The Rajasthan Royals celebrated a thrilling second win in the TATA IPL 2024, defeating the Delhi Capitals in a nail-biting match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Riyan Parag’s explosive 84* off 45 balls fueled the Rajasthan Royals’ victory, powering them to an impressive 185/5. Despite David Warner’s valiant efforts for Delhi, the Royals’ bowlers held their nerve, securing a 12-run win.
The Rajasthan Royals found themselves in early trouble at 36/3, but Parag’s brilliant innings, coupled with Impact Player Nandre Burger’s double-wicket over (2/29), turned the tide of the match.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s tight bowling (2/19) strangled the Delhi Capitals’ middle order, while Avesh Khan sealed the Rajasthan Royals’ victory with an outstanding final over.
Delhi Capitals started fiercely, but Warner and Pant’s crucial partnership was broken by a spectacular catch from Sandeep Sharma. The Rajasthan Royals’ strategic use of their Impact Player kept the pressure on Delhi.
Stubbs’ late-innings heroics (44 off 23) proved insufficient as the Royals bowlers, particularly Khan, stifled the Capitals’ chase.
