Full commentary

Not a shot played in anger, and Royals have won with 13 balls to spare. Goes to show how poor Delhi's batting has been this season and tonight. Dravid, Rahane have done coolly again. Delhi are officially out of the tournament. Khelo front foot pe. And on the front foot I leave. Cheers.

RB: "Sid are you related to Agarkar somehow??" No, just an impartial, dispassionate observer.

Mahela Jayawardene: "We made a few mistakes, Rajasthan played some good cricket, we were below par. Everyone's working hard, trying their best, everyone goes through seasons like that."

Rahul Dravid: "So far, it's been working out pretty well for us. We were under pressure with Watson picking up a bit of an injury, and Binny falling down after two overs. In T20 you can't afford to put a price on your wicket, Rahane has been batting beautifully, he has reacted very well to being dropped from the Champions Trophy. (Joking) I picked Hogg in the last match because I didn't want to be the oldest payer in the team, and this time it was Tambe. What a story it is for him."

Man of the Match is Ajinkya Rahane: "I just want to enjoy my batting, that's what I did today. We wanted to play the ball on its merit, take it one ball at a time."

Right, that's a wrap from our coverage from the afternoon game, hop over here for all the action from Mumbai v Kolkata.
