Indian Premier League 2021 | Delhi aims for consolidation, Rajasthan hopes to keep winning momentum going
The Hindu
Rajasthan Royals have bridged the gap on the playoff spots and a victory against Delhi will take them to the fourth.
Operating like a well-oiled unit, Delhi Capitals will be eager to consolidate their top spot when they clash with a resurgent Rajasthan Royals, who will be keen to keep the winning momentum going in the Indian Premier League in Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
The Rishabh Pant-led side had a sensational first leg, winning six games in eight outings. They started the second phase on a high by handing laggards Sunrisers Hyderabad an eight-wicket thrashing on Wednesday to maintain their top spot on the points table.
On the other hand, Rajasthan, who were struggling to find their feet in the first leg, will take a lot of confidence after snatching a two-run victory from the jaws of defeat against Punjab Kings.
