RAJASTHAN ROYALS WIN BY 3 WICKETS Chris Morris seals it with a six for Rajasthan Royals. 4th of the innings. 4 in 10 balls. In the end, what seemed like a below-par total became too stiff. If not for David Miller's half-century and Morris's late blitz, it would have been a performance that would've left the Rajasthan Royals' batters with a lot to introspect. Delhi Capitals bowlers did well to get the team to the position they found themselves in, but in the end, gave away with quite a few poor deliveries. Rishabh Pant said that dew played a part in the end. For all that happened and that didn't, both the teams now find themselves with one win and one loss each after two games.

3 sixes in 8 balls... Chris Morris is turning it around for Royals.

’s team selection. Batting looks really thin. Hopefully they won’t regret dropping Hetmeyer.

WICKET Jaydev Unadkat has struck again! 2 in 2 balls for the left-arm pacer. Sanju Samson takes a fine catch to send Shikhar Dhawan back. Delhi are already playing slightly thin in the batting department and the early dismissals of the openers isn't a good sign. 16/2 in 3.1 overs.

WICKETPrithvi Shaw departs early. The opener is tricked by a slower delivery as he gets an outside edge to the point fielder. Jaydev Unadkat with the wicket on his return game. 5/1 in 2 overs.

Chetan Sakariya has troubled the in-form Prithvi Shaw in the opening over but the DC opener has survived. Can he go on dominate though?

Hello and welcome to the seventh match of the Indian Premier League 2021, to be played between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. While the former would be looking to register their first win of the season, the latter have already found momentum with a strong performance in their opening game against Chennai Super Kings. They, especially openers Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan, would love to continue their rich form in the second match as well. Can a Jofra Archer- and Ben Stokes-less Royals find an answer?
