Delhi Daredevils Innings
Delhi Daredevils won the toss and elected to bat first but unlike earlier played matches, this time they could not get off to a flyer. Though the run rate was in excess of 6 but Delhi Daredevils lost wickets at regular interval and it never looked they were in complete charge of the game. A B de Villers was the only hope for Delhi Daredevils and he scored a 50 of just 40 balls to take the score to a respectable total.Vettori and Manhas also chipped in with useful contributions and in the end Delhi Daredevils were able to score a total of 143/7 in 20 overs.

Rajasthan Royals Innings
Chasing the target, Rajasthan Royals got to a very bad start and lost 3 quick wickets when the team score was just 34.Then Jadega and Smith got together and scored some runs for Rajasthan Royals. Just when things started to look good for Rajasthan Royals, Mishra struck twice in the same over and thus Rajasthan Royals were reduced to 64/5 in 11 overs. At this stage it looked like its all over for Rajasthan Royals but Yusuf Pathan came and played an innings of lifetime. He along with Smith washed all the hopes of Delhi Daredevils. Yusuf Pathan scored 61 runs of just 30 balls ( 3 fours and 6 sixes) and helped Rajasthan Royals snatch a victory from mouth of Delhi Daredevils.
