Pitch Report

It's one of the slowest and trickiest surfaces in India. The par score is somewhere around 165-170. Teams usually prefer to bowl more overs of spin and bowlers with the use of cutters are quite effective. Batting in 2nd innings was an impossible task in the 2021 leg.  

Probable Playing XIs for Rario D3 Predictions

CHENNAI- Devon Conway, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Moeen Ali, Shivam Dube, Ambati Rayudu, Ben Stokes, Ravindra Jadeja, Dwaine Pretorius, MS Dhoni, Deepak Chahar, Rajvardhan Hangargekar. 

Lucknow (12)- KL Rahul (c), Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Ayush Badoni, Krishnappa Gowtham, Jaydev Unadkat, Mark Wood, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi.

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions 

Batter 1 & 2- Ruturaj Gaikwad and KL Rahul

A top-order batter should be your blind pick in D3. Ruturaj Gaikwad is coming off an incredible home season in VHT and SMAT scoring 660 runs at 113 SR and 295 runs at 146 SR respectively. He did not have a great season last year but was the orange cap winner in the season before. He displayed a scintillating act of batting in the 1st game with 92 runs. 

KL is one of the safest picks in the entire league when it comes to picking top-order batters who are consistent. KL Rahul has managed to pile up 500+ runs 5 times in a row now since 2018. No one has scored more runs, or more 50s than him since.

Bowler 1 & 2- Ravi Bishnoi and Moeen Ali 

We are spoilt for choices regarding Lucknow’s bowling attack in  D3. Mark Wood breathed fire dismantling Delhi but it would be a wise option to bank on Bishnoi given the nature of the surface the match is going to be played on. He was one of the 3 signings of LSG before the auctions. He picked 13 wkts last season but had good outings for India till Asia Cup and returned with match figures of 31/2 in the 1st game. 

Given Mayers and Pooran in the opposite camp it would be safe to have Moeen Ali in the ranks. CSK will take out 2 overs from in the Powerplay. 

Last 2 picks- Devon Conway and Marcus Stoinis

Stoinis is a great utility cricketer to have in your own ranks. He can bowl in PP as well as in end-overs. His cutters will be effective on the venue. Moreover, he is a hard-hitting batter in the lower middle order. Huge potential to earn u plenty of points. 

CSK’s batting looked listless apart from Ruturaj in the opening game. Their next best bet is Devon Conway who is not only a top-order batter but had run under his belt for NZ during their home season. Ravindra Jadeja could be a great pick as well but he bats lower down the order.  

Otherwise, he should be a no-brainer in D3. 

Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions

Chennai playing in its den has its aura. But the way Lucknow announced themselves in the opening encounters it's going to be an uphill task to keep their batting quiet. CSK doesn’t have an enforcer like Wood. Lucknow should up their tally to 4 points.

Pitch Report

It is a high-scoring ground with short boundaries. The pitch behaves indifferently sometimes with spinners coming into the play otherwise it's a batting paradise. There were high-scoring games in the 2021 leg with the famous game between MI and CSK and Buttler racking up his 1st ever t20 100

Probable Playing XIs for Rario D3 Predictions

Delhi Capitals- David Warner (c), Prithvi Shaw, Mitchell Marsh, Rilee Russouw Sarfaraz Khan (wk), Rovman Powell, Axar Patel, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Chetan Sakariya, Khaleel Ahmed

GUJARAT TITANS- Shubman Gill, Wriddhiman Saha, Abhinav Manohar/ Odeon Smith (Impact player),  Hardik Pandya, Vijay Shankar, Matthew Wade, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Shivam Mavi, Mohammed Shami, Alzarri Joseph

Dependable Picks for Rario D3 Predictions 

Batter 1 & 2- David Warner and (OG batter 1)

Again going by the thumb rule, a top order batter should be your blind pick in D3

OG batter 1 has been piling up runs in all 3 formats at the international level for the past 8 months and has scored 7 100s. He also improved his t20 game and registered his 1st t20i 100 on the same venue against New Zealand not so long ago. He started his campaign with a magnificent 64 against CSK with some exquisite shots. 

Warner on the other hand holds the record of scoring 400+ runs in a season 7 consecutive times. Overall he has scored 8 times and last year he managed 450+ runs at an SR of 150+. The only issue is he has played only one ODI since his comeback from injury in February and that was evident in the 1st game as he scored run a ball 50. 

Bowler 1 & 2- Axar Patel and Rashid Khan 

Rashid Khan should be your automatic choice and probably the 1st pick in D3. He is arguably the greatest t20 bowler with more than 500 wickets. He is the only bowler to take 15+ wkts in 7 consecutive seasons. Moreover, he adds immense value to the bat. He once again proved his mettle with the bat by scoring crucial boundaries. 

Axar has the best economy for a left-arm spinner in IPL. He has taken his batting a few levels above in the past 2 years. These all-round abilities make him a top pick from Delhi’s team. 

Last 2 picks- Mitchell Marsh and Alzarri Joseph

This Aussie all-rounder is a must-pick in your  D3.  Marsh was seen in some unreal form against India in the ODI series where he scored almost 200 runs at an SR of 110+. The way he was launching the ball in the stands was a sheer display of power and timing. He played a lion's share in Aus winning the 2021 WT20 and scoring 347 runs at an SR of 142 in BBL 2022-23.

Alzarri Joseph who just coming off an amazing tour of SA where he was the highest wicket-taker in all 3 formats. Interesting pick in D3. Or we should opt for the safer route in Rahul Tewatia? Tewatia closed out so many games last year with the bat and was the mainstay of their middle order along with Miller.


Match Predictions for Rario D3 predictions

GT looks well organized but Delhi has an explosive lineup. It will all bottle down to how DC batters play out Rashid. They should take 2 points home from this game.
