Rajasthan Royals Shock Delhi Capitals with last over win
The match between Delhi capitals and Rajasthan was initially expected to go the Royals way, the chips then turned towards Delhi, when they batted, but finally ending with the Royals emerging victorious. For the Royals, this is their first win, in two matches and for the DC's their first loss in two matches.
Delhi Capitals struggled initially, losing early wickets, until Pant brought them back. He was run out, but still the score of 147 runs appeared defendable when half the Royals side was back in the dugout before they crossed 50 runs.
The DC's bowlers were in control in the beginning, with Ashwin himself conceding only 12 runs in three overs. However, he didn't get to complete his full quota of overs, which was strange. Towards the end Pant missed a runout which could have had a bearing on the end result. It's still early days for him, as far as captaincy is concerned.
Towards the end, Morris struck telling blows in the form of sixes. Things turned around from Rabada's penultimate over and there was no looking back for Morris. All the more, a much needed win for them. Having almost chased 221 runs against Punjab, DC's probably let down their guard towards the end, resulting in a shock defeat. However, nothing disheartening for them as it was a low scoring match. They should start improving from here.
