Rajasthan gave a target of 200 to Delhi

Guwahati (IANS) | Thanks to the brilliant and stormy half-centuries of Yashasvi Jaiswal (60) and Jos Burler (79) and Shimron Hetmyer’s unbeaten 39-run fiery innings, Rajasthan Royals made a strong 199 for four in 20 overs in the IPL match against Delhi Capitals on Saturday. Score made.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl first. Taking advantage of this decision, Rajasthan made a stormy start. Jaiswal hit 20 runs in the first over of Khaleel Ahmed hitting five fours. Jaiswal hit 60 runs in 31 balls with the help of 11 fours and a six. Butler hit 11 fours and a six in his 79 off 51 balls.

Captain Sanju Samson was dismissed for zero and Riyan Parag scored seven runs while Hetmyer hit one four and four sixes in his unbeaten 39 off 21 balls.

The Rajasthan openers set the stage for a big total but the Delhi bowlers made a fine comeback in the middle overs, with Powell and Kuldeep playing a key role. For a time it looked like 200 was a distant link but Hit-Myer said Main Hoon Na and took the team very close to 200.
