The Rajasthan Royals will look to capitalise on their good start in IPL 2024 when they clash against the Delhi Capitals on Thursday, March 28.
Fresh from a commanding victory over the Lucknow Super Giants on March 24, Rajasthan showcased their batting strength by posting a formidable total of 193/4. Spearheaded by captain Sanju Samson’s innings of 82 runs off 52 balls, supported by Riyan Parag’s resilient 43 off 29 balls in the middle overs and Dhruv Jurel’s brisk 20 off 12 balls in the death overs, Rajasthan’s batting lineup propelled the team to victory. Later, Rajasthan’s disciplined bowling effort restricted LSG to 173/6, securing a convincing 20-run win.
Meanwhile, for the Delhi Capitals, the upcoming match presents an opportunity to bounce back after a defeat in their opening match against the Punjab Kings. Despite a collective effort from the Delhi batters, who contributed to a total of 174/9, the team fell short as Punjab Kings chased down the target in 19.2 overs.
With both teams evenly matched in their head-to-head encounters, having played 27 IPL matches thus far, the upcoming match promises to be an exciting affair. While DC has emerged victorious in 13 encounters, Rajasthan has won 14. Delhi’s highest total against RR stands at 207, while RR’s highest score against Delhi is 222.
