JAIPUR: Shane Watson smashed 74 in 40 balls to help Rajasthan Royals beat Delhi Daredevils by 3 wickets during their Indian Premier League match in Jaipur.
Earlier, a brilliant bowling supported by charged up fielding helped Rajasthan Royals restrict Delhi Daredevils to a modest total of 156 for seven in their IPL Twenty20 match at Swai Mansingh stadium on Sunday.
The visitors, put in to bat, failed to build partnerships and paid the price as they could not put enough runs on the board and handed a tough job to their bowlers to defend a modest total.
Host skipper Shane Warne used all his bowlers effectively and made life difficult for visiting batsmen until Farveez Maharoof hit a blistering 39-run knock towards the end.
Maharoof top scored for the Delhi team with the help of two boundaries and four sixes, all coming in Shane Warne's overs.
The Sri Lankan also shared a crucial 54-run partnership with compatriot Tilakratne Dilshan (18) to help his team past the 150-run mark.
Mahroof hit Warne for 26 runs in the penultimate over with the help of four sixes, lifting the spirits of a dejected Delhi team.
Dmitri Mascarenhas (2/29) and Siddharth Trivedi (2/28) were the most successful bowlers for the hosts.
Mascarenhas, who made his debut in the tournament, bowled well and used slow balls to good effects as it did help in containing dangerous Virender Sehwag.
