4.6 overs (0 Run) A dot to end but back-to-back good overs for Rajasthan! Short and on the body, Jaiswal is beaten for pace and lets it go.

4.5 overs (1 Run) Just the one this time! Shorter and outside off, Ravichandran Ashwin guides it past point, there is a fielder in the deep so only one.

4.4 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Stand and deliver stuff! Length and on off, Ashwin hits it on the up, through covers. It races away to the fence. Second boundary in the over. Ashwin is on a roll here. This one is a superb shot.

4.3 overs (0 Run) Mistimed but safe! Fuller and on off, Ravichandran Ashwin looks to go downtown but it goes more off the splice, lands well short of the mid off fielder.

4.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! That is a really good shot and now runs have started to flow for Rajasthan! On middle, fuller, this is whipped over mid-wicket for a boundary.

4.1 overs (0 Run) Length and on off, Ravichandran Ashwin pushes it to covers.

3.6 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Over the fence! Excellent batting from Yashasvi Jaiswal! Just used the pace of the bowler. Short and outside off, Yashasvi Jaiswal stands tall and upper cuts it over third man for a biggie. A good way to end a good over for Rajasthan.

3.5 overs (1 Run) Ashwin takes one now! Outside off, this is guided down to third man for one.

3.4 overs (0 Run) Angled into the pads, Ashwin looks to flick but misses to get hit high on the pads.

3.3 overs (1 Run) Shorter and outside off, Yashasvi Jaiswal looks to cut, it goes off the underedge on the off side for one.

3.2 overs (0 Run) Fuller and on off, Yashasvi Jaiswal pushes it to mid off.

3.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! What a shot that is! Beautiful! Fuller and on off, this is driven, with the full face of the bat, down to long off for a boundary.

2.6 overs (0 Run) End of an oustanding over from Chetan Sakariya! Length and on middle, defended.

2.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the man! That is a huge wicket and well deserved too! Chetan Sakariya has been outstanding so far and he gets he big fish. Goes fuller, this one shapes back in, it ends up on middle. Buttler whips it uppishly but straight to the man at mid on. A low score for Buttler and Delhi have got off to the perfect start. Not a lot wrong with the shot, he just did not find the gap. He had got it off the middle but not the gap.

Ravichandran Ashwin walks in at number 3.

2.5 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Slips this one down the leg side. Buttler looks to flick but misses. Wided.

2.4 overs (0 Run) 4 dots in a row now! Length and on off, Jos Buttler guides it to point.

1.2 overs (1 Run) Short and outside off, Buttler cuts, it goes down to third man for one.

1.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Finds the gap and that is the first boundary of the game! A full toss on off, Buttler creams it through covers for a boundary. A gift by Anrich Nortje first up and Buttler takes full toll of it.

0.5 over (0 Run) Yet again a length ball on middle, Buttler pushes it to mid off.

0.4 over (0 Run) Chetan Sakariya was certain he had Jos! Pant though knew it was off the back pad and it indeed did clip the flap. Excellent decision from Pant to not review. That though is a beauty! Length and on middle, this lands and then moves away. Jos is squared up as he tries to defend. There is a sound as it goes past the batter. A huge appeal but turned down. Chetan Sakariya was usually getting the ball back in to the right-hander but this time he took it away.

0.3 over (1 Run) Back of a length and on off, YJ stands tall and guides it through point for one.

0.1 over (1 Run) Yashasvi Jaiswal starts off with a very confident walk down the wicket. Chetan Sakariya bangs it short and gets it to bounce nicely. Yashasvi Jaiswal looks to fend it away, it goes off the glove on the leg side for one. Rajasthan and Yashasvi Jaiswal are underway!

We are all set to begin! Delhi players are out there in the middle. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the openers for Rajasthan. Chetan Sakariya to start with the ball for Delhi. Here we go...

David Warner is down for a chat. He says that it is a do-or-die game for them and there were a few hiccups here and there and adds that they are ready to go. Tells that it is all about sticking to the basics and keeping it as simple as they can. Mentions that against Chennai they were batting at just one tempo and failed to rotate the strike which they can learn from that game. Tells that for him it is all about batting well for the first 6 overs and taking the game as deep as he can and that helps other batters to take on. Signs off by saying that he is absolutely loving his time in the Indian T20 League.

Rajasthan (Playing XI) - Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (C) (WK), Devdutt Padikkal, Rassie van der Dussen (In place of Shimron Hetmyer), Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Sen.

Delhi (Playing XI) - Srikar Bharat, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (C) (WK), Rovman Powell, Lalit Yadav (In place of Ripal Patel), Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Kuldeep Yadav, Chetan Sakariya (In place of Khaleel Ahmed), Anrich Nortje.

Sanju Samson, the skipper of Rajasthan, says they do not mind setting a total as they have been doing it well. Informs Rassie van der Dussen comes in for Shimron Hetmyer. Adds they would like to continue to play some good cricket. Reckons the wicket might be a little sticky to begin with but he is looking forward to bat on it.

Rishabh Pant, the skipper of Delhi, says the wicket seems on the drier side and there might be dew and hence, they want to bowl first. States they only want to think about positives at the moment. Adds they want to take more wickets in the middle overs. Reckons 140 to 160 will be good to chase. Informs they have two changes as Khaleel Ahmed and Ripal go out.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Delhi. They have elected to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Graeme Swann is down for the pitch report. He says that boundaries are big on one side and small on the other. Tells that it looks like a fairly good pitch and there is even covering of grass. Adds that some part of the pitch is hard but very dry and it will be tricky to bat second. Mentions that the skipper that wins the toss will look to bat first and overall it is a fairly good pitch first up and will help spinners later on.

Delhi have struggled to win two games in a row. They have been pretty inconsistent but can't afford anymore slip ups now. They face a big challenge against Rajasthan who after a couple of slip ups have got back to winning ways and will be eager to continue that. They will be without the services of Shimron Hetmyer and that surely is a big blow for them. However, a win here will see them have one foot in the playoffs. They also won the earlier encounter between the two sides. Can they do the double? Or will Delhi manage to keep their hopes alive? We shall find out. Toss and team sheets in a while.

The race for the top 4 spots is heating up and two teams looking to finish in one of those positions will be battling it out today. It is Delhi against Rajasthan. One sits 5th in the table and the other at the 3rd spot. A win for Rajasthan could see them go to second. Whereas, a win for Delhi will see them lessen the margin with the teams above. A lot at stake. Welcome to the coverage.
