Rajasthan Royals do the double over MI

Well that ended without any drama. A very good win for Rajasthan considering all the upheavals ahead of the game. Smith took over captaincy and has led from the front with an unbeaten 59 in what could have been a tricky chase. Don't forget his role earlier in the day as well, when he rung in the changes very cleverly, giving his bowlers short bursts.

Mumbai Indians will not hurt much from the defeat although a win would have taken them to the top of the table. But they keep producing these kind of indifferent performances against the "lesser teams" and that's got to be worrying in a league system.

Anyway, we won't have much time to dwell on this for the toss has taken place in Delhi with both DC and KXIP making a whole host of changes. Swap tabs and catch the action there! Ciao!

A needless run-out

End of a 70-run stand between Smith and Parag but the 17-year-old is slow to turn around and respond to a call for two from Smith and is caught well short of his crease by an accurate throw from Ben Cutting.

Then Ashton Turner is pinged plumb in front off the stumps by Bumrah. It's a second golden duck for him in the IPL! RR should still cruise.

Riyan Parag steps up

This could have gotten tricky but Parag is actually playing a good little hand here, easing the pressure on Smith. A brave scoop and an 'educated' edge past short thirdman has reduced the equation to nearly a run-a-ball. Top knock
