Three match-winners for Delhi Capitals

Rishabh Pant

The DC skipper has been in good form throughout the tournament. He has scored 398 runs in 11 innings in IPL 2024 at an average of 44.22 and a strike rate of 158.56. While this suggests that Pant is in excellent form and might carry his momentum into the game, his numbers against the Royals solidify this belief. 

Pant has played ten innings against the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL and has scored 385 runs at an average of 64.20 while maintaining a strike rate of 163.10. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Pant has scored 122 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 182.10 against the Royals. These numbers establish Pant as a potential threat for the Royals. 

Jake Fraser-McGurk

The 22-year-old Australian batter has been in brilliant form in the tournament. Jake Fraser-McGurk has provided dynamic starts for the team, leading them to formidable totals. In this tournament, McGurk has scored 259 runs in six innings at an average of 43.16 while maintaining a strike rate of 233.33. His scoring rate makes this Australian batter a prime match-winner for the Capitals. 

Tristan Stubbs

The South African middle-order batter has made the most of the opportunities that he has had in IPL 2024. Tristan Stubbs has scored 277 runs in 11 innings at an average of 55.40 while maintaining a strike rate of 185.90. Besides his brilliant form in the tournament, Stubbs has also done a great job against the Royals in the previous game. Stubbs scored 44 runs off 23 balls in the last match. The form and the numbers speak in favour of Stubbs being a match-winner for DC in this game.
