Delhi Capitals Pacers Blow Away Struggling Royals Of Rajasthan
With misfiring top-guns and relatively less-experienced middle-order, Rajasthan Royals were blown away by the wind of Delhi Capitals' pacers in the 30th encounter of IPL 2020. Chasing 162 runs at Dubai's ground, Rajasthan could not encash a good start. Though Ben Stokes (41 runs) and Jos Buttler (22 runs) helped the scoreboard ticking, other Royals were unable to withstand Capitals' bowling. While Ashwin shattered the timber of Steve Smith off a golden duck, Anrich Nortje took crucial wickets of Buttler and Uthappa to cripple Rajasthan's batting. Notably, Nortje also bowled the fastest delivery in the IPL history at 156.2 kmph. Besides, Delhi's ever-performing Kagiso Rabada contained Rajasthan to go for mighty heaves in the last overs. Earlier, Delhi scored an above par total of 161 runs with Dhawan and Shreyas scoring half-centuries at a crucial time when the Capitals were two down for just ten in third over. With this win, Delhi toppled Mumbai in the points table.
