In the 52nd match of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Rajasthan Royals beat rivals Delhi Daredevils by nine wickets with 13 deliveries remaining at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur.
Delhi Daredevils, who chose to bat, got off to a decent start with openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, who had his stumps obliterated by Faulkner, who found his way back to the pavilion
after scoring 11 runs off seven deliveries.
Jayawardene and CM Gautam then took the score to 22, before the latter was dismissed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 after having scored only two runs.
Skipper Jayawardene was then joined by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 and the two halted the bowling onslaught for a while, helping their side reach 47 runs, before Warner became the next casualty, losing his wicket after hitting 13 runs off his bat.
Just when things seemed heading for the worst, Jayawardene and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BJ-Haddin-c1170 Rohrer crafted a belligerent partnership, successfully neutralising the opposition.
This pair helped Delhi Daredevils reach 78 runs, before Trivedi nabbed the prized wicket of Jayawardene for 34.
Rohrer was then joined by KM Jadhav as the two batsmen helped their side pile 154 runs on the board with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jadhav-c65258 unbeaten on 23 and Rohrer on 64.
Requiring 155 runs to win, Rajasthan Royals needed to keep wickets in hand in order to comfortably reach this target. On the other hand, it was imperative for the Delhi Daredevils to put pressure on their opposition right from the start to deny them any
chance of success.
From http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 and AM Rahane opened the innings and in a matter of a few overs managed to secure superiority over their opposition.
The fielding side needed to dismantle this duo as soon as possible; however, the two batsmen were just too good for them and knew just how to manage the run chase.
Finally after conceding 108 run, this partnership was broken on the wicket of Dravid, who was dismissed by Kaul after scoring 53 runs.
Rahane and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 then stayed unbeaten on 63 and 28 runs to see their side cross the finish line in 17.5 overs.
