Delhi Capitals (DC) regained the top spot on the points table after they beat Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 46 runs in Match 23 of the Dream11 Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium yesterday.

Electing to bowl, RR struck early as DC lost Shikhar Dhawan in the second over, Jofra Archer picking up his first wicket.

While Shreyas Iyer and Prithvi Shaw hit three fours and a six over the course of the next over, DC lost Shaw after Archer held onto a catch off of his own bowling. RR then picked their third wicket in the powerplay as Iyer was run-out following a fine fielding effort from Yashasvi Jaiswal.
