Mitchell Starc bowled a sensational final over, restricting Rajasthan to match Delhi’s 188-run total and forcing the game into a Super Over. The match witnessed edge-of-the-seat drama as both teams fought hard in one of the season’s most intense clashes.
In the Super Over, RR sent in Hetmyer and Riyan Parag. Though they hit boundaries, both were run out in quick succession. The Royals managed just 11 runs.
DC needed 12. KL Rahul began with a quick double and a four. Then, Tristan Stubbs finished the game with a towering six off Sandeep Sharma, sealing the victory for Delhi.
Axar Patel’s leadership brought Delhi back to the top of the points table with five wins from six matches. Rajasthan, still chasing their second IPL title since 2008, now face their fifth loss in seven games.
