...THE RUN CHASE…
Now the total is not a big one and Delhi should fancy themselves to chase this down. Their batters though have not been in the best of touches. Rajasthan, on the other hand, have a good bowling unit. The wicket is offering something for the bowler and if they bowl well, they are going to make it tough for Delhi. Stay tuned for the reply.
Mitchell Marsh is down for a chat. He says that it was nice to get some wickets and they tried hitting the lengths hard keeping big boundaries in the mind. Tells that they bowled well to keep Rajasthan to 160. Mentions that they need to be positive and run hard between the wickets and of they keep wickets in the hand they will be in the chase. Signs off by saying that it will be a great chase.
For Delhi, the Powerplay was good but in the middle overs, their bowlers leaked more runs than they would have liked. Especially, Axar Patel who was not at his best. Kuldeep too bowled well in bits and pieces. Nortje was also on the expensive side. Marsh though did a decent job with the ball. Thakur could also be happy with his figures but Sakariya was the pick of the bowlers by a long way.
Delhi began brilliantly, especially, Chetan Sakariya who got the wicket of Buttler. Their bowlers then managed to keep it tight and they were also rewarded with the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, Ashwin and Devdutt Padikkal did brilliantly. The former counter-attacked and got up a fine half ton. He fell but Padikkal continued. However, they did not get the finish they would have wanted as they kept losing wickets towards the end. Still though, they have a competitive total on the board.
Delhi have done brilliantly in the last few overs to keep Rajasthan at the 160-run mark and they will be very pleased with how things stand at the moment.
