Rajasthan Royals have scored 115/9 in their 20 overs against Delhi Capitals at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi on Saturday. Winning the toss, Rajasthan Royals captain Ajinkya Rahane decided his team would bat first. Ishant Sharma (3/38) got the home team off to a perfect start, capturing the wickets of openers Rahane (2) and Liam Livingstone (14) in successive overs. Sanju Samson (5) was run out after a mix-up with his partner Mahipal Lomror (8) as the wickets kept falling. Amit Mishra (3/17) then came up with a killer blow, taking two wickets in consecutive balls - Shreyas Gopal (12) and Stuart Binny (0) falling to him in successive balls. He could have captured a hat-trick as well, which would have been his third in IPL history, but Trent Boult missed an easy catch. Young Riyan Parag (50) anchored the RR innings, even taking 18 runs off Ishant's last over. He never had any partners sticking with him for long enough though, as only Livingstone and Shreyas Gopal managed to reach double figures. He hit Trent Boult for two sixes in the 20th over to bring up his fifty, thus becoming the youngest player in IPL history to score a fifty. The home team has enjoyed a great season, and will be aiming for a finish within the top two places of the IPL Points Table with a win. RR, on the other hand, will need to win their last match and also hope results go their way in other matches to stand any chance of qualifying for the playoffs. (LIVE SCORECARD)

  • 17:39 (IST)May 04, 2019
    Parag does what he had in mind. Boult got taken to the cleaners by MS Dhoni in the last over the other day. Will Riyan Parag follow up on Dhoni's act? Five balls to go.
  • 17:38 (IST)May 04, 2019
    Parag refuses the single off the last ball of the 19th over. Wants to take strike for the last over. On 37 now. Can he inch his own score close to 50 and consequently his team's score closer to 120?
  • 17:35 (IST)May 04, 2019
    Keemo Paul has to leave the field with an injury. Something wrong with his toe. Seen having problems landing on his feet. Word coming in that he has contracted cramps. Sherfane Rutherford to bowl the five remaining balls of the 19th over.

    Hit well on the off side. Fifteen runs off this over now. Two balls left. Parag into his 30s. Has narrowly missed out on the record of being the youngest IPL half-centurion twice this season. Can he clinch it today?
  • 17:21 (IST)May 04, 2019

    3/20 in his three overs so far. Can he finish off with a flourish?
  • 17:14 (IST)May 04, 2019
    It's not much, but it's the best Rajasthan Royals have had to offer today. Riyan Parag has been their top scorer. The boundaries have been hard to come by for him as well though.

    Solid shot but not solid enough. Straight down Ishant's throat at long off. Mishra gets his third wicket! RR sink lower down the hole they have dug for themselves. 65/7.
  • 17:02 (IST)May 04, 2019

  • 16:59 (IST)May 04, 2019
    Hat-trick missed. Mishra's disappointment will know no end. Gowtham, the new man in, hit a terrible shot and the ball looped up in the air. Trent Boult got around to the catch but misjudged it. Ball fell through his palms. Oh Mishi bhai! Could have been a third hat-trick in IPL history for him. Gowtham survives, Rajasthan's sorry innings drags on.

    Mishra gets the very next ball to kiss Binny's outside edge and go behind for a catch for the keeper. Two wickets in two balls. Mishra on a hat-trick. RR on the ropes! 57/6
  • 16:55 (IST)May 04, 2019

    Gopal on 4 from 8 balls. Parag on 2 off 7 balls. Parag has doffed his helmet now that Mishra is on. Rajasthan Royals in no hurry to up the ante.
