Pre-Match Analysis:
Delhi Capitals’ stellar 4-match winning streak finally came to a halt following their loss to Mumbai Indians on Sunday. Karun Nair, who was on a dream run in the domestic circuit, extended his domination into the IPL, smashing 89 runs from 40 balls, however all of his efforts went in vain as the side fell short of 12 runs. 3 run-outs in the span of 3 deliveries in the 19th over, ended their hopes of winning 5 straight matches.
Another mediocre bowling display resulted in Rajasthan Royals giving up the game so easily in their latest fixture against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday. Playing in front of their home fans for the first time, the Royals didn’t produce the magic as they went down by 9 wickets with 15 balls to spare.
Earlier, On the pitch which was tricky for run-scoring, they did a commendable job to get to the score of 173 for 4. Flamboyant batter Yashasvi Jaiswal top-scored for the side with 47-ball 75 runs.
Their most sought overseas bowling setup, featuring the likes of Jofra Archer, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Maheesh Theekshana is yet to make a huge impression, managing 17 wickets between them in the IPL 2025 so far.
Even they need to pull up their socks with the bat in the middle overs, the phase where the runs have dried up. After two back-to-back losses, they have been pushed down to 8th in the standings with 4 points.
