Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals, 32nd Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Sandeep Sharma to Stubbs, 1 run, just a night which has ended on a poor note for Sandeep despite him bowling three superb overs. Theekshana has dropped a dolly. One of the easiest catches ever being spilled by Theekshana. That was short, wide, outside off, slower, Stubbs went for the pull and skewed it in the air off the top-edge. Theekshana got under it and somehow failed to clutch on to it. RR were poor on the field

Sandeep Sharma to Stubbs, SIX, and the wheels coming off. Low full toss, dipping a little, Stubbs gets under it and heaves it over wide long-on for a sixer. Massive hit indeed by Stubbs. He is playing a gem as well

Sandeep Sharma to Stubbs, FOUR, 10 runs off the over. First four that Sandeep Sharma has given away today. Low full toss, on the pads, angled down and clipped wide of the man at short fine for a four. Very nice placement

Sandeep Sharma to Ashutosh Sharma, wide, was banged in, slower, the batter looked to steer it but failed to wood it. Initially wasn't wided but Sharma decided to review it. And he was right. Just over it was

Jofra Archer to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, this is delectable. Street smart indeed. Was a short ball, angled in, Ashutosh Sharma used the pace on the ball by backing away and steered it wide of the man at short third man for a four. Jofra hasn't bowled too many bad balls in this over but still has gone for 15 runs

Jofra Archer to Stubbs, FOUR, and four more. Excellent from Stubbs. Was banged into the deck, slower, Stubbs wanted to scoop it but had to pause his shot a little before getting it over short fine. Lovely shot indeed by Stubbs

Jofra Archer to Ashutosh Sharma, FOUR, fuller length delivery, well outside off, Ashutosh Sharma stays deep in his crease and opens the face of the bat to guide it between point and short third man for a four. Just guided it. DC will take it

Sandeep Sharma to Ashutosh Sharma, wide, short, wide, too wide and has been called as a wide by the umpire

Sandeep Sharma to Ashutosh Sharma, no run, was a short, slower ball, Ashutosh Sharma looked to steer it and misses. Samson wanted to go up this time and hasn't helped them. Earlier, Porel had edged one and they didn't go up but this time Samson didn't want to take a chance

Theekshana to Axar, out Caught by Dhruv Jurel!! The fun ends. The full toss this time does the trick. Low full toss, angled in, Axar heaved it off the closed face of the bat which twisted on impact. The shot was powerless and Jurel at long-on took an easy catch. The skipper goes but seems to have done his job. They needed someone to give them some kind of impetus and that has been provided. Wasn't a great ball but has handed Theekshana a wicket. He shook his head despite getting the wicket. Axar c Dhruv Jurel b Theekshana 34(14) [4s-4 6s-2]

Theekshana to Axar, FOUR, and four more. Shortish, angled in, Axar stays back and pulls the ball wide of the man at deep mid for a four. That was hit flat and wide of the man at deep mid. Theekshana has had a poor day at the office

Theekshana to Axar, FOUR, Axar is playing a gem. Low full toss, outside off, Axar backed away and sliced it over backward point. That was well placed by the skipper. DC getting these vital runs

Theekshana to Axar, SIX, terrible ball. Full toss, angled across, outside off, Axar fetches it from outside off and slams it behind square for a sixer. The ball went well over the fence. DC are getting quick runs now

Hasaranga to Stubbs, 2 runs, Parag drops it. Was a tossed up delivery, Stubbs lofted it down to long-on. Parag made good ground to his right, dived and managed to get both hands to it but the ball popped out. He is seen rubbing his right abdomen. He did an excellent job to get there but the ball just didn't stick

Hasaranga to Axar, SIX, well tossed up, too full, Axar sits down, gets under it and slams the slog sweep over wide long-on. Axar is smacking them now and Hasaranga is under some pressure

Hasaranga to Axar, FOUR, tossed up delivery, outside off, Axar gets under it and drills it wide of cover. Axar has decided to change gears now. The man at long-off had no chance to his left

Hasaranga to Axar, FOUR, just wide of Hetty at deep mid. That was short, Axar waited on it and pulled it. The fielder ran to his right, dived but the ball still evaded him. DC will take the four

Hasaranga to Abishek Porel, out Caught by Riyan Parag!! And gone next ball. He got a reprieve off the previous ball but goes now. Was a tossed up delivery outside off, Abishek Porel looked to go aerial and sliced the ball down to long-off. The bat face twisted on impact and there was no power infused into the shot. Easy take for the fielder who ran in and completed the catch. DC in a spot of bother now. Abishek Porel c Riyan Parag b Hasaranga 49(37) [4s-5 6s-1]

Hasaranga to Stubbs, SIX, tossed up delivery, Stubbs sits down and peppers the area over mid-wicket. Massive hit. Got hold of the length and swiped across the line to send it miles over the fence

Jofra Archer to Rahul, out Caught by Hetmyer!! Just what the doctor ordered for RR! Archer was brought back to deliver a breakthrough, and he's got rid of the dangerman KL Rahul. Short delivery onto middle, Rahul pulls it away and hits it flat. Solid catch by Hetmyer running in from deep mid-wicket. Gets his fingertips under the ball and gathers it inches from the ground. Stunned silence in the stadium. Rahul c Hetmyer b Jofra Archer 38(32) [4s-2 6s-2]

Theekshana to Rahul, SIX, full and pushed through quicker just outside off, Rahul was waiting for something in his arc. Opens the front leg and whacks it down the ground. Connected a bit off the toe-end but goes just over long-off

Hasaranga to Abishek Porel, FOUR, googly that is a bit too wide outside off, becomes a bit predictable. Porel gets closer and cuts it away to the left of the point fielder for a boundary

Theekshana to Rahul, FOUR, flat delivery onto off, Rahul makes a bit of room at punches it towards deep cover. The fielder in the deep, Jurel, slips and the ball goes through him for a boundary. Some bonus runs for Delhi

Tushar Deshpande to Rahul, SIX, terrific!! He lined himself early for that shot, cleared the front leg on this slot delivery onto off and hits it through the line. Sails into the second tier over long-off

Theekshana to Rahul, FOUR, full toss on the thigh pad, not the kind of delivery you want to be bowling to KL Rahul who is in the form of his life. Clipped over square leg for an easy boundary

Sandeep Sharma to Abishek Porel, out Karun Nair Run Out!! 89 in the previous game, run out for a duck in the next! That's life in the IPL! An unfortunate end to Karun Nair's night here as he fails to open his account. A length ball angling onto off from round the wicket, Porel inside edges the pull onto his thigh pad and towards point. Initally calls but then sends the batter back, Karun was almost halfway down the crease by then. A bit casual from Sandeep who collects and takes some time to throw it at the non striker's stumps, but manages just in time. Karun Nair run out (Hasaranga/Sandeep Sharma) 0(3)

Jofra Archer to Fraser-McGurk, out Caught by Jaiswal!! Oh dear! JFM is out playing an ugly hack once again. He's adding too many such dismissals to his highlights reel now... A length delivery onto off, Fraser-McGurk clears the front leg for a big swipe across the line. Ends up skewing it in the air on the off side and mid-off fielder moves to his left to complete the catch. The batter lost his shape totally there, and was hurried by the pace of the delivery as well. Fraser-McGurk c Jaiswal b Jofra Archer 9(6) [4s-2]

Tushar Deshpande to Abishek Porel, FOUR, oh dear! Abishek Porel is in a murderous mood here. A shortish delivery onto off, lacks any real pace to threaten the DC opener. Pulled away to the left of mid-wicket for a boundary

Tushar Deshpande to Abishek Porel, FOUR, slower delivery that was pitched on a length and angles outside off. Porel waits on it and plays it late to drive it behind square and past the fielder at sweeper cover

Tushar Deshpande to Abishek Porel, SIX, 4,4,6!! Deshpande is feeling the heat here. A length ball onto the pads, easily flicked over the deep backward square leg fielder into the night sky for six!

Tushar Deshpande to Abishek Porel, FOUR, full and angling away from off, Porel shimmies forward a blind slog across the line. Gets an outside edge and the ball scurries off the outfield to the right of Archer at third-man

Tushar Deshpande to Abishek Porel, FOUR, full toss around knee high onto the pads. Whipped away over mid-wicket for a boundary. A gift of a delivery for Porel and he needs no second invite

Jofra Archer to Fraser-McGurk, FOUR, on a length and fast onto off stump, Fraser-McGurk flashes at it and opens the bat face on impact. The ball flies behind square for a boundary

Jofra Archer to Fraser-McGurk, FOUR, full and a bit wider outside off, Fraser-McGurk throws his hands at that and the drive flies over backward point for a boundary
