Delhi Capitals (DC) will take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 56 of the 17th edition of the IPL 2024 on Tuesday, May 7, at the Arun Jaitley Cricket Stadium, in Delhi. In the ongoing tournament, Capitals have won five matches and lost six matches. They are currently placed sixth in the points table.
Thus, the Rishabh-Pant-led side would like to get back to their winning momentum. On the other hand, Royals have started the season with a bang as they have been victorious in eight matches and have ended up on the losing side in just two games. At this moment, they are in the top place in the points table. Hence, the visitors of the upcoming fixture would also like to get back to their winning momentum.
Speaking about the last game of Delhi Capitals, they had a poor outing with the bat and managed to score only 153. Kuldeep Yadav 35*(26) who played well helped them to escape from getting all out for a very low score. Speaking about the bowlers, Axar Patel (4-0-25-2) bowled beautifully which helped Capitals to drag the game till the 17th over. But there were not enough runs on the board for DC to apply pressure and defend the score.
As a result, they lost the previous match against Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets. Capitals will be hoping all these will continue their good form and good support from other batters, especially top-order batters and also good support from other bowlers as well. Speaking about the last game of Rajasthan Royals, after the early collapse in the Top order, Riyan Parag 77(49) and Yashasvi Jaiswal 67(40) played magnificent Innings which kept Rajasthan in the game till the final ball. These two stitched a fantastic partnership of 134 off just 76 deliveries where RR were dominating the game.
But Royals lost these two at the wrong time as a result they lost the match by 1 run in the last ball against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the previous match. They also didn't get support from other batters. Among bowlers, Sandeep Sharma (4-0-31-1) bowled beautifully in all phases of the game and continued his great form in the ongoing tournament which helped Royals to restrict SRH to 201. But he didn't get support from other bowlers. The Royals will hope all these players continue their good form and also get good support from other batters and also good support from other bowlers as well.
