Another comprehensive performance from Rajasthan Royals bowlers as they defend another total quite convincingly. Their bowlers once again put up a good show while defending the target. RR pacers Sandeep Sharma, Avesh Khan, Trent Boult, and Nandre Burger along with spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and R Aswhin did well as a bowling unit to hand their team a good win. For Delhi, their batting and bowling in the death overs cost them this game. The team's middle-order looks undercooked as they fail to overhaul the target for the second time in a row and looks heavily reliant on Marsh and Warner.
