Delhi: Delhi Daredevils strong batting line up failed to chase the total of 165 runs set up by the Rajasthan Royals in the 4th match of the Indian Premiere League season six at the Ferozeshah Kotla stadium here. Warner's unfortunate run out apparently took the game away from daredevils.
Sreesanth troubled the batsmen in his brilliant four overs spell. He gave only 18 runs with an economy of 4.50 runs per over. Cooper was the wicket taker bowler from the Rajastahn Royals' side as he plucked 3 wickets by giving 30 runs in his four overs spell.
Earlier, Dravid's 65 and Binny's 40 runs knock helped Rajasthan Royals to set a target of 165 runs against the Delhi Devils. At the start, it looked easy for Delhi but after Warner was run out, Delhi’s batting line collapsed.
