Rajasthan Royals (RR) faced Delhi Capitals (DC) in the 23rd match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at Sharjah on Friday (October 9).

Asked to bat first, DC posted 184/8 on the board with notable contributions from Shimron Hetmyer (45 off 24 balls) and Marcus Stoinis (39 off 30 balls).

Jofra Archer was the stand-out bowler for RR, claiming 3 wickets by conceding 24 runs in his four overs.

Defending the total, Capitals bundled out Royals for 138 in 19.4 overs, with Kagiso Rabada (3-35), Ravichandran Ashwin (2-22) and Stoinis (2-17) doing the bulk of the damage.

It was a listless batting performance from RR as none of the batsmen managed to cross the 40-run mark. Rahul Tewatia was the top-scorer with 29-ball 38.

Cricket experts took to Twitter and lauded Delhi Capitals’ dominant showing over Rajasthan Royals in all departments.
