May 11, 2022:
In a dominant performance, the Delhi Capitals secured a solid 8-wicket victory over the Rajasthan Royals in their encounter on May 11, 2022, at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. This win was a sweet redemption after a tough loss on 28 April earlier in the season.
Openers Srikar Bharat's dismissal in the first over set DC back slightly. However, a solid partnership between Mitchell Marsh and David Warner turned the tide. Marsh, in particular, shone with a brilliant 89, including seven massive sixes. Warner played a supporting role before reaching his own well-deserved fifty. The pair stitched together a match-winning 100-run stand for the second wicket, putting DC firmly in control. With a target of 161 to chase, DC comfortably secured the win with 11 balls to spare.
In the first innings, Rajasthan Royals, after winning the toss and electing to bat, could only manage 160 runs on the board. While Ravichandran Ashwin's well-crafted half-century (50) was the highlight of their innings, the rest of the batting order faltered. Sanju Samson's contribution was minimal (12 runs), failing to provide significant support to Ashwin.
Apr 08, 2023:
In a one-sided affair, Rajasthan Royals outplayed Delhi Capitals by 57 runs. Chasing a target of 200 set by Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals were bundled out for a meagre 142 runs. The match was played at Barsapara Cricket Ground, Guwahati, where Delhi Capitals won the toss and were elected to bowl first.
In the first innings, Rajasthan Royals openers Jos Buttler (79 runs) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (60 runs) displayed a strong start, with Jaiswal smashing boundaries from the very first ball of the innings. Buttler joined the party soon after, and the duo took the Delhi bowling attack to the cleaners, scoring boundaries at will. They stitched together a magnificent opening partnership of 139 runs before Jaiswal was dismissed. Although wickets fell at regular intervals after that, Hetmyer's late cameo of 39 runs ensured Rajasthan posted a daunting total of 199.
In the next inning, early blows from Trent Boult, Rajasthan's pace spearhead, rattled the Delhi Capitals' top order. Boult dismissed Prithvi Shaw and Manish Pandey within the first over, leaving Delhi reeling at 0/2. The partnership between David Warner (65 runs) and Lalit Yadav (38 runs) offered a brief period of stability, but they were eventually separated by Yuzvendra Chahal. Warner continued his fight, reaching a well-compiled fifty, but wickets kept tumbling around him.
Chahal and Boult were the pick of the Rajasthan bowlers, claiming three wickets each to dismantle the Delhi batting line-up.
