Cricket Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024
Posted 11 days agoDelhi Capitals bounced back with a solid 20-run win against Rajasthan Royals, keeping their hopes for an IPL playoff spot alive.
Tristan Stubbs played a blazing innings of 41 runs from just 20 balls, helping Delhi Capitals reach a total of 221/8 after Rajasthan Royals chose to field first.
Rajasthan Royals could only manage 201/8 in response, with Kuldeep Yadav standing out for Delhi Capitals by taking 2 wickets for 25 runs.
Khaleel Ahmed and Mukesh Kumar also contributed well with 2 wickets each, finishing with figures of 2/47 and 2/30, respectively.
Delhi has now joined Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, and Lucknow Super Giants, all sitting at 12 points each, in a tight race for the playoffs in the middle of the table.
Rajasthan's captain, Sanju Samson, took charge of the chase with his fifth half-century of the season.
However, his impressive innings of 86 runs off 46 balls (including 8 fours and 6 sixes) ended controversially when Shai Hope claimed a catch near the long-on boundary.
