DCvsRR:Delhi Capitals score 154 against Royals

Delhi Capitals post 154/6 in 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals. RR need 155 to win. Axar Patel and Shimron Hetmyer gave some hopes in the death overs, but both were dismissed after hitting a few boundaries. Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant’s partnership was crucial to DC’s cause especially after Rajasthan Royals pacers Chetan Sakariya and Kartik Tyagi dismissed Delhi Capitals openers Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan quickly. But both could not go on to play longer innings. RR captain Sanju Samson won the toss against Rishabh Pant’s DC and elected to bowl in Abu Dhabi.
Delhi Capitals will be looking to return to the top of the points table with a win against the Rajasthan Royals, who have themselves got themselves off to a flier in the UAE leg of the IPL 2021 season courtesy a brilliant last over by Kartik Tyagi. DC are currently locked in a battle for top spot with CSK, with both teams having 14 points from 9 matches. RR can get into the fourth playoff spot if they can repeat their heroics from their last match.
In IPL 2020, DC lost three of their five games in Abu Dhabi, where the wicket is relatively slower. While the likes of Anrich Nortje and Kagiso Rabada will continue to be crucial for them, they might be relying more on the likes of Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel for today’s match. The Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium is the biggest cricket ground in the UAE.
