Man of the match – Ajinkya Rahane

The poor performance by Delhi continued as they suffered yet another defeat as Rajasthan Royals impressive all round performance helped them win by 64 runs today.

Chasing 202 to win, Delhi never looked in contention for the run chase. Right from the very first over the batsmen looked in pressure and as the first wicket fell in the third over when the score was just 19, wickets started to fell after regular intervals. Mayank Agarwal was the first to fall followed by Dinesh Karthik. Delhi’s hope were on captain Pieterson and JP Duminy but they failed and with their fall, Delhi looked in dire circumstances. Delhi were struggling at 48/4 in 7.4 overs and it looked that they might not be even able to play their complete 20 overs. But Manoj Tiwary stood firm and scored brilliant 61 runs off 44 balls but his efforts went in vain as no other Delhi batsmen could stand up and deliver. Evntually Delhi were able to post 139/9 in 20 overs and thus lost the match by 62 runs.
