Wednesday Recap

The game was delayed due to rain and thunderstorms, which saw it initially reduced to an 18-over match.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl with Delhi Daredevils sending out Prithvi Shaw and Colin Munro as their openers.

It was a tough start for Delhi who lost Munro for a duck as he was caught by Jos Buttler off a Dhawal Kulkarni inswinger.

However, the Daredevils rallied and were inspired by some brilliant hitting from Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. The trio powered Delhi to 196/6 after 17.1 overs before bad weather intervened again.

Cricket statistician Mohandas Menon showed how impressive the youngsters were:

When the covers came off, Rajasthan Royals were left to chase a revised run total of 151 off 12 overs and opened with D'Arcy Short and Buttler.

Buttler was in inspirational form as he hit 54 off just 18 balls to net a new club record, per ESPNcricinfo:

He eventually fell to Amit Mishra, but Short kept going and managed 44. However, it was not enough for Rajasthan who fell just short in a dramatic finish.

It's a much-needed win for Delhi Daredevils who are back in action on Saturday when they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Rajasthan drop to seventh in the table and face Kings XI Punjab on Sunday.
