The Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Dredevils is being played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321 Dravid held a well judged catch at first slip. Sehwag had scored four runs and the
total was five for one. David Warner was joined by young http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Johan-Botha-c67173 with his personal score of 11 runs.
29-2 and the teenager Unmukt Chand walked on to the field, managing just a single in his first eight balls. Shane Warne inducted himself to bowl in the seventh over and produced a magical spell of artistic spin. He took the wicket of Chand on the first ball
when Dravid held a rebound catch from the keepers’ gloves. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naman-Ojha-c2057 came in next and, wanting to accelerate, was beaten by the flight and caught at backward point by Tait on the third ball of the same over. Both wickets fell at the total of 36 runs in 7.3
overs which put Delhi Daredevils in all sorts of trouble.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Venugopal-Rao-c2752 walked in and joined Warner who was stranded at the other end as the wickets were tumbling around him. Both crafted the innings and a fifty partnership was posted on the last ball of the 15th over when Rao lifted Botha over mid wicket
boundary for a splendid six.
The innings was now in full gear and both batsmen started punishing the bowlers. Warner was more aggressive and completed his fifty on the second ball of the 17th over by dispatching a four. He was the fifth man out after scoring 54 runs assisted
with a six and six fours.
Rao took charge of the situation after the departure of Warner, hammered the bowlers all around and top scored with 60 runs in 40 balls with the help of four sixes and an equal number fours.
Tait and Warne were the most successful bowlers of Rajasthan Royals with two wickets each as Amit Singh claimed one wicket.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals have to play sensibly to achieve the target.
