DD vs RPS IPL 2016 Match Preview :-
This is the first season of Indian Premier League for the Rising Pune Supergiants who get chance in the tournament due to suspension of Chennai Superkings and Rajasthan Royals. IPL 9 is not happening good for the team as almost all big overseas players of their teama are returned back to their countries due to injuries. Steven Smith, Faf Du Plessis, Kevin Pietersen, and Mitchell Marsh are the players which are now out of the IPL 2016. RPS franchise signed Usman Khawaja and George Bailey as the replacement and hopefully both the players will be available for the today’s match Delhi Daredevils vs Rising Pune Supergiants.
We have seen that RPS team is struggling with ball as well as with the bat too. One of the successful spin bowler of T20 cricket R Ashwin is not looking impressive and unable to provide break through to the team. Now Mitchel Marsh is also not there. So the bowling department is weak and hopefully Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni will find the solution for this. If we look at the batting, all the powerful hitters are out of the tournament. If Australian batsman Khawaja and Bailey plays in today’s match then it will definitely strengthens the batting unit. Dhoni also have to step in and a good innings from him provide the confidence into the other players too. Due to so many injuries happening to the team, RPS is now looking very low energize But we know the captain, he can do anything. So lets see how the Pune team will perform in today’s match.
Delhi Daredevils started the tournament with a lose and every body is saying that this year too Delhi will lag behind but the captain Zaheer Khan proved every body wrong by winning 5 matches out of 7. All credit goes to Mentor Rahul Dravid and Captain Zaheer. They pulled out maximum from the player. Shows confidence in the youngster which are now scoring runs for the team. Rishabh Pant who scored fifty in the last match against Gujarat Lions in just 25 balls showed how good players are trained and their confidence level. Quinton de Kock is the first batsman of IPL 2016 who scored century and going good in the tournament. The bowling unit is also looking impressive. Zaheer Khan, Chris Morris, Carlos Brathwaite and Amit Mishra are consistent with the ball. So the unit is balanced and in the form. So it will be tough fight for the Rising Pune Supergiants against Delhi Daredevils.
Match Prediction Who will Win :-
We all know cricket can’t be Predicted and in T20 single ball can decide the result of the match. But if we look onto the previous performance of both the teams and the squad of both the teams available for the DD vs RPS match of IPL 2016 then Delhi Daredevils may win the match. We all known Dhoni is known for the miracle and in today’s match too he can shocked every body by defeating DD tonight.
