IPL 2023, RR vs DC Live Score: Match Summary

 

In the first game of Match Day 9 in TATA IPL 2023, Rajasthan Royals decimated teh Delhi Capitals, pushing them to their third consecutive loss of the tournament. The Royals were too good in their defence of 199 as they picked two wickets in the first over itself and broke the back oif Delhi’s chase. 

 

The Capitals were reduced to 36-3 in teh first six overs before Lalit Yadav and David Warner added 64 in 44 balls to give some hope to Delhi fans. But after that partnership was broken by Trent Boult, who had picked the first two wickets in the first over, wickets fell at regular intervals. Even after yet another fighting innings from skipper David Warner, the Capitals could get only as far as 142/9 in their 20 overs, losing the match by 57 runs. 

 

Earlier in teh day, after being asked to bat first, Rajasthan were off to a flyer thanks to a 31 ball 60 by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Jos Buttler anchored the innings well and scored 51 ball 79 to guide the Royals to 199/4 at the end of their 20 overs.

IPL 2023, MI vs CSK Live Score: Match Summary

 

Chasing the target of 158, Chennai Super Kings were in for a shocker as Devon Conway was removed for a duck. Mumbai Indians thought that they were in the game. However, Ajnikya Rahane, who came in at number three had other plans as he smashed 61 off just 27 balls to dash all the home crowd hopes. Since he is local Mumbai lad, not everyperson was sad in the stands. 

 

The remaining formality after the loss of his wicket was completed by Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shivam Dubey and Ambati Rayudu who scored 40*, 28 and 20* respectively to chase down the Mumbai total with 11 balls to spare. 

 

Earlier in the evening, MS Dhoni won the toss and asked Rohit Sharma and his men to bat first. For the first time, the opening pair of Rohit and Ishan showed some confidence and 38 for the first wicket in just four overs. But as wickets started to fall, they just kept on falling. Late hits from Tim David and Hrithik Shokeen got the Mumbai side to 157/8 in their 20 overs. 

 

Ravindra Jadeja and Mitch Santner picked three and two wickets respectively.
