Inn Break
That's it from this game. At Sharjah, it was always going to be the side that bowls well that takes the honours. This contest was all about that - which side bowled well. Delhi were superb and a touch above on that front and hence deserved the win. Saturday, 10th October 2020, sees a return to double-headers. In the first game, Punjab take on Kolkata, while in the second, Chennai take on Bangalore. The action starts at 1400 Local (1000 GMT). Catch us much in advance for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodnight.
Ravichandran Ashwin is the MAN OF THE MATCH for his exceptional bowling in the Powerplay. He says that most of the Delhi bowlers can bowl well during the Powerplay. States that it is important to put their hands up and volunteer to bowl in the Powerplay. Adds that he is in a really good mental and physical space, notwithstanding the shoulder injury. States that he wants to hit the nets and is eager for practice and to get out on the field and play. Ashwin says that his body is psychologically taking over many a times. Says that he does not want to stretch too much.
Shreyas Iyer, the Delhi skipper, says that he is really happy with the performance. Adds that the wicket was stopping a bit in the second innings. States that they were gonna bowl first as he thought that the pitch will play flat and is happy that things worked out in their favour. Is happy with the support staff for the way they are conducting team meetings as well. Goes onto say that they have worked hard and everyone is taking responsibilities and they are progressing well. States that they have to be consistent in their approach and they need to refocus every game.
Shimron Hetmyer is up for a chat. He says that he was working a lot on his fielding during training. Adds that the ball travels here a lot and he backs himself to take these kind of catches. States that it felt great to hit a few balls properly with the bat. Adds that he was training hard and is pleased that it worked out in this game.
Steven Smith, the Rajasthan skipper, says that they are not playing good enough for the 40 overs. Adds that the bowlers did a reasonable job but feels, they gave a few runs in the end. States that they gave 15 to 20 runs too many. Adds that they need to remain positive and the batters need to make contributions at the top of the order. Goes onto say that he spent some time out in the middle but could not get hold of one which he should have. Adds that Stokes is out of quarantine on Saturday and they will have to see if Ben can play on Sunday because he is out of match practice.
Earlier, after winning the toss, Rajasthan opted to field. They were exceptional with the ball and in the field, taking wickets, effecting run outs. They restricted Delhi to 184 and would have fancied a win. But Delhi were a step above and their bowlers executed the plans really well to put Delhi back on top in the points table. Stay tuned for the presentations...
Delhi were really outstanding with the ball. They needed to be as they were defending a rather small total, given the dimensions and prior results at Sharjah. However, they seemed to have taken a cue from Mumbai's game against Hyderabad earlier and have pulled off a wonderful heist. Rabada picked up a 3-fer again, with Ashwin and Stoinis complementing with 2 wickets each. Nortje, Axar and Harshal shared a wicket each. Everyone scripted their names in the wicket table. And oh....needless to add, Delhi were top-notch in the field as well. Truly exceptional, especially Hetmyer with 2 catches and Rabada as well. They were a step above Rajasthan and thoroughly deserved the win.
Jaiswal started stroking after Samson's departure but it was pretty short-lived. He perished after making 34 off 36 balls. And after that, Rajasthan had pinned their hopes on Tewatia, hoping he can pull off another marvel again. But it was not to be this time as Tewatia fell towards the end and posed no danger at all this time around. Overall, a very poor effort from Rajasthan, with the bat.
Rajasthan would have fancied themselves to ace this chase and get back to winning ways, especially at their much-favoured ground. But they lost Buttler pretty early. After that a recovery of sorts was engineered by Smith and Jaiswal before the skipper fell. Jaiswal was also eating up the deliveries and found the going pretty tough in the middle. Samson's recent poor run of form continued and Lomror was back in the hut quickly as well.
What a win for Delhi, 46 runs, that too in Sharjah. We thought Rajasthan had bowled exceptionally well to restrict Delhi to under 190. They did but Shreyas' men responded with a greater touch. Needless to add that they are proving to be the side to beat in this edition.

OUT! CAUGHT! Another great catch from Shimron Hetmyer! We have seen him take great catches in this match and here is another. Short ball outside off, Gopal hammers it to deep cover. Hetmyer dives forward and takes a good catch. Gopal is waiting. The on-field umpires converge and go upstairs. The soft signal is out. The replays roll in and after a lot of replays, the third umpire gives it out.
Is that a clean catch? The soft signal is out! The third umpire is taking a long time to take a decision and he finally rules it in the favour of Delhi. Shreyas Gopal has to walk back.

DRINKS! Well, we thought Rajasthan had bowled exceptionally well. Delhi's is a notch higher. They have reduced Rajasthan to 90/6 near the end of the 14th over. The Men in Pink need a Tewatia 2.0. Will they get it or are Delhi going to romp home comfortably? We'll find out after the break as Jofra Archer is the new man at the crease. He and Tewatia are the lone little hopes for Rajasthan now.

Rabada misjudges it at first as he runs sideways then he realizes that it will bounce ahead of him and then runs ahead and then dives to take an excellent catch.

Delhi do not take the review. Replays are in and it was pitching outside off stump. Good ball nonetheless, from Nortje.
DRINKS! Delhi have started really well in their defense of 184 as they have prized out the wickets of Jos Buttler and Steven Smith. Their bowlers have done well and they need to continue doing the good work. Rajasthan, on the other hand, need a big partnership with Jaiswal struggling so far and he needs to step it up. Sanju Samson is the next man in.

Anrich Nortje To Steven Smith OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! An excellent catch by Shimron Hetmyer in the deep. Smith likes that shot but this time it proves to be his undoing. Full ball around off, Smith flicks it uppishly towards deep mid-wicket. Shimron Hetmyer is in the deep but it does not go straight to him. It looks to be falling a bit short of him and hence he lunges forward and takes a good low catch. The umpires want to have a look. Replays roll in and after multiple examinations, the third umpire deems it as a clean catch. What a big blow for Rajasthan. They are 56/2. Need 129 in 71 balls.
The umpires want to have a look to see if the catch was taken fairly. Replays are in and.....yes, a fair catch.
Anrich Nortje is back on. 1-0-3-0 so far.
