Join UsIn today’s IPL 2024 encounter between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson notched up his fifth half-century of the season as RR pursued a target of 222 after losing three wickets.
Rajasthan Royals currently hold the second position in the points table, having secured eight wins out of 10 matches. In contrast, Delhi Capitals find themselves in the sixth position after suffering six losses in 11 fixtures.
During the innings, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abhishek Porel played significant roles for the Delhi Capitals, contributing with half-centuries as the team posted a formidable total of 221/8 in their allotted 20 overs against the Rajasthan Royals. Ravichandran Ashwin emerged as the standout bowler for RR, claiming three wickets in his four-over spell. Additionally, Yuzvendra Chahal reached a milestone by becoming the first Indian cricketer to take 350 T20 wickets, dismissing Rishabh Pant.
Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson won the toss and elected to field first at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
While Delhi Capitals have shown signs of improvement in recent games after a slow start to the season, their setback against KKR has hindered their progress. Despite winning five matches, the team has yet to deliver consistent performances with both bat and ball. A defeat in today’s match could significantly impact their chances of qualifying for the playoffs.
On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals have already positioned themselves strongly for a playoff berth. With a well-balanced squad, different players have stepped up at various stages of the tournament to secure crucial victories. However, following their recent loss to SRH, they will aim to bounce back and maintain their momentum heading into the playoffs.
