In a ran hit match, Rajasthan Royals beat Delhi Daredevils by 10 runs under the D-L method. The revised target for Delhi was 71 from 36 balls. But Delhi batsmen could not clear the fence as they would have liked. Ben Lughlin was the pick of the bowler as he bowled clinical spells and took wickets.
Put into bat first, Rajasthan Royals made 153-5 in 17.5 overs when rain struck. The shower was heavy and it consumed a lot of time for the ground staff to clear the puddles. The revised target for Delhi Daredevils is 71 from 6 overs. Here are the revised playing conditions:
Target 71, Powerplay of 2 overs and every bowler can bowl a maximum of 2 overs.
Delhi Daredevils innings: Over by over
Over1: Maxwell and Colin Munro came in. Krishnappa Gowtham started off with the ball. And a first ball run out. Horrible mixup, brilliant throw, and Munro is gone. Rishab Pant comes in. Four. Cracking straight drive. Four down the fine leg. Pant is on fire. End of the over: DD 10-1
