Highlights | RR vs DC, IPL 2023 Cricket Score & Updates: Rajasthan Thrash Delhi by 57 Runs

Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals, Indian Premier League 2023 LIVE Cricket Scorecard: Riding on a superb batting display by Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal followed by Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal's top-quality bowling Rajasthan defeated Delhi by 57 runs.

Zee News

Stars of the match for Rajasthan were Jos Butler Yashsavi Jaiswal, Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal as they beat Delhi by 57 runs in the match number 11 of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati on Saturday. Delhi Capitals won the toss and elected field first against the Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Saturday. RR posted a massive total of 199 runs after the first innings. DC's batting unit has struggled in the first two games due to the raw pace of Mark Wood and Alzarri Joseph. The likes of Prithvi Shaw and Sarfaraz Khan will be relieved to face a mid-130 kmph attack comprising Trent Boult, KM Asif, and Jason Holder. However, the guile of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal could be challenging in the hot afternoon and early evening conditions. The Barsapara Stadium's pattern of scores suggests that batters get value for their shots, which might give some relief to DC. Additionally, the absence of dangerous Jos Buttler, who has got stitches on his little finger, could be advantageous for DC. However, DC's poor bench strength in terms of Indian talent is a significant drawback.

Rajasthan Royals' Yashasvi Jaiswal and skipper Sanju Samson have been in good form in the first two games and could pose a challenge for DC's bowlers. The usage of 'Impact Player' Aman Hakim Khan and Axar Patel's utility as a bowler with southpaws will be critical in DC's strategy.
Although RR lost their previous match, they remain the favourites to win this one. At Guwahati, any total less than 190 will be easy pickings for the team chasing, but the afternoon match will somewhat negate the dew factor.

RR vs DC IPL 2023 Live: That is it!

DC's struggles continued as they limped to a paltry 142 while chasing a target of 200. This has been a recurring theme for them throughout the tournament. Warner's slow fifty did little to improve their chances as Boult's two early wickets dented their hopes of a successful chase. The pitch seemed to play differently for DC as compared to RR, who had no trouble in piling up the runs. Lalit Yadav and Warner tried to inject some momentum into the chase, but their efforts fell short as the required run rate continued to climb. Lalit's dismissal spelt the end for DC, and they were left with only formalities to address. Earlier in the match, Jaiswal and Buttler had set the tone for RR's innings, threatening to score even more than their eventual total of 199, before losing wickets in the middle overs.

RR vs DC IPL 2023 Live: R Ashwin takes big wicket

Hetmyer takes the catch as Powell departs, caught by the fielder at deep mid. Powell danced down the wicket and attempted to heave the ball across the line, but he misjudged the flight of the delivery. The fielder initially misjudged the catch but recovered in time to take it comfortably. Ashwin bowled a well-flighted delivery, which deceived the batter and resulted in his downfall. This wicket will further dent the chase for the batting team. Ashwin has picked up another wicket, adding to his tally. Powell is out for just 2 runs off 2 balls.

18:52 IST

RR vs DC IPL 2023 Live: Chahal strikes

Axar is stumped by Samson off Chahal's bowling. The delivery was a tossed-up delivery which appeared to be a googly. Axar advanced down the pitch and failed to connect with the ball. It turned in slightly and went past him in the air, allowing Samson to whip the bails off. Axar's departure is a significant blow to DC, who have lost their fifth wicket. It seems like Axar jumped out too early, causing his dismissal. He scored 2 runs off 6 balls.

18:42 IST

RR vs DC IPL 2023 Live: Lalit Yadav Departs

Boult strikes again! A full and straight delivery that leaves Lalit Yadav with no choice but to go for a wild swing across the line, but he misses it completely and the stumps are shattered. Boult celebrates his third wicket of the innings, having already made an impact with the new ball. Lalit Yadav played a good little knock, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough for his team. Boult has been outstanding once again, showcasing his skills as a quality fast bowler. Lalit Yadav departs after scoring 38 runs, including five boundaries.

18:02 IST

RR vs DC IPL 2023 Live: R Ashwin Strikes

Rossouw has gifted his wicket away with a soft dismissal off Ashwin's bowling. The batsman attempted a reverse sweep but was too early into the shot, resulting in a simple catch to cover-point. Ashwin cleverly provided flight and additional bounce, which led to Rossouw committing to the shot too early. The ball lobbed up in the air, and Jaiswal made no mistake, diving forward to complete the catch. This wicket sees Delhi Capitals lose their grip on the match once again.

17:39 IST

RR vs DC IPL 2023 Live: Two in two for Boult

Boult has claimed two wickets in two balls! Manish Pandey is the latest batsman to depart, given out LBW. After a discussion with his captain, Manish decides to review the decision. Unfortunately for him, UltraEdge indicates that there was no inside edge. The ball-tracking confirms that the impact was in front of the middle stump and would have gone on to hit the leg stump. The on-field umpire's decision stays, and Delhi Capitals are in trouble. It's been a tragic start for them. Boult bowled an inswinger and Manish tried to play an aggressive on-drive but misjudged the movement of the ball. He fell over while playing the shot, and the umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger after a loud appeal.

17:35 IST

RR vs DC IPL 2023 Live: Duck for Shaw

Samson takes a stunning catch to dismiss Prithvi Shaw off the bowling of Boult for a duck. The delivery was full and moved slightly away from the off-stump. Shaw attempted an ambitious drive but his feet were planted and he could only manage a thick outside edge. The ball was flying to the right of the keeper and beyond the lone slip fielder, but Samson dived to his right and grabbed it with his right hand, holding on as he fell to the ground. Boult has struck early and Shaw has to make his way back to the pavilion. Prithvi Shaw c Samson b Boult 0(3).

RR vs DC IPL 2023 Live: Jos Buttler on his injury

"Cut my finger in the last game but a few stitches and good to play. (On Orange Cap) Nice to wear, but just glad to get a decent start to the season. This is a good wicket, so we need to bowl well to defend this. The powerplay was fantastic, but the bounce got lower as the ball got older and we lost some momentum in the middle-overs by losing a couple of wickets, hope Ashwin and Chahal could do the same for us. (On getting spin on early) It is a possibility, we’ve built a squad where everyone is comfortable bowling anywhere, so that’s an option but obviously Trent Boult has been bowling really well as well."
