RR vs DC: Marcus Stoinis Complete Show Propels Delhi Capitals To Emphatically Beat Rajasthan Royals | Cricket news

SHARJAH: Australian all terrain Marcus stoinis shone with both the bat and the ball as Capitals of Delhi regained first place in the IPL standings with a complete 46-race victory over Royals of Rajasthan here on friday.
Delhi posted 184 of eight, the lowest total of first innings on the ground this season. Shimron Hetmyer24 to 45 and 39 to 30 Stoinis balls.
Kagiso Rabada (3/35) then picked three wickets, while Stoinis (2/17), Ravichandran Ashwin (2/22) caught two wickets apiece as Delhi sacked Rajasthan for 138 in 19.4 overs to secure their fifth win in six matches.

Rajasthan was never convincing in the chase and ended with their fourth loss in as many games.
Jos Buttler (13) fell to a magnificent catch by Shikhar Dhawan and Steve Smith (24) and Sanju Samson (5) sank Hetmyer in midwicket and long-on respectively to leave RR at 72 for three.

Ashwin then came back to eliminate Mahipal Lomror (1), while Stoinis cleared the young Yashasvi Jaiswal, who battled for 34 against 36 after opening innings.
Rahul Tewatia (38 of 29) hit some lustful punches but the grounds continued to fall on a pitch that wasn’t as good at hitting as previous games here.
Previously, Jofra Archer (3/24) took three wickets and Tewatia (1/20) and young pacemaker Kartik Tyagi (1/35) captured one each as RR restricted to a sub-par total.
Playing his first IPL game this season, Andrew Tye also took a wicket but conceded 50 in his four overs.
RR also inflicted two runs, eliminating Shreyas Iyer (22 of 18) and Rishabh pants (5).
Hetmyer crushed five sixes and one four to emerge as Delhi’s top scorer.
Archer was the bowlers’ choice when he eliminated starter Shikhar Dhawan (5) in the second over.
Skipper Iyer broke two fours from pacemaker Varun Aaron (0/25 in 2 overs) and then Prithvi Shaw (19 of 10) deposited him in the stands after Tyagi dropped the first goal on the previous ball.
Shaw couldn’t stay longer, however, as Archer induced a top spike from the batter and then completed the catch.
Jaiswal then ran out of Iyer with a brilliant direct pitch with Delhi falling to 51 for three late in the power play.
Stoinis defeated spinner Shreyas Gopal for six in a row in the seventh, but Tyagi and Tewatia blocked the flow of the race before Hetmyer crushed Tye by a six to go up 100 at 13.
After Stoinis was sacked by Tewatia in his last over, Hetmyer took command and hit Tye for a four and six before launching Tyagi for six in a row.
But the young pacer from India was the last to laugh when the West Indies batsman was locked into the long limit.
In 18, Axar Patel (17-of-8) pitched two fours and six for Tye to rack up 22 runs.
