IPL Game 3 - Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi

Game 3 of the IPL is already underway. This game is between Delhi and Rajasthan, with Rajasthan winning the toss and deciding to bat.

So far it hasn't been a good decision with the Royals in early trouble, 4/57 after 10 overs. Top score so far has been Shane Watson's 21 before he was run out by the Dhawan/Bhatia combination. It's been good bowling so far from Delhi, the retired Glenn McGrath still has the skills, 1/13 off three overs including a maiden. something unheard of in Twenty20 cricket. Farveez Maharoof also has a wicket with two of the four wickets so far being run outs.

Delhi Daredevils XI: *V Sehwag, G Gambhir, S Dhawan, MK Tiwary, +KD Karthik, R Bhatia, M Manhas, DL Vettori, MF Maharoof, B Geeves, GD McGrath

Rajasthan Royals XI: T Kohli, YK Pathan, SR Watson, M Kaif, DS Lehmann, RA Jadeja, +M Rawat, D Salunkhe, *SK Warne, SK Trevedi, MM Patel

Another wicket! Mohammad Kaif paddles one round the corner off Bhatia but Brett Geeves is waiting and takes the catch.

5/58 in the 11th over, the Royals are in big trouble.

Another wicket down, Rawat, the wicketkeeper is bowled trying to paddle around his legs but is bowled.

6/71 after 12.1 overs.

Vettori strikes!! The previous ball he is hot for a big six but takes a wicket next ball, getting Jadeja with the quicker ball.

That recovery was only shortlived, 7/93 after 14.2 overs.

Farveez Maharoof gets another wicket. This time it's the Royals captain, Shane Warne who inside edges the ball onto his pad and then onto the stumps.

8/110 in the 18th over. Salunkhe is still there on 10 from 10 balls.

Rajasthan finish on 8/129, Salunkhe remains not out on 26, the Royals second top scorer.

Maharoof and Bhatia lead the wicket getters with two each whilst McGrath and Vettori snared one wicket with two run outs also adding to the wicket tally.

Delhi have done well to restrict Rajasthan to such a modest total, perhaps there's a few demons in the pitch we don't know about? We'll find out soon enough.

Good start from Delhi, Gambhir cracked two fours off Munaf Patel and then Sehwag hit three fours in a row off Shane Watson before succumbing next ball for 12.

1/25 in the 3rd over.

100 up for Delhi, they've done it with little fuss too. Not even Shane Warne can stop the Daredevils here. They're 1/100 after 12 overs, Gambhir is 52 and Dhawan 32.
 
Re: IPL Game 3 - Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals at Feroz Shah Kotla, Delhi

Delhi had little trouble with total. They reached 1/132 from only 15.1 overs, Gambhir made 58 not out with Dhawan scoring 52 not out.

So an easy win to Delhi, Farveez Maharoof was Man of the Match for his 2/11 off four overs.
