.
  • Deepak Chahar has economy of 6.84 and has nine wickets in 10 games against SRH. He would aim to get through the top order in the powerplay itself. He has taken seven wickets in three innings at Hyderabad.
  • Matheesha Pathirana led the CSK bowling attack with nine wickets in their last game against DC. He could prove to be a threat for Sunrisers with his yorkers.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head to head : Matches 20, CSK 15, SRH 5.
  • In the last three years, CSK have defeated SRH five times in six meetings.
  • At Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium : CSK 2, SRH 2.
  • Ajinkya Rahane vs Bhuvneshwar Kumar in T20s: 90 runs off 103 balls (6 dismissals).
  • Ruturaj vs (Bhuvneshwar+Umran+Markande+Sundar) : 127 runs, 93 balls, 0 dismissals.
  • Mayank Agarwal vs Jadeja: 20 runs, 12 balls, 2 dismissals.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Hyderabad Pitch Report and Weather 

In the previous game held here, it was fully a batting wicket where the mountain of runs were scored. Out of eight, spinners took just two wickets. Batters will have fun here. One more high scoring game looks to be on the cards.

The temperature will be 35-40°C  & a clear sky is forecast.

GT vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 17th Match

GT vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 17th Match | GT vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Today | Ahmedabad Pitch Report

After losing their first match, Gujarat Titans are seeking their third-straight win. On the contrary, Punjab Kings are looking to avoid their third-straight loss after winning their opening encounter.

The 17th match of IPL 2024 has a sense of importance to it. Gujarat will go level with high-flyers Rajasthan and Kolkata with a win here, which is vital given their net run rate is a lowly -0.738. Last time out against SRH, the bowlers, led by Mohit Sharma, were efficient and the batsmen were equally impressive in the chase.

Indeed, today is a test of PBKS’ credentials. This game is an indication on whether this season can be any different for the franchise who need to keep pace with those ahead of them. Their bowling, which looks solid on paper, is in the spotlight, as is the consistency of their batting lineup.

IPL 2024 17th Match: GT vs PBKS Possible Playing XIs

GT look settled. They are likely to stick with the same combinations unless they add Shahrukh Khan into the fold.

Gujarat Titans: 1. Shubman Gill (c), 2. Wriddhiman Saha (wk), 3. Sai Sudharsan, 4. Azmatullah Omarzai (OS), 5. David Miller (OS), 6. Shahrukh Khan/Vijay Shankar, 7. Rahul Tewatia, 8. Rashid Khan (OS), 9. Noor Ahmad, 10. Umesh Yadav, 11. Darshan Nalkande, 12. Mohit Sharma

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Mohit Sharma/Shahrukh Khan or Vijay Shankar

PBKS’ XI also looks relatively settled but the spotlight is on where Sam Curran bats. He performed well at number four earlier this season.

Punjab Kings: 1. Shikhar Dhawan (c), 2. Jonny Bairstow (OS), 3. Prabhsimran Singh, 4. Jitesh Sharma (wk), 5. Sam Curran (OS), 6. Liam Livingstone (OS), 7. Shashank Singh, 8. Harshal Patel, 9. Harpreet Brar, 10. Kagiso Rabada (OS), 11. Rahul Chahar, 12. Arshdeep Singh

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Prabhsimran Singh/Arshdeep Singh

Fantasy Cricket Tips for IPL 2024 17th Match: GT vs PBKS Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

  • Since the start of 2022, Shubman Gill has struck 172 runs at an average of 57.33 and strike rate of 150.88.

Punjab Kings:

  • Shikhar Dhawan may have shaky matchups against GT bowlers, but he is a consistent runscorer. Since the start of last season, Dhawan has scored 510 runs at an average of 42.50 and strike rate of 140.1.
  • Sam Curran took 3/28 in his last match and also has runs under his belt this season, making him a strong option in fantasy cricket. Where PBKS choose to bat him will be interesting to see.
  • Liam Livingstone against Rashid Khan is a fascinating matchup. Livingstone has smashed 119 off 69 against the legspinner in all T20s, with four dismissals.
  • But, Rashid has the better of Livingstone in the IPL: 19 balls, 26 runs, three wickets.
  • PBKS will be banking on Kagiso Rabada to dismiss Shubman Gill early. He has dismissed the GT opener twice in 42 balls in the IPL, conceding just 43.

  • Head-to-head: Matches 3, GT 2, PBKS 1.

Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad Pitch Report and Weather

The pitch was on the slower side in the GT-SRH game on the weekend. However, that was a day game. Expect the ball to skid on better under lights.

According to ESPNcricinfo, a red-soil pitch could be used for this match as opposed to the black soil a few days ago.

A warm and mostly cloudy evening is forecast. So, there may not be a great amount of dew.

DC vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 16th Match | DC vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Today | Visakhapatnam Pitch Report

Match 16 of IPL 2024 sees Delhi Capitals, fresh off a morale-boosting win over CSK, take on Kolkata Knight Riders, who have won two from two matches.

DC’s batting clicked against Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team on the weekend, with the opening duo of David Warner and Prithvi Shaw setting the tone nicely before Rishabh Pant hit a nice fifty. With the ball, Khaleel Ahmed wound back the clock, with Mukesh Kumar also producing the goods. Despite a late blitz from MS Dhoni, DC won easily and sent a reminder of the danger they possess.

KKR look solid and will surely be itching to get back in action as their last match was back on March 29. They swept RCB aside easily at the Chinnaswamy, with Sunil Narine also winding back the clock. There were runs also for the two Iyer’s – Venkatesh and Shreyas – in a promising display, with form for Mitchell Starc now on the agenda.

IPL 2024 16th Match: DC vs KKR Possible Playing XIs

Kuldeep Yadav missed the CSK game due to a niggle. He could return in this match. Also, the Capitals may opt to give Jhye Richardson a go with Anrich Nortje looking rusty.

Delhi Capitals: 1. Prithvi Shaw, 2. David Warner (OS), 3. Mitchell Marsh (OS), 4. Rishabh Pant (c & wk), 5. Tristan Stubbs (OS), 6. Axar Patel, 7. Abhishek Porel, 8. Anrich Nortje/Jhye Richardson (OS), 9. Mukesh Kumar, 10. Ishant Sharma, 11. Khaleel Ahmed, 12. Kuldeep Yadav/Rasikh Salam

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Prithvi Shaw/Rasikh Salam or Kuldeep Yadav

For KKR, Venkatesh Iyer was holding his back in the last game against RCB. But, bowling coach Bharat Arun said he is “fit and rearing to go.”

Kolkata Knight Riders: 1. Phil Salt (wk, OS), 2. Sunil Narine (OS), 3. Venkatesh Iyer, 4. Shreyas Iyer (c), 5. Rinku Singh, 6. Andre Russell (OS), 7. Ramandeep Singh, 8. Mitchell Starc (OS), 9. Anukul Roy, 10. Harshit Rana, 11. Varun Chakravarthy, 12. Chetan Sakariya/Suyush Sharma

The Visakhapatnam track had some movement in it for the pacers in the DC-CSK match. The Delhi bowlers found more swing and movement than their CSK counterparts. KKR have the seamers to also make inroads into the top order. It then settled into a fine batting pitch.

A very warm and mostly clear evening is forecast.

RCB vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 15th Match

RCB vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 15th Match | RCB vs LKN Dream11 Prediction Today | Bengaluru Pitch Report

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants also met in the 15th match last season. That was an IPL classic, with Nicholas Pooran’s 19-ball 62 catapulting LSG to a magnificent chase of 213, achieved off the final ball with one wicket to spare.

The ball, as well as Avesh Khan’s helmet, copped a battering at the batting-friendly M Chinnaswamy Stadium. It’s rained sixes once again this season, with RCB’s bowlers struggling to cope in the conditions.

It will be interesting to see if Faf du Plessis’ team can get things right here. Virat Kohli has looked good, but others in the top five have not got going. Also, the attack has to find ways to keep what is a powerful LSG lineup in check.

Currently, both teams are outside the top four. LSG sit sixth but will move into the top four with victory here. RCB need to win as they sit second-last with two losses and a net run rate of -0.711.

IPL 2024 15th Match: RCB vs LSG Possible Playing XIs

Expect RCB to make a change in the bowling department with Reece Topley or Lockie Ferguson to replace the expensive Alzarri Joseph. Also, RCB need to nail down their batting order with Rajat Patidar looking uncomfortable at number five.

Royal Challengers Bangalore: 1. Virat Kohli, 2. Faf du Plessis (c, OS), 3. Cameron Green (OS), 4. Glenn Maxwell (OS), 5. Rajat Patidar, 6. Anuj Rawat (wk), 7. Dinesh Karthik, 8. Mayank Dagar, 9. Vyshak Vijaykumar, 10. Mohammed Siraj, 11. Yash Dayal, 12 Reece Topley/Lockie Ferguson (OS)

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Rajat Patidar/Reece Topley or Lockie Ferguson

For Lucknow, their impact player strategy may depend on KL Rahul’s fitness. Also, depending on the match situation, they may use overseas options Ashton Turner or Naveen-ul-Haq.

Lucknow Super Giants: 1. KL Rahul (c), 2. Quinton de Kock (wk, OS), 3. Devdutt Padikkal, 4. Nicholas Pooran (OS), 5. Marcus Stoinis (OS), 6. Krunal Pandya, 7. Ayush Badoni/Deepak Hooda, 8. Ravi Bishnoi, 9. Mohsin Khan, 10. Mayank Yadav, 11. M Siddharth, 12. Naveen-ul-Haq

MI vs RR Reactions: Fans slam Mumbai Indians after another poor defeat

MI vs RR reactions: Fans take aim at the Mumbai Indians after awful batting performance against Rajasthan Royals at Wankhede

Mumbai Indians (MI) have lost their third-straight game in IPL 2024, going down in a heavy defeat to Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Wankhede stadium. MI got off to a horror start, with three of their top four falling for golden ducks against the magnificent Trent Boult. Despite a flicker of hope from the Hardik Pandya-Tilak Varma partnership and fine Akash Madhwal spell, RR were always in control.

The nature of the defeat is concerning. A lot of the talk before the tournament was how the decision to replace five-time winning captain Rohit Sharma with Hardik would impact the team. There seems to be a sense of distraction among the playing group with outside noise growing more deafening by the minute.

Boos even rung out at the Wankhede during the toss.

R Ashwin came out in support of Hardik Pandya a few days ago, as have pundits and analysts. Sanjay Manjrekar even told the crowd to “behave”. There is a big focus on MI at the moment and it’s not on the cricket itself, which is greatly impacting their game.

Reactions: MI slammed for decision making after poor defeat against RR

There are still 11 games to go in the league stage. But, in a competitive league where only four playoff spots are up for grabs, MI need to get moving and fast. However, many fans believe the franchise have created such a mess that may be difficult to come out from this season.

“Mumbai have created such a mess for absolutely no reason, could have very easily handled the change well like many teams have done in the past. Hardik keeps bearing the brunt for it,” tweeted one fan.

Here are some other reactions from RR’s big win at the Wankhede.

Next up for MI is a crucial match against Delhi Capitals at the Wankhede on Sunday afternoon. The Royals will be back home to take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday night

A slow start to the season is not strange for the Mumbai Indians. But, this feels different. The spotlight is on their skipper Hardik Pandya, with R Ashwin coming out in support of the all-rounder. Also, the MI bowling attack is reeling after conceding a record 278 against SRH.

However, the fact they threatened to chase down the total shows the power they have. They are home for the first time this season, and there is no better way to mark the homecoming than with a win against the Rajasthan Royals.

Samson’s Royals are two from two. They overcame a challenging start against Delhi Capitals, with Riyan Parag emphasising how much he loves the number four role. A win at Mumbai will send an even bigger statement to the rest of the league.

R Ashwin shares thoughts on the Hardik Pandya situation

Cricket News: Rajasthan Royals and India offspinner R Ashwin has shared his thoughts on the Hardik Pandya situation that has dominated headlines

Ravichandran Ashwin has taken aim at India’s “fan wars” and “cinema culture” in light of the atmospheres that Hardik Pandya has faced so far in IPL 2024.

Hardik took over the captaincy from Rohit Sharma at Mumbai Indians this season – a decision that has not been met kindly among millions of Indian fans. The all-rounder has been subjected to booing and hostile receptions at both Ahmedabad and Hyderabad so far this season.

Pandya led the Gujarat Titans to the title in 2022 and then were within a whisker of defending it in 2023. Titans fans did not appreciate how things eventually panned out, with Hardik moving to the Mumbai Indians seemingly out of the blue.

India fans need to remember which country Hardik represents – R Ashwin

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin believes India fans should not pin fans against each other. He called for fans to “get their act together” and put an end to “ugly” scenes.

“People should remember which country these players represent. It’s our country, ” Ashwin said. “Fan wars should never take such an ugly route. I’ve said it many times, this is cinema culture, that happens only here.”

ALSO READ: Opinion – Why can’t certain India fans separate the IPL & the national team?

Ashwin then painted the picture of other countries. The offspinner said that this kind of fan war would not happen in England or Australia.

“I know there are many things like marketing, branding, and positioning. I don’t deny it, but have you seen these fights happen in any other country?” Ashwin continued.

“Have you seen, for instance, Joe Root and Zak Crawley fans have a fight? Or Joe Root and Jos Buttler fans fight? It’s crazy. Do you see Steven Smith fans fighting with Pat Cummins fans in Australia?”

“You are free to enjoy what you like about your favourite players or team, but not at the cost of putting another player down. This is one thing I’d love to see disappear from the face of the earth in our country.”

Ashwin’s Royals take on MI at the Wankhede on Monday. It shapes up as a crucial match for Hardik’s team given they have lost their opening two matches while the Royals are gunning for three straight victories.

LSG vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 11th Match

LSG vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 11th Match | LKN vs PBKS Dream11 Prediction Today | Lucknow Pitch Report

Lucknow Super Giants have had to wait the best part of a week to right the wrongs of their first-up defeat to Rajasthan Royals last Sunday. The form of Nicholas Pooran was the biggest positive, but there is room for improvement with regards to their bowlers and top order. A return home may be the catalyst.

Punjab Kings usual win-loss pattern was back after defeat in Bengaluru. Their stop-start batting innings followed by poor death bowling hurt them dearly, but they now have the chance to test a Lucknow side trying to find its feet.

Last season, the Lucknow pitch was the most difficult to bat on in the league. According to ESPNcricinfo, a red-soil surface is expected, which could provide more pace and bounce than was the case in 2023.

IPL 2024 11th Match: LSG vs PBKS Possible Playing XIs

Lucknow Super Giants: 1. Quinton de Kock (wk, OS), 2. KL Rahul (c), 3. Devdutt Padikkal, 4. Ayush Badoni, 5. Deepak Hooda, 6. Nicholas Pooran (OS), 7 Marcus Stoinis (OS), 8. Krunal Pandya, 9. Ravi Bishnoi, 10. Mohsin Khan, 11. Naveen-ul-Haq (OS), 12. Yash Thakur

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Ayush Badoni/Yash Thakur

Punjab Kings: 1. Shikhar Dhawan (c), 2. Jonny Bairstow (OS), 3. Prabhsimran Singh, 4. Liam Livingstone (OS), 5. Sam Curran (OS), 6. Jitesh Sharma (wk), 7. Shashank Singh, 8. Harpreet Brar, 9. Harshal Patel, 10. Kagiso Rabada (OS), 11. Rahul Chahar, 12. Arshdeep Singh

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Prabhsimran Singh/Arshdeep Singh

Fantasy Cricket Tips for 11th Match of IPL 2024: Key Players to Watch/Key Picks for LSG vs PBKS

Lucknow Super Giants:

  • KL Rahul is key. He has scored 202 runs in eight career games against PBKS at an average of 33.67 and strike rate of 136.49.
  • Quinton de Kock is in search of his best form. He has an excellent career record against Kagiso Rabada: 68 balls, 100 runs, one dismissal.
  • Since the start of 2023, Nicholas Pooran has smashed 422 runs in the IPL at an average of 38.4 and strike rate of 170.2. The strike rate bumps up to 191.5 when chasing (average of 37.7).
  • Marcus Stoinis smashed 72 (40) against PBKS last season. In fact, Stoinis has a great career record against the Punjab Kings: 8 inns, 251 runs, avg. 50.20, SR 168.46.
  • Naveen-ul-Haq took 3/30 in the last meeting against Punjab Kings. Ravi Bishnoi has overall figures of 1/25 off 18 balls against Liam Livingstone and 1/9 in five balls against Sam Curran in T20s.

Punjab Kings:

  • Shikhar Dhawan’s strike rate is under the spotlight. But, he is a consistent run-scorer and is often a safe pick in fantasy teams. He averages 40 with a strike rate of 140.1 since the start of IPL 2023 (440 runs).
  • Sam Curran has made a promising start to IPL 2024 with the bat (86 runs, SR 134.47). Last season, he hit 21 off 11 against LSG but came in at number six. His impact up the order will be interesting to see.
  • Liam Livingstone is striking at 161.76 so far in IPL 2024. LSG struggled to maintain RR’s scoring during the middle overs last week.
  • Arshdeep Singh has good head-to-head numbers against KL Rahul: 18 balls, 17 runs, 1 dismissal. Singh has also dismissed Quinton de Kock twice for 27 runs in 27 balls in T20s.
  • The battle between KL Rahul and Kagiso Rabada will be a fascinating one. Rahul has scored 50 off 36 balls, but has been dismissed three times.
  • Rabada has taken eight wickets in three games against LSG at an average of 15.50 and economy of 10.33.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 3, LSG 2, PBKS 1.
  • Quinton de Kock against Harshal Patel: 53 balls, 72 runs, no dismissal.
  • Nicholas Pooran against Harshal Patel: 41 balls, 70 runs, one dismissal.
  • Arshdeep Singh vs Devdutt Padikkal: 31 balls, 49 runs, three dismissals.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium Lucknow Pitch Report and Weather

Last season, the scoring rate was just 6.93 runs per over on this ground; the lowest of any of the ten venues that hosted at least five matches. However, the red soil will make for an interesting pitch as last year saw the black soil used.

Mostly clear weather is forecast with temperatures hovering in the late 20s.

RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 10th Match

RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 10th Match | RCB vs KKR Dream11 Prediction Today | Bengaluru Pitch Report

With all the fireworks in IPL 2024 over recent days, here is another opportunity for more. Two teams with powerful batting lineups do battle at the batting-friendly M Chinnaswamy Stadium where anything is possible.

Royal Challengers Bangalore are coming off a morale-boosting victory against Punjab Kings. Virat Kohli was excellent, while the finishing from Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror is cause for optimism. A win here helps build momentum as the tournament goes into its second week.

Kolkata Knight Riders have beaten RCB in four of their past five meetings. The finishing against Sunrisers Hyderabad was magnificent, but there is room for improvement when it comes to their death-bowling. There is arguably no tougher ground to put those skills to the test.

IPL 2024 10th Match: RCB vs KKR Possible Playing XIs

RCB shifted their batting order around against PBKS with Cameron Green batting at three, Rajat Patidar at four and Glenn Maxwell at five. It will be interesting to see if they resort back to their traditional positions.

Royal Challengers Bangalore: 1. Virat Kohli, 2. Faf du Plessis (OS, c), 3. Rajat Patidar, 4. Glenn Maxwell (OS), 5. Cameron Green (OS), 6. Anuj Rawat (wk), 7. Dinesh Karthik, 8. Alzarri Joseph (OS), 9. Mayank Dagar, 10. Mohammed Siraj, 11. Yash Dayal, 12. Mahipal Lomror

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Mahipal Lomror/Yash Dayal

KKR will want more from their top order after losing quick wickets against SRH.

Kolkata Knight Riders: 1. Phil Salt (OS, wk), 2. Sunil Narine (OS), 3. Venkatesh Iyer, 4. Shreyas Iyer (c), 5. Nitish Rana, 6. Rinku Singh, 7. Andre Russell (OS), 8. Ramandeep Singh, 9. Mitchell Starc (OS), 10. Harshit Rana, 11. Varun Chakravarthy, 12. Suyash Sharma

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Suyash Sharma/Ramandeep Singh

  • Maxwell has scored 66 runs off 41 balls against Andre Russell in T20s (no dismissal).
  • Mohammed Siraj has dismissed Shreyas Iyer twice for 32 runs in 31 balls in the IPL. He also has a good record against Andre Russell: 19 balls, 22 runs, two dismissals.

  • In eight matches at the M Chinnaswamy, Russell has hammered 167 runs at a strike rate of 231.94.

RR vs DC Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 9th Match

RR vs DC Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 9th Match | RR vs DC Dream11 Prediction Today | Jaipur Pitch Report

The ninth match of IPL 2024 sees Rajasthan Royals take on the Delhi Capitals. After finishing second last in 2023, the Capitals started 2024 with a disappointing defeat to Punjab Kings, with Abhishek Porel’s late blitz as the impact player saving their blushes on a good batting surface in Mullanpur.

DC need to go to another level to beat the Royals. Sanju Samson led the way as they beat LSG over the weekend, with their bowlers in the groove for most of the innings as well. However, consistency was the issue for RR last season, so they’ll be looking for back-to-back wins to have a firm hold on an early top four spot.

IPL 2024 9th Match: RR vs DC Possible Playing XIs

The Royals could look to stick with the same team that beat LSG.

Rajasthan Royals: 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2. Jos Buttler (OS), 3. Sanju Samson (c & wk), 4. Riyan Parag, 5. Shimron Hetmyer (OS), 6. Dhruv Jurel, 7. Ravichandran Ashwin, 8. Sandeep Sharma, 9. Yuzvendra Chahal, 10, Avesh Khan, 11. Trent Boult (OS), 12. Nandre Burger (OS)

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Shimron Hetmyer/Nandre Burger

DC left Prithvi Shaw out and played an all-overseas top three against PBKS. If they wish to implement the same strategy, they could play Jake Fraser-McGurk alongside David Warner.

Ishant Sharma picked up an injury in the opening game.

Delhi Capitals: 1. David Warner (OS), 2. Jake Fraser-McGurk/Shai Hope (OS), 3. Mitchell Marsh (OS), 4. Rishabh Pant (c & wk), 5. Ricky Bhui, 6. Tristan Stubbs (OS), 7. Axar Patel, 8. Sumit Kumar, 9. Mukesh Kumar, 10. Kuldeep Yadav, 11. Khaleel Ahmed, 12. Praveen Dubey

Possible Impact Player Substitute: Ricky Bhui/Praveen Dubey

Fantasy Cricket Tips for the 9th Match of IPL 2024: Key Players to Watch/Key Picks for RR vs DC

Rajasthan Royals:

  • Since the start of 2018, Jos Buttler has scored 335 runs in eight innings against DC at an average of 41.88 and strike rate of 171.79.
  • Buttler enjoys playing at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. He has struck 615 runs at an average of 43.93 and strike rate of 139.46.
  • Yashasvi Jaiswal has smashed 385 runs at a strike rate of 176.6 in the powerplay in the IPL since 2023.
  • Jaiswal has belted 25 runs off nine balls without dismissal against Khaleel Ahmed. He has also hit 25 off 14 against Axar Patel without dismissal.
  • Sanju Samson struck an excellent 82* off 52 balls in the last match. Can he back it up with another big effort?
  • Samson has scored 286 runs at an average of 23.83 and strike rate of 136.19 against the Capitals. He has smashed 56 off 28 against Khaleel Ahmed (no wicket).
  • Riyan Parag made an impression at number four. In last season’s SMAT competition, Parag hammered 510 runs at an average of 85.00 and strike rate of 182.79.
  • Yuzvendra Chahal has taken 20 wickets in 18 career matches against DC.
  • Trent Boult has kept David Warner very quiet in T20s: 82 balls, 77 runs, three dismissals.

Delhi Capitals:

  • Getting through the powerplay will be key for David Warner. If he does, he will take on Yuzvendra Chahal (IPL head-to-head record: 94 balls, 155 runs, 2 dismissals) and R Ashwin (IPL head-to-head record: 121 balls, 145 runs, 3 dismissals).
  • Rishabh Pant has struck 115 runs at a strike rate of 171.64 in three matches at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
  • Mitchell Marsh in T20s in 2024: 6 inns, 180 runs, avg. 36.00, SR 156.52.
  • Since the start of IPL 2023, Axar Patel has hit 304 runs at an average of 27.6 and strike rate of 140.7.
  • With the ball, Axar has taken just four wickets in eight matches against the Royals since 2019. But, he can keep Sanju Samson quiet as he has dismissed him twice in 60 balls for 67 runs.
  • Kuldeep Yadav is crucial to the Capitals’ chances on a pitch that had some assistance for the spinners in the last match. Sanju Samson strikes at 121.9 against him in T20s (32 balls, 39 runs, one wicket).

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 27, RR 14, DC 13.
  • Royals lead the Capitals 4-2 in meetings at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
  • Jos Buttler has scored 48 runs in 32 balls against Khaleel Ahmed in T20s (one dismissal). Buttler also has a fine record against Kuldeep Yadav in the IPL: 48 balls, 74 runs, one dismissal.
  • Prithvi Shaw averages 18.33 in nine meetings against the Royals.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium Jaipur Pitch Report and Weather

The Jaipur surface for the RR-LSG match on Sunday had some grip for the spinners and seamers who used the cutter well. Sandeep Sharma was particularly brilliant.

The pitch could play similarly here, but this match is under lights. So, the ball could skid on even better for the batters.

The average first innings score in five matches in IPL 2023 was 171.8. The team batting first won three of the games. A hot and humid evening is forecast.
