Rajasthan Royals strengthen position in IPL top four by beating Delhi Daredevils

Rajasthan Royals strengthen their position in the top four of the Indian Premier League by beating the Delhi Daredevils

The Rajasthan Royals have further boosted their playoff chances in the Indian Premier League by seven points after beating the Delhi Daredevils by 62 runs.

The Daredevils, who can only play for pride as they reside at the bottom of the table, won the toss and elected to field.

Ajinkya Rahane starred at the crease for Rajasthan as he scored a knock of 64 before getting bowled out by Shahbaz Nadeem.

Kevon Cooper and Sanju Samson also contributed with 32 and 40 runs respectively before they were dismissed, while James Faulkner reached 23 not out as the team closed on 201-6 after 20 overs.

Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen was given the task of opening the innings for the Daredevils, but he only just reached double figures as he was bowled out by Rajat Bhatia for 13.

Manoj Tiwary tried to push up his side's total by finishing with over a half-century, but it was the Rajasthan bowlers who starred on the field, with Dhawal Kulkarni, Ben Cutting, James Faulkner, Pravin Tambe and Stuart Binny all getting a wicket apiece, while Bhatia nabbed two.
