Nandre Burger will bowl from the other end. Also, Rovman Powell comes into the field in place of an Indian player. Ricky Ponting is discussing the same with the fourth umpire. The umpire informs him that Rajasthan can do so as they fielded just three foreign players in their XI.

Ricky Bhui is in at 3.

Delhi skipper, Rishabh Pant walks in at 4.

Strategic break! This has been a strong start from Delhi in pursuit of 186 runs. Rishabh Pant is yet to find his touch but David Warner has managed to find boundaries with regularity. We are yet to see the introduction of spin from Sanju Samson and it will be interesting to see the approach from the two southpaws against them. Delhi have the required run rate under control as of now and Rajasthan will look to slip in a couple of quiet overs to mount the pressure. Ravichandran Ashwin comes on to bowl now.

Strategic break! The balance of power has shifted drastically in the favour of Rajasthan since the departure of David Warner. The Rajasthan bowlers are using their smarts by keeping it away from the batter and will look to do more of the same in this final passage of play. Tristan Stubbs comes in with a reputation for hitting the long ball and will hold the key here for Delhi. Axar Patel joins Stubbs in the middle now.
0
Avesh Khan (2-0-16-1) has been brought back into the attack.

Is that out? The stumps have been broken at the bowling end but Axar Patel seems to have made his ground. And yes, the replays confirm the same.

It will be Sandeep Sharma (3-0-21-0) to bowl the penultimate over with Delhi needing 32 runs off the last 12 balls.

Avesh Khan has been given the task of bowling the final over. Delhi require 17 runs and it will be Tristan Stubbs on strike.

Right then, that's all from this entertaining game where the momentum swung back and forth, but in the end, it was Rajasthan who took home the two points. The action continues on Friday, the 29th of March, when Bengaluru will take on Kolkata. Both teams are coming off a win, and it promises to be a cracker of a game at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The first ball will be bowled at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but you can join us earlier for the build-up. Cheers!
