Match over
1.1 : 1.1: Mahipal Lomror to Shikhar Dhawan, FOUR! Through the gap! Shorter ball, outside off. Dhawan slaps it. The man at point dives to his right but cannot get to the ball. It goes between point and backward point for a boundary.
3.1: Kartik Tyagi to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! BOWLED! Tyagi is the man with Midas touch! He starts with a length ball, on middle. Dhawan looks to block it from the crease but gets the inside edge. The ball rolls back and hits the stumps to dislodge the bails! Dhawan tries to push it away but fails to do so and he has to depart. A big wicket for Rajasthan as Dhawan has been in good form.
4.1: Chetan Sakariya to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! TAKEN! Both the openers are back in the hut in no time. Sakaria steams and bowls a full ball, outside off, it's a slower ball as well. Prithvi Shaw stays back and tries to lift it over mid off but does not middle it. The ball goes high up in the air and towards mid off where Liam Livingstone strides to his left and takes a simple catch. He is not dropping those.
5.1: Kartik Tyagi to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! SLAPPED! A length ball, on off. Shreyas Iyer slaps it through covers for a boundary. 
5.4 : 5.4: Kartik Tyagi to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Pulled away! A short ball, down the leg side. Rishabh Pant hangs back and pulls it over short fine leg for a boundary. 
8.3 : 8.3: Tabraiz Shamsi to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Nicely played! Inventive from Pant! Full on middle and leg, Pant goes down on his knees and sweeps it through square leg for a boundary.
9.4 : 9.4: Rahul Tewatia to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! Hammered! Iyer loves taking on the spinners! Flighted outside off, Iyer powers it down the ground for a biggie. First one of the game.
10.3 : 10.3: Tabraiz Shamsi to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! What a shot! Iyer is looking in some form here! Tossed up on off, Iyer makes room and then lifts it over deep cover for a biggie.
11.4 : 11.4: Mustafizur Rahman to Rishabh Pant, OUT! CHOPPED ON! The Fizz strikes and it is a big blow to Delhi! Pant had just started to look threatening but he has to go. The change of bowling works. Slower short ball around off, Pant looks to pull but is way early into the shot. It takes the inside edge and it goes onto hit the stumps. Pant is disappointed as he walks back to the pavilion and end of a very good partnership for Delhi. They would have loved if they could have continued.
13.2 : 13.2: Rahul Tewatia to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! STUMPED! Tewatia sends back Iyer and Delhi slide further! This has been a great show with the ball by Rajasthan. They have never let the Delhi batters tee off. This is tossed up, wide outside off. Iyer looks to smash it over covers but gets no bat on it. Samson takes the bails off in a jiffy and the TV umpire is called in. There is nothing on UltraEdge and one replay is enough to show that Iyer slides his back foot outside the crease but does not get it
14.2: Chetan Sakariya to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! Smacked by Shimron Hetmyer! Short ball, wide outside off. He cuts it over point for a boundary.
14.4 : 14.4: Chetan Sakariya to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! Oh, that is hit hard! Full ball, on off. Shimron Hetmyer hits it down the ground. Miller runs across from long on and dives but has no chance to stop the ball.
15.2 : 15.2: Kartik Tyagi to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! You might have won Rajasthan their last game, but you cannot bowl like that to Shimron Hetmyer! A full toss, outside off. Shimron Hetmyer hits it hard past point for a much-needed boundary.
15.3 : 15.3: Kartik Tyagi to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! And again! Shimron Hetmyer punishes Kartik Tyagi yet again! Short of a length, outside off. Shimron Hetmyer cuts it past point for another boundary.
15.6 : 15.6: Kartik Tyagi to Shimron Hetmyer, FOUR! Oh, this is brilliant batting by Shimron Hetmyer! Shorter ball, outside off. Shimron Hetmyer backs away and then runs the ball over short third man for a boundary. That was a big over for Delhi! 16 from it.
16.3 : 16.3: Mustafizur Rahman to Shimron Hetmyer, OUT! TAKEN! Shimron Hetmyer missed out on the previous delivery and edges this one to short third man! Another perfect yorker-length ball, outside off. Shimron Hetmyer hangs back and looks to squeeze it out but manages a thick outside edge to short third man. Chetan Sakariya takes a very good catch. Delhi 5 down now.
17.6 : 17.6: Kartik Tyagi to Lalit Yadav, FOUR! Swept away! A full ball, very full, around off. Lalit Yadav sweeps it to deep square leg and the ball races away to the fence. 
18.1 : 18.1: Chetan Sakariya to Axar Patel, SIX! Stand and deliver! A length ball, outside off. Axar Patel stands tall and hammers it over long on for a biggie. 
18.2 : 18.2: Chetan Sakariya to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! Delhi are 6 down now! A short ball, way outside off. Axar Patel has to reach out and he gets it off the toe end of his bat. Hits it straight to David Miller at long on who takes a simple catch. 
0.6 : 0.6: Avesh Khan to Liam Livingstone, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Livingstone falls early! Brilliant bowling from Avesh Khan and he gets his reward! He sees Livingstone dancing down the track and changes his length, bowls it short and outside off. Livingstone looks to pull but it goes off the cue end back towards the keeper. Pant dives forward and takes a very good catch. Perfect start for Delhi.
1.1 : 1.1: Anrich Nortje to Yashasvi Jaiswal, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! There is a big spike on UltraEdge and Jaiswal too departs! Another great start from Anrich Nortje. He has been a class bowler so far this season. Good-length ball outside off, Jaiswal looks to drive but seems to have taken the outside edge back to Pant who pouches it. Delhi are confident that they have got their man and appeal but the umpire, Chris Gaffaney is unmoved. Delhi take the review. The UltraEdge rolls in and it shows there is
4.2 : 4.2: Ravichandran Ashwin to David Miller, OUT! STUMPED! Rajasthan slide further as Miller goes back for a timid score. Ashwin tosses this up, outside off. Miller comes down for the big slog but makes no contact with the ball. Pant does the rest behind the stumps and Delhi are on fire out there!
6.3 : 6.3: Ravichandran Ashwin to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Glorious! That is so well executed by Samson! Tossed up, on off. Samson nails the reverse sweep and sends the ball racing to the point fence.

Mahipal Lomror shuffles across and pulls it straight in the hands of Avesh Khan who takes a simple catch at deep backward square leg. A partnership which was building has been broken and Rajasthan slide further.
11.2: Axar Patel to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Welcome boundary for Rajasthan! Slightly shorter, outside off. Sanju Samson waits for it and guides it past short third man for a boundary. 
11.5 : 11.5: Axar Patel to Riyan Parag, OUT! TIMBER! Axar Patel gets a wicket to his name now! Patel angles an arm ball, flatter, quicker and targeting the stumps. Riyan Parag rocks back and looks to pull but fails to get any bat on it. The ball sneaks through and rattles the stumps. 100 needed in 49 balls. 
13.2 : 13.2: Anrich Nortje to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Cleverly played by Samson! Good-length ball outside off, Samson opens the face of the bat and then guides it to third man for a boundary.
14.2: Kagiso Rabada to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Loose delivery from Rabada! Good-length ball on the pads, Samson flicks it past short fine leg for a boundary.
14.5 : 14.5: Kagiso Rabada to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Excellent shot from Samson! Back of a length ball outside off, Samson lifts it over mid off for a boundary. Till Samson is there, Rajasthan are not out of it.
