IPL 2021: Chris Morris, David Miller Star As RR Edge DC In Low-Scoring Thriller

IPL 2021: Chris Morris executed a perfect final assault on the Delhi Capitals bowlers to help Rajasthan Royals register their first win of IPL this season.

David Miller's combative 43-ball 62 and Chris Morris' timely onslaught (36 not out) powered Rajasthan Royals (RR) to a dramatic three-wicket win over Delhi Capitals (DC) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match in Mumbai on Thursday. Opting to bowl, RR pacer Jaydev Unadkat took three wickets for 15 runs to restrict the DC to 147 for eight. Miller then anchored the RR chase but it was Morris whose blitzkrieg took RR home with two balls to spare for their first win of the season. RR were 17 for 3 in the fourth over and 52 for 5 at the halfway mark. They needed 58 from the last five overs and 12 from the final over. Morris ended the run chase with a six off Tom Curran. RR run-chase was, however, in tatters as soon as it started. Chris Woakes removed openers Manan Vohra (9) and Jos Buttler (1) in a space of three balls in the third over.
