In response, Delhi's opening pair of David Warner and Mitchell Marsh ignited hopes with a strong start. Yet, Nandre Burger's breakthroughs triggered a collapse, leaving the chase challenging. Despite valiant efforts from Warner and skipper Rishabh Pant, the lack of consistent boundaries proved fatal. Tristan Stubbs provided a glimmer of hope with a brisk 44, but precise bowling from Sandeep Sharma and Avesh Khan clinched victory for Rajasthan.

Avesh Khan emerged as the hero, exhibiting nerves of steel in defending 17 runs in the final over, securing Rajasthan Royals' second consecutive win. Riyan Parag's stellar innings and the bowlers' disciplined efforts propelled them to a memorable 12-run victory, while Delhi Capitals faced their second consecutive defeat, highlighting the intense competition of IPL 2024.
