Rajasthan Royals back in form, beaten Delhi Daredevils

Rajasthan Royals are hitting it hard this time after the match with Delhi Daredevils on 28th april. Again the Royals are back in form exactly when they were supposed to be out of the tournament. In the morning Sehwag won the toss and took batting first. Again a bad open for the Delhi Daredevils, both openers were gone till 25 on the scorecard. AB de Villiers and the tail enders took some charge and finally AB de Villiers could manage up to 143/7 in 20.0 overs.

Chasing a low total, Rajasthan Royals were also not good in the start of the game. But from one end, Graeme Smith was holding line, who made 44 of 46 deliveries. And then comes the finisher, the superhero of 2008 IPL, Yusuf Pathan hit 61 of just 30 balls. These 61 includes the really big six sixes. Thus the score was 147/5 in 18.3 overs. Rajasthan Royals beat Delhi Daredevils by 5 wickets.
