lovely, it arrives full and wide outside off, Ojha cannot reach that, and Rajasthan have completed an unbelievable comeback
RR vs Daredevils, 4th match at Delhi, IPL, Apr 06 2013 - Match Result
Do follow CSK v MI. Bye
Rahul Dravid, also the Man of the Match: "It went off well today. One of those days, got a little bit lucky, just happy to be on the right side of it. We lost a nailbiter here last year. Nice to come here and pay them back. I have put in a lot of training, put in the work, scoring runs sometimes is not in your control. Proud of the guys, it was a mixed performance. Two pieces of brilliance on the field, Shukla, Binny, teams don't like playing us, they know we will compete and fight."
Mahela Jayawardene: "We paced it well, the wicket was good, fast outfield, everything went well except for the last ten balls. On the field, they did much better than us. It is one of those games in T20, you get close ones. After coming back form injury, Umes is bowling well. It is tough to bowl in this format. We have to ensure we dont make silly mistakes."
Hang on for the presentation
What an insane finish. David Warner looks absolutely gutted. It was his run-out that changed things. Delhi needed 22 off the final three, 17 off the final two, and nine off the final over. Cooper conceded three in the 20th. Cooper says he was under pressure after conceding 23 off his first two overs
Rahane: "Last year was a bad game for us. We needed ten off the final over." Only fair to have a look at this result from last season then
Naman Ojha has one delivery to face, and he needs to hit it for six
Cooper has taken off on a run, this game has turned on its head, Russell has gone across to attempt a paddle, missed, like Botha had, and the ball has crashed into the stumps
Cooper keeps hitting the blockhole, what an over this is, Irfan get some bat on it down the leg side, keeper tidies up
IK Pathan walks in
The last match between these two here was decided by one run
he's gone for the reverse paddle, missed, and is struck right in front of off, this is not over yet

full and on middle, hit down to long on
Cooper to bowl the final over
shortish and wide, cut straight to the sweeper for one
another full toss, smashed down the ground, Cooper cuts off the boundary at long off
high full toss, he's swung that to short fine leg, who's unable to stop it, and two more knocked off
direct hit, will that change this game, stand-in captain Hodge gives his side some breathing space with a pick up and throw from extra cover, Warner had no chance to complete the single
another low full toss, thick inside edged to fine leg
full and quick down the leg side at 138.6 kph
a full toss on the pads, deep square leg slides to save the four, but his throw is weak enough to concede the second
dropped short, and he swats it in the air for deep midwicket to take a tumbling catch
hits the pad and rolls fine down leg as Warner misses
rssampat: "Dravid's drop of Warner defined the game. Show's the importance of young fielders standing in key strategic positions. Warner has taken the game away from RR"
Andrew: "RR has been asking for this all the way...dropping Warner not once, but twice? Madness."
almost in the blockhole, Warner gets legs out of the way to stab it through midwicket, they take on the throw for the second, and Juneja's dive saves him
whips a full one to deep midwicket
tries to swing it from outside off over midwicket and misses
flayed straight down the ground to long off
