Samson fifty goes in vain as Delhi Capital beats Rajasthan Royals

The Capitals bowling unit restricted the Royals to 121 for six after the team put on board 154 for six on the back of Shreyas Iyer’s played a good knock of 43 which also give him the man of the match ,late finish provided by Shimron Hetmyer, who scored 28 runs off 16 balls.

Rajasthan skipper Sanju Samson looked in sublime touch, scoring an unbeaten 70, but with wickets tumbling at regular intervals from the other end, the Royals innings failed to get the momentum it needed.
South African pacer Anrich Nortje (2/18) led the Delhi bowlers who performed as a cohesive unit. Avesh Khan (1/29), Kagiso Rabada (1/26), Axar Patel (1/27), Ravichandran Ashwin (1/20) snapped a wicket each.
With the win the Capitals returned to the top of the table while the Royals moved down to the sixth spot.
Defending a modest total, pacers Khan and Nortje provided the electric start that the Capitals needed, sending back both openers — Liam Livingstone (1) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (5) in the first two overs, which brings back the capital into the game. Other than Samson only Lomror crossed double digit marks.

A hiccup in Abu Dhabi but at least we had Sanju among the runs! 🤞#DCvRR | #HallaBol | #RoyalsFamily | @expo2020dubai pic.twitter.com/npFYLVPYqG
