EDR vs WDL Today Match Prediction, Who Will Win the Match?

East Delhi Riders To win

We predict that East Delhi Riders will be winning this Delhi T20 Premier League match. The likes of Priyansh Arya, Shivam Sharma and Suyash Sharma will be key players to watch out for.

The clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2024 season brought about high expectations and thrilling moments for cricket enthusiasts. Faf du Plessis, the skipper of RCB, won the toss and opted to bowl first. The decision set the tone for an intriguing encounter. However, PBKS faced an early setback with opener Jonny Bairstow departing early, courtesy of a brilliant delivery from Mohammed Siraj.

Anuj Rawat’s Catch

One of the highlights of the match was Anuj Rawat’s exceptional catch behind the stumps to dismiss the dangerous Sam Curran. Rawat’s athleticism and skill garnered widespread praise, with some comparing his performance to that of former Indian wicketkeeper-batsman MS Dhoni.

It was the 5th delivery of the 18th over and Sam Curran was looking to go big as Punjab needed a strong finish. However, Yash Dayal who was hit for a boundary earlier in the over, bowled a good pacy bouncer that produced an top edge off the bat of Sam Curran who tried to hook the ball. The ball seemed to be going over Anuj Rawat but the wicketkeeper timed his jumped nicely to grab a one-handed stunner.

Anuj Rawat’s Record

Anuj Rawat’s catch marked a historic moment as he became the first wicketkeeper for RCB to achieve four dismissals in a single innings, showcasing his prowess behind the stumps.

PBKS Innings

Despite the early setback, PBKS captain Shikhar Dhawan led from the front, attempting to stabilize the innings. However, RCB’s bowlers applied consistent pressure, resulting in Dhawan’s departure after a valiant effort of 44 runs off 37 balls. Additionally, the departure of the dangerous Liam Livingstone for just 17 runs in 13 balls further hampered PBKS’ momentum. The team pinned their hopes on Jitesh Sharma and Sam Curran to provide a strong finish.

PBKS concluded their innings with a competitive total of 176/6, with contributions from various players, including Shashank, who provided crucial runs towards the end. With the pitch offering advantages to the batters, PBKS aimed to defend their total with an effective bowling strategy.

RCB Bowling Performance

RCB’s bowlers, notably Glenn Maxwell and Yash Dayal, showcased exceptional skills, restricting PBKS’ batters and preventing them from unleashing their full potential.

Sam Curran was the player of the match in Punjab Kings winning start to IPL 2024 against DC as he scored a brilliant 63 in a run-chase. After the wicket of Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma also lost his wicket and Punjab Kings who would have hoped for a total of close to 200, have fallen well short of that landmark.
