Last Meeting
In the last meeting between the sides in Mumbai on 15 April 2021, DC batted first. After a poor start in which they lost four wickets for only 37 runs by the seventh over, they were rescued somewhat by a fifth-wicket partnership of 51 runs between Rishabh Pant and Lalit Yadav. But once the partnership was broken in the 13th over, DC slid to be restricted to 147/8 in their allotted overs. For DC, Pant made a top score with 51. For RR, Jaydev Unadkat (3/15) was the best bowler on the night.
When they replied, Royals did not have the best of starts, losing five wickets for 42 by the 10th over. But a late order resurgence led by David Miller and Chris Morris saw them cross the line with three wickets and two balls to spare. For RR, Miller was the top scorer with 62 from 43 balls. For DC, Avesh Khan emerged the best bowler while taking three for 32.
