IPL 2024: Orange Cap

IPL 2024: Most Wickets

The ace bowler for MI, Jasprit Bumrah, continues to lead the Purple Cap race with his exceptional bowling performances. Bumrah’s tally of 20 wickets in 13 matches underscores his prowess as one of the premier bowlers in the tournament.

After a slow start, Harshal Patel has emerged as a revelation for PBKS. His ability to pick wickets, especially in the death overs, has been pivotal for PBKS’ bowling unit. Patel’s tally of 20 wickets in 12 matches highlights his impact on the team’s fortunes.

Jacks, after scoring 41 runs, was also sent back to the pavilion in the 15th over, courtesy of a delivery from Kuldeep Yadav. Green’s resilient unbeaten 32 helped RCB post a competitive total of 187/9 in their allotted 20 overs.

DC’s Chase

In response, DC faced early setbacks with losing key wickets, including that of David Warner in the first over. What followed for the visitors was a top-order meltdown as Jake Frazer McGurk and Abishek Porel both lost their wickets cheaply within the powerplay on 21 and 2 runs respectively.

Despite efforts from Shai Hope, Axar Patel, and Tristan Stubbs, DC struggled to maintain momentum in their chase.

Hope got dismissed after a gritty 23-ball 29. With the score at 86/5 at 9.3 overs, Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs got the task on themselves to take DC over the line in what was proving to be a challenging task. However, Tristan Stubbs’ early dismissal left Axar Patel as the only proper batter on the crease.

Axar Patel’s well-made 57 on the night kept DC’s innings going but never got them looking like they would take the 2 points away from the hosts. In the end, Delhi Capitals were restricted to just 140, eventually putting a big dent in their playoff hopes.

Analysis of the Match

RCB’s strong batting performance, coupled with DC’s top-order collapse, highlighted the home team’s dominance. While Axar Patel’s resilient innings provided some resistance, DC fell short of the target, denting their playoff hopes.

RCB Women Skipper In Post Match Presentation

Smriti said, “For RCB, it’s a lot more. I’m not the only one who won the trophy, the team has won the trophy. I’m not the person to talk about what I feel. This is in top five maybe. Obviously a World Cup would top it. Have a message for the fans – the most loyal fanbase. One statement that always comes up is Ee Sala Cup Namde. Now it’s Ee Sala Cup Namdu. Kannada is not my first language but it was important to say it for the fans.”

50th Match, IPL: Delhi Capitals 187 for 3 for D (Phil Salt 87) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore 181 for 4 (Kohli 55, Lomror 54*, Marsh 2-21) by seven wickets 

Even though the Delhi Capitals’ batting might didn’t show up until quite late in the tournament, they still gave their home crowd a stunning display of boundary hitting, the highlight of which was Phil Salt’s 87 off 45 balls to end RCB’s chase of 182 with 20 balls left.

Salt’s assault, which included a lot of horizontal-bat shots, saw him hit five of his six sixes over the leg-side boundary after he had only scored over 10 in his previous five T20 innings and had three ducks. Salt kept attacking to bring the asking rate below six in almost no time, launching the Capitals’ chase with their first half-century of the season. They scored 70 runs in the powerplay and 115 runs at the halfway point thanks to Salt’s fifty off 28 balls, but an over by Harshal Patel reduced the chase to 32 runs off 42 balls.

Salt’s eight fours and six sixes helped the Capitals defeat RCB for the first time in three years, despite his final score of 87. The Capitals moved up from last place in the table with their fourth victory in their last five games.

DC’s best powerplay

The chase by the Capitals was unlike any other bat display they have put on this season. David Warner started with two fours off the initial three balls from Mohammed Siraj, prior to clearing Wanindu Hasaranga’s most memorable ball for six in the fourth over. In the middle between, Salt took on Josh Hazlewood for two fours preceding a lively fifth over from Siraj.

Salt slapped the second ball over cover and into the stands before flicking one bounce into the square-leg boundary after top-edging the first ball for six. Following a heated exchange between the batter and the bowler and some animated finger-pointing from Siraj toward both Warner and Salt, Siraj responded with a bouncer that was called wide.

Warner skied a catch off Hazlewood for 22 off 14 in the last over of the powerplay yet Mitchell Swamp finished the over with a major six over midwicket and an edged four to control Capitals to 70 after six overs. If Dinesh Karthik had not saved a difficult opportunity from Salt in the fourth over, an inside edge off Hasaranga, they might not have had as much success.

Phil Salt’s boundary bonanza

Salt hit everything that got in his way while he was on 35 off 17: Short ones were disdainfully pulled, and a few edges also raced to the boundary as wide balls vanished over cover.

Although Marsh scored off a full toss, RCB’s bowlers continued to be attacked. Salt hit a six over the leg side in Harshal’s 13th over, Rilee Rossouw hit two more down the ground, and Suyash Prabhudessai scored 24 runs with a midfield on the long-off boundary.

Salt hit two more boundaries before losing to Karn Sharma, and Rossouw won the game with his third six in the 17th over.

Kohli and Du Plessis solid but not spectacular

After RCB decided to bat on what was viewed as a sluggish pitch at the Arun Jaitley Arena, Virat Kohli began by playing nine spot balls in the initial three overs, yet in addition tracked down the limit in every one of them.

After hitting Mukesh Kumar for three fours in the fifth over, Faf du Plessis gave RCB a boost by hitting Khaleel Ahmed for a pair of sixes and a four to make it 51 from the powerplay.

Marsh goes bang, bang

When Marsh caught du Plessis slapping a short and wide slower ball to deep point, Kohli and du Plessis continued to bat into the eleventh over of the innings. After that, he got Glenn Maxwell to catch the first ball, putting RCB at 82 for 2. At the other end, Kohli was on 36 off 31, and the run rate dropped slightly.

Delhi Capitals will not be able to use South African Anrich Nortje in their crucial IPL 2023 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday at Feroz Shah Kotla, as the pacer had to fly back home for personal emergency.

Delhi Capitals Facing a Tough Challenge

Anrich Nortje’s absence from the Royal Challengers Bangalore match was made public by the Delhi Capitals on their official Twitter account. The Capitals are now faced with the challenge of finding a suitable replacement, citing a personal emergency as the reason. Against the formidable RCB team, Nortje’s speed and wicket-taking abilities will be greatly missed. This was their announcement via tweet:

The Capitals have relied heavily on Anrich Nortje, who has an impressive IPL record

He has taken 50 wickets in 38 matches, including seven wickets in eight IPL 2023 matches, at an economy rate of 8.91 and an average of 40.71. The Capitals should figure out how to make up for his nonappearance and set up major areas of strength for a.

RCB Gains Advantage

The Royal Challengers Bangalore can relax now that Anrich Nortje is out of the lineup. Many IPL teams, including RCB, have had trouble with Nortje’s ability to take wickets. Entering the coordinate with certainty in the wake of guarding a low all out against Lucknow Super Goliaths, RCB expects to proceed with their great structure and secure a success against the Capitals.

The match between the Delhi Capitals and the Imperial Challengers Bangalore vows to be an interesting standoff. However, in order to compete with RCB’s star-studded batting lineup, the Capitals will need to find a suitable replacement for Nortje. Central members like Kohli, Glenn, and Faf have been in magnificent structure this season, and the Capitals should be at their best to contain them.

Key Players

David Warner

David Warner found form in the previous game and seems to be back to his IPL best. He is a legend in the tournament and after a poor season last year, David Warner has a lot of catching up to do from a personal point of view.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohil has had a rather silent season. He made it past 40 twice, and on both occasions looked extremely fluent. In his other innings though, Virat Kohli was dismissed with ease and his form of old seems to be missing. He is normally a fixture in the top run charts of the season but this year Virat Kohli is far away from the top five and will be eager to get back to his prolific style of scoring.

DC Vs RCB Match Tips

Both teams come in with balanced line-ups and decent performances. Delhi Capitals in particular finally seem to be blooming with Warner and Kuldeep back in form, giving them a slight edge with Virat Kohli struggling in the RCB camp.

Match Prediction: DC will win the match.
