Jaiswal falls early

Khaleel Ahmed removes the dangerous Yashasvi Jaiswal off his second ball to give Capitals the perfect start. Jaiswal was looking to back away and slap a slower bouncer away, but miscues it to mid-off.

Ricky Ponting on T20 coaching, the batting explosion and more

"I'm telling you, a couple of years ago with us, when [Shikhar] Dhawan and [Prithvi] Shaw were opening, one of our mantras was to get to 45 for none or one down. Even before the last two years, par in powerplay would be 45 to 50 through the IPL. Now this year it'll be a lot more and teams are doing it easily."

Stubbs goes big against Chahal

After a boundary from Gulbadin Naib, Stubbs first goes for a reverse-sweep and then a paddle sweep for back-to-back boundaries. He finishes the with a massive slog sweep over deep backward square. Trent Boult gets Naib in the next over, but Rasikh Salam scoops Boult for boundaries off his first two balls to take Capitals past 200.

Can Tristan Stubbs help Capitals finish on a high?

After two seasons spent largely on the sidelines, the South African batter is showing the IPL what he can do. He has the highest strike rate in the death in IPL 2024, and is Delhi Capitals' highest run-getter after Rishabh Pant. You can read Himanshu Agrawal's piece on him being superb against spin and destructive at the death.

Royals spinners fight back

R Ashwin gets his third as he gets Abishek Porel to hole out. Rishabh Pant then falls to Yuzvendra Chahal as Delhi Capitals fall to 150 for 5. It's Chahal's 350th T20 wicket as well! Here is what our experts had to say about the battle of spin in this game:

Capitals 115 for 3 at halfway mark

Axar Patel fell to R Ashwin, but Abishek Porel, unbeaten on 46 off 27 at the 10-over mark, and Jake Fraser-McGurk, who made a 20-ball 50, have ensured Capitals are on track for a big score.

Porel gets to his half-century with a six off the first ball he faces in the 11th over, with Rishabh Pant for company. Sampath Bandarupalli drops a little stat nugget: Only the eighth time both the DC openers got fifties in an IPL match. This is the first time they have done it at Delhi since 2015

Hope runs out of luck

Soon after Fraser-McGurk's wicket, Shai Hope also has to depart, for little fault of his own though. Abishek Porel hammers a shot back down the ground but Sandeep Sharma sticks his left hand out and deflects the ball towards the stumps at the non-striker's end. Hope was well out of his crease and has to make the long walk back

Ashwin gets Fraser-McGurk

Ravichandran Ashwin throws up a thigh high full toss as his first ball to Fraser-McGurk, but the opener can only hammer it to the fielder's hands at cover. With his fifty up, he was not looking to slow down, but couldn't get the placement right this time.

Fraser-McGurk rockets away!

Fraser-McGurk begins the third over by lofting Trent Boult over his head for a six before slapping him for four over short third. The most outrageous shot comes one ball later, as he tennis-forehands a length ball over extra cover for another boundary.

But he was just getting started as he takes 28 runs off Avesh Khan. He goes from 7 off 7 to a 50 off 19 balls, which is his slowest in the season! Avesh was unlucky as the first ball drew an inside edge past the stumps for four, but Fraser-McGurk then took control completely as every ball of the over went for a boundary

Boult starts from around the wicket

Trent Boult, oh so famous for swinging the ball into right-handers from over the wicket, decides to change things up from the start to angle the ball in from around the wicket to Jake Fraser-McGurk. Fraser-McGurk starts off with a brace, clipped off his pads in front of square, but is then beaten three balls in a row, with the third one hitting the batter on the box.

But Fraser-McGurk counters by moving leg side and chipping a length ball over mid-off the very next ball

Can Trent Boult calm the FMCG storm?

Average: 57.33. Strike rate: 292

That's Jake Fraser-McGurk's stats in Delhi this season. The young Australian is the first big challenge for the Rajasthan Royals bowlers. Can Trent Boult do the damage with the new ball again? He has 61 powerplay wickets in the IPL and will be itching to add to that list tonight.
