A relatively better over for Delhi. 2 boundaries off the over. 5 overs done, score - 33/2

Shreyas Iyer's men are placed at the second spot on the Dream11 IPL 2020 points table with five wins and two losses.

According to the Delhi vs Rajasthan pitch report, the Dubai wicket has massively favoured the team batting first in the Dream11 IPL 2020. Out of the thirteen matches played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the teams batting first have won on nine occasions while two games ended in a tie. The team chasing at this venue have won only two matches. Batsmen should play a few balls and settle at the crease before deciding to shift gears.

The average first-innings score at this venue in the Dream11 IPL 2020 has been over 170. The team bowling first should look to use the new ball effectively as there is swing initially. As the game progresses, spinners will come into action. As per the Delhi vs Rajasthan pitch report, the side winning the toss should look to bat first and post a big total on the surface as teams chasing have found it tough to get going at this venue.
