| 1.1 : 1.1: Jofra Archer to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! What a way to welcome Jofra Archer! Archer is under pressure straightaway! Fullish ball outside off, Shaw lunges forward and creams the drive through the covers for a boundary. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Jofra Archer to Shikhar Dhawan, OUT! CAUGHT! There's the first wicket for Jofra Archer in the Powerplay this season! This was not a wicket-taking delivery but he won't mind as Dhawan gifts his wicket away. Shikhar Dhawan has not got going in this tournament and he fails yet again.Good length ball on the pads, Dhawan flicks but it is uppish and goes straight to Yashasvi Jaiswal at mid-wicket. Good start from Jofra Archer. |
| 2.3: Varun Aaron to Shreyas Iyer, NO BALL AND FOUR! This was not a bad delivery but excellent batting from Iyer. Back of a length ball outside off, Iyer makes room and then cuts it through cover-point for a boundary. A Free Hit will follow. |
| 2.3: Varun Aaron to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Iyer makes use of the Free Hit! Short ball around middle, Iyer rocks on his back foot and then pulls it to the deep mid-wicket region for another boundary. |
| 2.6 : 2.6: Varun Aaron to Prithvi Shaw, SIX! That's adding insult to injury! What a response from Shaw! Good length ball on middle, Shaw smacks it over the bowler's head for a maximum. |
| 3.4 : 3.4: Kartik Tyagi to Shreyas Iyer, EDGY FOUR! He is bowling outside off because of the protection available on the off side but not sure if it is going as per the plan. Fullish, outside off, Iyer throws the kitchen sink at it. It comes off a thick outside edge and goes over short third man for a boundary. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Jofra Archer to Prithvi Shaw, FOUR! Pulled away nicely! Short ball around middle, Shaw gets into position quickly and then pulls it to the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Jofra Archer to Prithvi Shaw, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Archer has the last laugh and this is a super, super catch from the speedster. Shaw will be disappointed with that as he was looking good and he needed to make use of the opportunity. He got dropped earlier but not this time. Short ball from Archer, Shaw looks to pull but gets a top edge and it goes way up in the air towards square leg. Archer calls for it and then tumbles to take a very good catch. Rajasthan have taken two in the Po |
| 5.2: Andrew Tye to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! Beautiful shot from Shreyas Iyer! Quality shot! Back of a length ball outside off, Iyer drives it through covers for a boundary. |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Andrew Tye to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! RUN OUT! What an excellent piece of fielding! Shreyas Iyer will rue it as he was in good form and will be disappointed. This though is brilliant work from Yashasvi Jaiswal! He was involved in a catch earlier on and now is into the thick of things with a run out. Good length ball on off, Iyer pushes it wide of the cover fielder. Iyer takes off for a single but then sees that Jaiswal has dived to make the stop. Iyer turns back while Jaiswal has a shy at the |
| 6.4 : 6.4: Shreyas Gopal to Marcus Stoinis, SIX! He is a strong man, Stoinis. Flatter ball, he rocks back just like in the first ball. This time though, he powers it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 6.5 : 6.5: Shreyas Gopal to Marcus Stoinis, SIX! Not good bowling from Gopal, going short again. Marcus goes back and pulls this over mid-wicket. It was a flat six. |
| 8.3 : 8.3: Shreyas Gopal to Marcus Stoinis, SIX! Up, up and away! Full ball outside off, the opportunity to free the arms. Stoinis does so and powers this over wide long off. |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Rahul Tewatia to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! RUN OUT! Again, confusion between the two Delhi batters. What is happening here? Floated around off and middle, Stoinis tucks it towards mid on. Pant does not look at Stoinis. He takes off, Stoinis then shouts a loud no. But it is all too late. The substitute fielder throws the ball at the bowler's end and Tewatia whips the bails off. Pant is a goner. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Rahul Tewatia to Marcus Stoinis, SIX! Good response from Marcus Stoinis! Floated ball around off, Stoinis whacks it over long off for a biggie. |
| 12.3: Andrew Tye to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! That is what Hetmyer can do. Shortish ball on middle and leg, Hetmyer uses the pace and pulls it effortlessly over deep square leg. |
| 13.3: Rahul Tewatia to Marcus Stoinis, OUT! CAUGHT! This is a soft dismissal. There have been plenty of soft dismissals in this game so far. Flatter one outside off, pitches and spins away further. Stoinis cuts, had he left it would have probably been a wide. But cannot blame him, it is that stage where you go after the balls. He goes after it. However he gets it uppishly and only as far as the Rajasthan skipper, Smith, at cover-point. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Kartik Tyagi to Shimron Hetmyer, SIX! Absolutely brilliant from Hetmyer! Short ball around the pads, Hetmyer pulls it over fine leg for a maximum. |

| 18.5 : 18.5: Andrew Tye to Axar Patel, FOUR! Brilliant, just brilliant from Axar Patel! These runs are hurting Rajasthan! Short ball around off, Patel rocks on his back foot and pulls it to the deep-wicket region for a boundary. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Andrew Tye to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! Thinnest of edges back to the keeper and Axar Patel has to go after playing a fine cameo. Good length ball outside off, Patel looks to drive but gets a faint edge back to Buttler who makes no mistake. End of a tough day at the office for Andrew Tye. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Jofra Archer to Harshal Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! Archer gets his third! He has been brilliant in this game! This is a brilliant last over so far! Good length ball on middle, Patel looks to heave it to the leg side but gets a top edge towards the deep mid-wicket region where Tewatia takes a good catch. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Kagiso Rabada to Jos Buttler, FOUR! Bowl there at your own risk, Rabada. Too easy for Buttler. Full and down the leg side, Buttler helps it on its way to the fine leg fence. |
| 0.5 : 0.5: Kagiso Rabada to Jos Buttler, FOUR! 8 runs for Buttler already. Fullish ball on off, Buttler plays it nicely through the ground towards backward square leg. The fielder there dives but it goes through him and into the ropes. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Ravichandran Ashwin to Jos Buttler, OUT! CAUGHT! What a catch! Shikhar Dhawan it is. Ashwin floats this around off, Buttler looked to go big over square leg.

| 3.5 : 3.5: Kagiso Rabada to Steven Smith, SIX! Just over Dhawan at square leg. Pitched up full around off, Smith flicks it uppishly and over Dhawan at deep square leg for a maximum. Dhawan jumped to try to get a hold of it but it went through. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: Kagiso Rabada to Steven Smith, FOUR! A boundary to finish now. Short ball, Smith sort of sways away and yet offers a pull. Gets it to the fine leg fence. What an unorthodox shot! |
| 5.2 : 5.2: Harshal Patel to Yashasvi Jaiswal, SIX! That should ease the nerves for the young man, Jaiswal. Good length ball around off, Jaiswal heaves it over mid-wicket for a maximum. |
| 6.2: Ravichandran Ashwin to Steven Smith, FOUR! Bowl short and he will punish you. Shorter ball, Smith pulls it and bisects the fielders at deep mid-wicket and long on and bags a boundary. |
| 8.1 : 8.1: Anrich Nortje to Steven Smith, OUT! CAUGHT! An excellent catch by Shimron Hetmyer in the deep. Smith likes that shot but this time it proves to be his undoing. Full ball around off, Smith flicks it uppishly towards deep mid-wicket. Shimron Hetmyer is in the deep but it does not go straight to him. It looks to be falling a bit short of him and hence he lunges forward and takes a good low catch. The umpires want to have a look. Replays roll in and after multiple examinations, the third ump |

He started the tournament so well but now has failed for four successive times. Good length ball on off, Samson looks to go big over deep mid-wicket but does not time it as well as he would have liked. It goes way up in the air and towards Shimron Hetmyer at deep mid-wicket. Shimron makes no mistake and Delhi are on top. 113 needed from 57 balls. |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Ravichandran Ashwin to Mahipal Lomror, OUT! CAUGHT! Another one bites the dust! Lomror also goes and Rajasthan are crumbling in Sharjah! Ashwin returns and strikes immediately. Loopy ball on middle, Lomror looks to flick but it takes the leading edge and goes towards cover where Axar Patel takes a simple catch. All eyes will be on Jaiswal now. 109 needed from 52 balls. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: Ravichandran Ashwin to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Cracked! Jaiswal needs more of these to gain confidence and for his team! Floated ball on middle, Jaiswal goes on his knees and then slog sweeps it through deep square leg for a boundary. |

Rabada misjudges it at first as he runs sideways then he realizes that it will bounce ahead of him and then runs ahead and then dives to take an excellent catch.
