IPL 2024: Fraser-McGurk, Porel Fifties; Stubbs’ 41 Propel DC To 221/8 Against RR
Impact Substitute Rasikh Salam: Jake Fraser-McGurk and Abishek Porel slammed fifties in contrasting fashion, while Tristan Stubbs applied finishing touches to the innings with a 20-ball 41 as the trio’s efforts propelled Delhi Capitals to reach 221/8 in 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals in Match 56 in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Tuesday.
While Fraser-McGurk enthralled everyone with a 19-ball fifty, Porel found boundaries consistently to hit a 36-ball 65. It is just the eighth time that the DC openers got fifties in an IPL match. Moreover, this instance happened in New Delhi for the first time since 2015 -– when Mayank Agarwal and Shreyas Iyer hit fifties as openers.
Despite a slowdown in the middle overs, Stubbs slammed three fours and as many sixes in his 41 off 20 balls to ensure the 200 mark was breached in the first innings of an IPL 2024 game here for the fourth consecutive time. DC will hope 221 is enough to get two points as they seek to keep themselves in contention for a playoff spot.
