Key match factors – DC vs RR

• The pitch in Delhi has been a belter. Teams should opt to field first as the track would not change much.
• Riyan Parag has been in sensational form and DC need to find a way to restrict him from scoring runs.
• RR should be wary of Jake Fraser-McGurk, who is one of the contenders to win the Emerging Player of the IPL award.
• R Ashwin has come under fire for not being effective enough. He needs to step up for RR to dominate DC.
