Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, 56th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Series: Indian Premier League 2024 Venue: Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Date & Time: May 07, 07:30 PM LOCAL
DC 221/8 (20)
RR 201/8 (20)
Delhi Capitals won by 20 runs
PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Kuldeep Yadav

TRAFFIC-JAM ALERT: The mid-table is jammed with 4 teams stuck on 12 points. CSK SRH DC LSG - exactly in that order. A great chance awaits tomorrow in Hyderabad as SRH lock horns with the sixth-placed LSG. The winner will go to the third spot and the loser might get a tad bit closer to the start of the exit gate. The playoff race is getting exciting with each passing day folks. Do remember to tune in for all the thrills and spills. Uppal tomorrow and Dharamsala the day after. Until then, it's a goodbye from Raju Peethala, Ramakrishnan MS, Abhinav Guha and Praveen Kumar. Cheers!!

Last game RR fell one short of the target, and today they were 20 short. Both 200-plus chases and they'd hope to get that (chasing totals) monkey off the back when they face a hungry CSK unit on Sunday. As for the Capitals, this is their 5th win in their last 7 games and one that will taste sweeter after a 7-wicket loss in their previous game. They will be up against RCB next in Bengaluru on Sunday.

Kuldeep Yadav | Player of the Match: It is very important to bowl on a good length and that's the main challenge when I bowl in the death overs. I have played against him (Ferreira) in South Africa and I knew he was a back foot player and wanted to stay a little full and quick and got him out first ball. I bowled a couple of seam-up deliveries to read what the batters are doing. Just the length matters for me and that was the plan. Whenever we score 200-plus obviously lot of pressure on the bowler and it is also an opportunity to take wickets and I was trying to back my strengths and keep believing.

Rishabh Pant | DC skipper: The way our bowlers executed at the back end was the main positive and it was really good to see. We will try to learn from every game. Even when we lose or win, we will keep our head down and keep moving forward. As always Kuldeep delivered which was great to see. It was close to par and at the same time we were thinking that if we can restrict them to 200 that would be fair and that was the thought process.

Mukesh Kumar: Just wanted to bowl two dots (on his plans for the final over) and whatever happens after that, I was fine with it. I like backing my strengths but I bowled according to the wicket and had to use my variations. (On the 18th over bowled by Kuldeep) Yes, it was the turning point of the match. 200-210 was par, but we got those extra runs because of the start we got.

Sanju Samson | RR skipper: I think we had it in our hands, it was like 11-12 runs per over, it was achievable, but these things happen in IPL. Yes, we are doing both the things fine, we will like to stick to what the conditions demand, 220 was 10 runs extra to chase, if we had conceded a couple of less boundaries, we would have made it through. The DC opener (Fraser McGurk) came out and did what he has done through the tournament, we still came back well. We have lost three games but all those games have been really tight, we have been playing remarkably well, we have to do some fine-tuning and make a comeback, we need to keep the momentum going. Yes and No actually, you have to give credit to someone like Stubbs who batted well against Sandeep, who has been bowling very well in the last 10-11 games, he scored 2-3 sixes extra against my best bowlers who are Yuzi Chahal and Sandeep Sharma. We have lost the game, we have to find out where we lost the game and we need to keep moving.

23:26 local, 17:56 GMT: DC scored 53 off the last 3 overs and RR managed only 20 runs. For the second time in a row, RR failed to chase a target and remain unmoved in the points table. Despite losing both openers inside the powerplay, the Royals managed to stay within range of the required rate and appeared firm favourites to accomplish the chase. The wickets of Samson and Dubey in quick span, however, turned the game on its head as the rest of the batters succumbed to the required rate pressure. Kuldeep, too, deserves a special mention as he bowled a game-changing 18th over that saw him pick 2 wickets for just 4 runs. All in all, a much-needed win for DC to boost their campaign, and the Royals will be worried about their second straight loss besides the woes surrounding their slog-overs bowling, Stick around for the post-match reactions...
