Delhi Capitals (DC) returned to winning ways with a handsome 20-run victory over Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 56 of IPL 2024 and kept their slim IPL playoff hopes alive on Tuesday.
Tristan Stubbs smashed a quickfire 41 from 20 balls to lift Delhi Capitals to 221/8 after Rajasthan Royals opted to field.
In reply, Rajasthan Royals were restricted to 201 for 8 with Kuldeep Yadav being the pick of the bowler for Delhi, returning with 2/25. Khaleel Ahmed (2/47) and Mukesh Kumar (2/30) also picked up two wickets apiece.
Delhi now joined Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants with 12 points each in a mid-table scramble for the playoffs.
Skipper Sanju Samson led Rajasthan's chase with his fifth half-century of the season.
But his splendid knock of 86 off 46 balls (8x4, 6x6) came to an end after Shai Hope took a controversial catch at the edge of long-on boundary.
Thereafter, Kuldeep gave a twin blow in his final over to virtually end Rajasthan's hopes.
Earlier, Jake Fraser-McGurk (50 off 20 balls) and Abhishek Porel (65; 36 balls) duo put together 60 runs in just 26 balls before India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (3/24) triggered a collapse.
Delhi Capitals drafted in Afghanistan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib and veteran pacer Ishant Sharma in their playing XI, while Royals named South African all-rounder Donovan Ferreira and batter Shubham Dubey in the playing eleven.
