Delhi Capitals set a formidable target of 188/5 in their IPL clash against Rajasthan Royals, driven by a composed innings from Abishek Porel and a fiery finish from skipper Axar Patel.

Porel, with KL Rahul, laid a solid foundation, accumulating a 63-run partnership. Patel's aggressive 34-run cameo alongside Tristan Stubbs' late surge was crucial, especially on a tricky Feroz Shah Kotla surface that offered challenges for batsmen.

Despite early promise, Delhi's start was marred by untimely dismissals, including a costly run-out. Yet, a partnership between Porel and Rahul revitalized their innings before Patel's fireworks and Stubbs' finish swung the advantage back to Delhi.
