Welcome to Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur for Match no. 9 between Rajasthan Royals & Delhi Capitals. The Rajasthan Royals checked off most of their boxes in their Indian Premier League opening against the Lucknow Super Giants last Saturday, but the same cannot be said for the Delhi Capitals. The Capitals appeared rusty against the Punjab Kings, losing their first road game to the 2014 runners-up. Rishabh Pant will again be the center of attention as DC prepares for their second away encounters. Despite not playing at his most fluid, the wicketkeeper looked assured during his 18 off 13 balls of batting, which is to be expected considering his lengthy rest before the competition.
Yet another home team winning the game the streak continues as the Royals beat the Capitals by 12 runs. The Delhi capitals started pretty well in the chase, maintained the run rate till the 10.0 over but drifted apart in the middle after Rishab Pant got out. The chase looked difficult, but South African batter Tristan Stubbs, small cameo at the end gave some hope to DC, but couldn't take them across the finishing line. Riyan Parag's outstanding innings played a pivotal role in setting the total on such a slow pitch. A good game of cricket from both the side, as we now move to Bengaluru, for some exciting action coming our way tomorrow as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru lock horns with their archrivals Kolkata Knight Riders in Match no.10 of TATA IPL 2024.
Avesh Khan holds his nerves and concedes only 4 runs in the final over! 👏
Two in two for the @rajasthanroyals, who clinch a 12-run win in Jaipur! 💗
