Chris Morris smashed 36 off 18 helped Rajasthan Royals(RR) seal a victory from the hands of Delhi Capitals(DC) in the 7th match of the IPL 2021 on Thursday. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Brief Score: Delhi Capitals - 147\/8 (Rishabh Pant - 51; Jaydev Unadkat - 3\/15) & Rajasthan Royals (David Miller - 62; Avesh Khan - 3\/32) <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chasing a target of 148, RR looked down and out after they got reduced 42\/5 by some disciplined bowling by the DC bowlers, especially in the powerplay. Chris Woakes started the proceedings as he picked both the openers - Manan Vohra and Jos Buttler - early in the innings. In the next over, Kagiso Rabada removed RR captain Sanju Samson. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Avesh Khan continued his impressive form as he got Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag out to further disrupt their chances of winning. He later got David Miller out as well. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Rahul Tewatia and Miller then stitched a crucial 48 run partnership from 34 balls to revive the innings and keep Rajasthan in the chase. Tewatia got out after hitting 19 off 17. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Miller got out soon after making an important 62 off 43 with the help of seven fours and two sixes. Chris Morris was alone at the crease with a task still unfinished. He got good support from Jaydev Unadkat, who earlier took three wickets - all inside the powerplay. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rishabh Pant missed a clear run-out chance of Unadkat, where the ball popped out of his hand right before he clipped the bails.
\r\nNeeding 29 in 12 balls, Morris smashed four sixes - all came in the final two overs of the game to take his team home and proved his worth. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Earlier, Rajasthan captain Samson asked Delhi to bat first on a pitch that was offering movement to the seamers with the new ball. The decision proved to be right as Delhi three wickets inside the powerplay including both the openers - Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan -and Ajinkya Rahane. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Unadkat took all three and ended his bowling figures with 3\/15 in four overs. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rishabh Pant and debutant Lalit Yadav added 51 for the fifth wicket in 36 balls to keep Delhi in the game. Pant hit a crucial 51 from 32 balls before getting run-out. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tom Curran and Chris Woakes helped DC reached a competitive score of 147 with their cameos of 21 and 15 respectively. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
This was the first time a team did not hit even a single six while playing at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium in the history of the Indian Premier League(IPL). <\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ipl-2021-morris-helps-rajasthan-royals-seal-a-3-wicket-win-over-delhi-capitals-.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for IPL 2021: Morris Helps Rajasthan Royals Seal A 3 Wicket Win Over Delhi Capitals ", "alt_title": "Chris Morris", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "Rajasthan Royals Beat Delhi Capitals By 3 Wickets In IPL 2021 (Match Report)", "seo_desc": "A victory from the hands of Delhi Capitals(DC) in the 7th match of the IPL 2021 on Thursday.\u00a0", "seo_keywords": "IPL 2021, Delhi Capitals, Rajasthan Royals", "tag": "", "tagging": "IPL 2021,Delhi Capitals,Rajasthan Royals,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "ipl-2021-morris-helps-rajasthan-royals-seal-a-3-wicket-win-over-delhi-capitals", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2409", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2021-04-15 23:52:48", "updated": "2021-04-16 10:45:13", "img_from": "Image Source: Google", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals, RR vs DC, IPL 2021, Chris Morris, Jaydev Unadkat, Avesh Khan, Rishabh Pant", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "12", "jio_date": "2021-04-15 23:52:48", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2021-04-15 23:52:48", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/ipl-2021-morris-helps-rajasthan-royals-seal-a-3-wicket-win-over-delhi-capitals-74373" }
