The Delhi Capitals (DC) take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 34 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. The game was originally scheduled to be held at the MCA Stadium in Pune, but was shifted to Mumbai as a precautionary measure owing to COVID-19 cases in the DC camp.
Despite all the off-field troubles, Delhi came up with a commanding performance to thump the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by nine wickets in their previous IPL 2022 match. Bowling first, they bundled out Punjab for 115. In the chase, they raced home in 10.3 overs courtesy of blistering knocks from openers David Warner (61*) and Prithvi Shaw (41).
Rajasthan also go into the match with a win against their name in their previous clash. Batting first, they put up 217 for 5 as Jos Buttler notched up his second ton of the season. Yuzvendra Chahal (5/40) then stunned KKR during their chase, claiming a hat-trick.
