They got rid of Smith when the score was 12 and soon the explosive batsman- Yousaf Pathan was bowled by Nehra. Watson and Swapnil Asnodkar took the score to 74 before loosing Watson. Watson scored 32 and once he was out, it looked almost all over for Rajasthan Royals. The wickets started to fell like heap of cards and it was no longer before Rajasthan Royals were all out for 103 in just 16.2 overs.
