Match Ended   
149/7 (20.0/20)
210/6 (20.0/20)
Rajasthan Royals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 61 runs
Right then! Every team has now played one match and Rajasthan have become the first team this year to win the match batting first. They shoot up to the top given their healthy net run rate. The action continues in the Indian T20 League on Wednesday, the 30th of March as the two familiar foes, Bangalore and Kolkata square off against each other. That match begins at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) but the build-up will begin much earlier as usual. Till then, goodbye and take care!
Sanju Samson, the Rajasthan captain is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his fiery half-century earlier in the evening. He says that it was a very different wicket than they thought and if one bowled the Test match lengths, the pacers got a lot of purchase. Adds that they are not looking at long-term goals at the moment and just want to focus on the next match. Adds that in the preparation leading up to the tournament, he just looked to learn about more game awareness and got to know more about what to do in certain situations. Also adds that when there are minds like Sangakara in the camp, it helps a lot. He ends by saying that it's a tough tournament and the key is to stay with the core of players throughout and they will just like to keep things simple.
The Presentation ceremony...
Prasidh Krishna is down for a chat. He says he enjoyed the surface. Says he aimed to hit the hard length and is glad it worked out for him. Mentions, they had already planned about it and hence also had two slips in place. Says, they couldn’t have asked for a better start. Adds, the pressure that Boult put from the other end really helped him to take the wickets.
Kane Williamson, the Hyderabad skipper is up for a quick chat. He thinks they started beautifully with the ball. Adds in the end things did not go their way. Mentions there are a few things they need to look into and would like to improve on their weak spots. Adds, to take a wicket off a no ball is never nice. Says there are a number of things they cannot control. Hopes Umran Malik just keeps moving up the ladder with each game. Says, they will sit together as a side, also as they have a little break before their next game. As a young side, they will focus on learning from each game. Ends by saying Rajasthan were truly the better side tonight.
When you have a score in excess of 200 in a T20 match, you're already halfway there. The only thing that can make it better is an early wicket, Rajasthan did get that, well they got 3 early wickets and the match was won then and there. Prasidh Krishna was simply outstanding at the start as he got two wickets and Trent Boult supported him really well. In the middle overs, Yuzvendra Chahal cleaned up 3 more of the recognized batters and Ravichandran Ashwin too was economical. The only bowler who had an off day was Nathan Coulter-Nile and he was really hammered to all parts of the ground and his night got worse when he had to limp off in the final over, hope he is back in no time. Rajasthan will be mightily pleased with that effort though.
Hyderabad have started from where they left off in the last season and generally, that is a good sign but when you've had a miserable campaign last time, it isn't the start you're looking for. Right from the first over, Kane Williamson looked under pressure and it was telling as he fell in the second over. Big hitters like Rahul Tripathi and Nicholas Pooran followed suit as both got out for a duck and Hyderabad found themselves pushed firmly up against a wall. Only Aiden Markram and Romario Shepherd put up a stand and Washington Sundar had one big over in which he took NCN to the cleaners. Markram did get to a deserving fifty and in the end, the wicket looked like it was a batting paradise. Apart from this, it was an abysmal batting display at the top from Hyderabad and they have a lot to ponder upon.
What an emphatic way to get the campaign underway from Rajasthan! They have demolished Hyderabad tonight and maybe have sent a message to all the other teams that they have the muscle with the bat as well as with the ball and they can defeat any team on a given day. Hyderabad on the other hand have gone down fighting, but the fight came a bit too late from their end.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Washington Sundar
Touch short, on off. Washington Sundar pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a brace. It could've been curtains for Aiden Markram, if Yuzvendra Chahal would've knocked the stumps off at the non-striker's end.
Strategic Time-Out! Rajasthan have the game in bag and it has been a completely dominant bowling performance from them. After the brilliant start by their pacers, Ravichandran Ashwin has held up one end well and this has allowed Yuzvendra Chahal to be attacking with the ball and he has picked up 3 wickets. The only decent partnership for Hyderabad, between Romario Shepherd and Aiden Markram has now been broken and it is now only a question of by how many runs they lose tonight. Markram though will be looking to get to his fifty. Washington Sundar comes in to bat next.

Strategic Time-Out! Well, with 182 required to win off just 70 balls and 4 wickets back in the hut, Hyderabad will need a miracle of gigantic proportions to win the match. The pitch always had something in it for the pacers and Trent Boult and especially Prasidh Krishna have been able to take full advantage of it. They have rocked the Hyderabad top order and Yuzvendra Chahal too has picked up a wicket. Kane Williamson and his fellow batters have failed miserably so far and with the pressure on getting higher, they might just fall like nine pins here. Also, Abdul Samad walks in to bat next.

Prasidh Krishna To Aiden Markram
BEATEN! Prasidh Krishna has given only 2 runs in 3 overs with 2 wickets to his name. A dream debut for him with Rajasthan. It is on a length, outside off. Aiden Markram looks to defend it out but gets beaten on the outside edge. Hyderabad are 14/3 at the end of Powerplay.

Trent Boult To Nicholas Pooran OUT!
OUT! LBW! Three of the biggest names in the Hyderabad batting line up are back in the hut! Trent Boult kept on taking it away from the left-hander but now goes a bit fuller and angles it on the pads. Nicholas Pooran looks to work it leg side but misses and gets pinged on the pads. There is a huge appeal from the bowler and the finger is raised. This seems to be pretty plumb and that's why Pooran doesn't even review it. The replay shows that it was crashing into leg stump. Hyderabad almost out of the contest inside the Powerplay itself!

Prasidh Krishna To Rahul Tripathi OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! A jaffa from Prasidh Krishna and he is getting the ball to talk! Krishna hits the length hard, at around 137 clicks and bowls it on the fifth stump line. Rahul Tripathi hangs back and looks to cut but the ball just shoots up off the surface, taking the batter by surprise and Tripathi can do nothing. The ball takes the outside edge and Sanju Samson takes a sharp catch behind the sticks. Rajasthan off to a perfect start with the ball and another big fish departs.

Prasidh Krishna To Kane Williamson OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Kane Williamson doesn't seem happy with it and reckons the ball has bounced in front of the field but he has to depart. Brilliant catch though from Devdutt Padikkal at first slip. A length ball, around the top of off. Williamson gets pushed onto the back foot as he looks to push it out. He plays at it with hard hands and gets the outside edge. Sanju Samson springs to his right and gets it off the gloves. Padikkal is alive to the situation and dives in front to take the catch. The decision is sent upstairs and the soft signal is out. It is a tough one but the third umpire has no conclusive evidence that the ball has bounced before getting pouched. Prasidh Krishna has the big fish. Rahul Tripathi is the new man in.
Is that a clean catch? The umpires converge and take it upstairs to confirm. After several replays the third umpire is satisfied that Devdutt Padikkal had his fingers underneath the ball, so Kane Williamson does have to walk off.

Trent Boult To Kane Williamson
Boult starts off with a lovely in-dipper! Length, on off and shaping back in beautifully, Kane Williamson gets cut it half as he tries to block and misses. The ball hits him high on the back leg and Boult appeals. The appeal is quickly turned down, maybe just too high.
