As the opening two batsmen, Delhi Capitals sent out Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw. Shikhar Dhawan has not been in good form this IPL. He hoped to make some amends tonight. He started well hitting Varun Aaron for a boundary in the first over but in the second over which was bowled by Joffra Archer, he hit the ball straight to a fielder and lost his wicket. Shreyas Iyer replaced him.
They say you need some luck in sports occasionally, and that's exactly what happened with Prithvi Shaw. In the second over, he went for the lofted shot, but Tyagi dropped t
Things were about to get worse for Delhi Capitals as next over Yashasvi Jaiswal did well in the field and sent Shreyas Iyer packing with a direct hit.
Marcus Stoinis came to the middle. He has been in good touch this IPL and he hit Shreyas Gopal for 2 sixes. Stoinis and Shreyas Iyer tried to stabilize the DC ship but in the 10th over, there was a communication mismatch between the two, and Shreyas Iyer was run out. Shimron Hetmyer joined Stoinis.
10 overs were done and Deccan Chargers were 87 runs for 4 wickets. Next few overs, the Rajasthan Royals managed to keep things tight. In the 14th overs, Rahul Tewatia took the big wicket of Stoinis who got a slight nick and Steve Smith did the rest with a good catch. Shimron Hetmyer was still there and he gave his team some momentum by hitting a few boundaries and sixes.

RAJASTHAN ROYALS INNINGS
Rajasthan Royals began their innings with Jos Butler and Yashavi Jaiswal. They lost their first wicket in the 3rd over as Shikhar Dhawan took a good catch to dismiss Butler. Steve Smith joined Yashavi Jaiswal. Delhi Capitals kept up the pressure with a few good overs and RR ended the first powerplay with 41 on the scoreboard with the loss of 1 wicket.

What I liked most about this game is was the Delhi Capital's bowling. They bowled in tandem and never let Rajasthan Royals off the hook.
