Ravichandran Ashwin is named Man of the Match

"One of the important things about this attack is that most of the bowlers can bowl at any time. I know my role comes up when the game is nicely poised. You have to be brave at that time and put your hand up. Today the ball was soaking well, and the sweat didn't help much."

That's it, DC win by 46 runs. RR bowled out for 138 in 19.4 overs, in their reply to DC's 184/8. Rabada gets his third wicket, Pant collects catch to dismiss Varun Aaron and finish the match. DC on top of the table.

OUT! Rabada strikes, his second wicket tonight, slower ball, going away from Tewatia, he swung hard at it to off side, but the ball instead took the inside edge on to the stumps. Nine down RR. Rahul Tewatia b Rabada 38(29)

OUT! Hetmyer with another stunning catch! What a fielder! Harshal bowls a fuller length, Gopal swings hard at it and hits it to front of the square where Hetmyer takes another catch diving forward. Third umpire takes a long look at it but in the end there was no conclusive evidence to overrule the soft signal which was out.  Shreyas Gopal c Hetmyer b Harshal Patel 2(3)

OUT! Archer gone! Length ball, Archer swings and does not connect properly, balls goes high up in the air and Iyer comes right under it, takes a very good catch. Jofra Archer c Shreyas Iyer b Rabada 2(4)  

OUT! Axar strikes and Rabada takes a good catch in the deep on the on side. Short ball, Tye swung his bat and it went to Rabada at deep mid-wicket who looked like had misjudged it but recovered quickly to take it in the end. RR six down and time out called. 
Tye c Rabada b Axar 6(6) 

OUT! Bowled'em! Jaiswal gone. Slower ball from Stoinis and fuller, Jaiswal was early to play it, to the on side and ended up chopping it on the stumps. RR five down now. Jaiswal b Stoinis 34(36) 

OUT! Lomror gone and Ashwin it is with the wicket. Lomror wanted to play to the on side and the ball took the leading edge and went straight to short cover. RR four down and in deep trouble. Lomror c Axar b Ashwin 1(2)

OUT! That's a big wicket! Smith gone! DC are not dropping any catch tonight. On his legs and Smith flicks it square leg boundary where Hetmyer took a stunning catch inches from the ground diving forward. Umpires went upstairs but it is a clean catch, the replays suggest. Smith c Hetmyer b Nortje 24(17) 

OUT! Buttler gone!  Ashwin comes in and bowling to Buttler, had a square leg in place, Buttler swept and hit it directly to Dhawan who was placed there. First wicket for DC. Buttler c Dhawan b Ashwin 13(8)

Harshal goes big but the ball falls straight into the hands of deep mid-wicket fielder. Archer gets his third wicket of the night. Harshal Patel c Rahul Tewatia b Jofra Archer 16(15)

Edge and taken! 

Axar's cameo comes to an end. Axar c Buttler b Tye 17(8)

Hetmyer tries to make it three sixes in a row but finds the fielder at deep mid-wicket. Good catch! Hetmyer c Rahul Tewatia b Kartik Tyagi 45(24)

Stoinis falls! 

Tewatia with a much-deserved wicket. Wide delivery but the batsman goes for the cut and hands a simple catch to the point fielder. Stoinis c Smith b Rahul Tewatia 39(30)

Another run-out!

Rishabh Pant, what have you done? Stoinis hits it straight to the fielder as Pant doesn't see the ball and jogs to the middle of the crease. Pant run out (Vohra/Rahul Tewatia) 5(9)   

Shreyas Iyer is gone! 

What a wicket for Rajasthan. A direct hit from Jaiswal at cover point does the trick. Shreyas Iyer run out (Jaiswal) 22(18)

Archer with the wicket again! 

Shaw goes for another big hit but top-edges the delivery. Archer watches the ball till the last minute and takes a good catch. Prithvi Shaw c and b Jofra Archer 19(10) 

Jofra Archer strikes! 

Not a good ball but Dhawan sends the ball straight to mid-wicket fielder. Dhawan c Jaiswal b Jofra Archer 5(4)
