The Rajasthan Royals will take on the Delhi Capitals at home on April 22nd at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Both the sides are coming off convincing wins over the Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab respectively. Delhi have been very resurgent this season and have been in the top half of the table, besides winning the crunch games this season.
RR, meanwhile, need to win each and every game they play in order to make it to the playoffs comfortably and their strong home form is something which they need to extend towards the end of the tournament. Though this match is a bit low-key when compared to the matches between the popular teams, this is a crucial game for both the sides involved and a lot of action can be expected.
With match-winners on both the sides, the match is expected to be a cracker of a contest though it's likely to be a low-scoring one. On that note, let's take a look at who will be the Fantasy X-Factor for this match:
The Delhi Capitals' top order is dominated by Indian batsmen and they have blown hot and cold this season. However, Shikhar Dhawan seems to be coming good and has performed well off late. Their prized keeper, Rishabh Pant, the Fantasy X-Factor for this match, however, hasn't been up to the mark and is due for a big one in this game.
Pant has succumbed to pressure he has mounted on himself and has played a lot of false shots. Post his snub in India's World Cup squad, Pant has looked a bit jaded and he is expected to shake it off his mind and dominate the RR spinners on a slow track. He has multiple opportunities for dismissals behind the stumps and is a solid fantasy option.
Shreyas Iyer, Kagiso Rabada, Steve Smith and Sanju Samson are good fantasy picks as well.
