IPL: Rajasthan Royals thrash Delhi Capitals by 57 runs
Rajasthan Royals defeated Delhi Capitals by 57 runs on Saturday in Match 11 of IPL 2023 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati.
This is their second win of the tournament while Delhi Capitals are winless after 3 matches this season.
The Royals hardly put a foot wrong after being put into bat by DC captain David Warner. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler set the tone for RR with a rapid 98-run stand for the opening wicket before Shimron Hetmyer gave the team the finishing touches to the innings.
Faced with a 201-run chase, DC needed something special from one of their batters but none of them could deliver. David Warner’s half-century counted for little as his poor strike rate piled on the pressure for his teammates.
However, Warner became the third batter after Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan to reach 6,000 runs in the IPL.
