RR vs DC Match Summary
It was the second match of Delhi Capitals and again it was an away match. Rishabh Pant won the toss and opted to bowl first. Khaleel and Mukesh got an excellent start as they dismissed Jaiswal and skipper Samson early with getting support from Kuldeep Yadav who dismissed Jos Buttler and all three main wickets under 36 runs was a good win for them in the first 10 overs.
The disciplined bowling from Capitals allowed only 93 runs after the end of 14 overs but things were about to change as Riyan Parag had enough time on the pitch and was all set for the launch. Parag got helping hands from Dhruv Jurel and Shimron Hetmyer in the last 6 overs where Royals amassed 92 runs. Riyal Parag punished Nortje in the last over with 25 runs and ended on his personal best of 84 runs leading his team to put 185 runs on the board.
Delhi Capitals got a lucky and flying kind of start with Mitch Marsh and David Warner raining the boundaries. Nandre Burger got two back to back wickets in his second over which somewhat dropped the scoring rate of Delhi Capitals. However, boundaries in regular intervals by Rishabh and Warner didn’t allow Rajasthan to put pressure but wickets of David Warner (49) and Rishabh Pant (28) put Rajasthan in the driving seat.
Tristan Stubbs and Axar Patel were the last hope for Capitals as they needed 66 runs off the last five overs. Stubbs smacked all that were thrown at him and Axar was cheeky and they got to make 17 runs off the last over. They gave it all but excellent bowling by Avesh in the final over didn’t do any wrong and RR won the match by 12 runs.
