Rajasthan Royals will host Delhi Capitals on Saturday in Guwahati.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Delhi Capitals (DC) are gearing up for their clash in Match 11 of IPL 2023 on Saturday (April 8) in Guwahati. This will be the second and last 'home' match for the Royals at the venue, after hosting Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Wednesday. Both teams have played two games each, with RR winning one while DC lost both.
RR have a major injury worry ahead of tomorrow's clash, as opener Jos Buttler is a doubtful starter after receiving stitches following an injury to his finger while taking a catch in the PBKS game. He did not come out to open but batted at 3, scoring 19 in 11 balls with some discomfort.
As per Cricbuzz, Buttler's availability for the game will be decided after the medical staff submits its report. If Buttler is ruled out, RR will have to decide between Joe Root and Donovan Ferreira as his replacement.
On the other hand, Delhi Capitals will definitely not have the services of all-rounder Mitchell Marsh, as he is flying back to Australia for his wedding and will be away for a week.
Rovman Powell seems to be the most likely replacement for Marsh in the DC XI, unless they decide to beef up the bowling and pick Mustafizur Rahman or Lungi Ngidi to partner Anrich Nortje.
The David Warner-led side have had an ordinary start to the tournament, and another defeat tomorrow could well push them way too back to be in contention for the playoffs.
