RR vs DC IPL 2022 Highlights: Marsh, Warner half centuries help Delhi Capitals thrash Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets

Warner scores the winning runs and brings up his fifth half century of the season. He has batted through the innings and anchored the chase with Marsh doing the big hitting at the other end. It looked like Warner had got that away to the boundary but Riyan Parag did well to stop it from reaching the ropes. But the batters ran the required the three runs anyway and so it didn't matter. Warner ends the innings unbeaten on 52 off 41 balls. Mitch Marsh, however, is a no-brainer for the player of the match. Apart from scoring 89 off 62, he had also taken the wickets of Yashasvi Jaiswal and R Ashwin earlier in the day. 

Pant almost finishes off the chase in the 18th over. Comes down again and manages to reach a slow, wide delivery and deposit it over deep-extra cover. 

That is the kind of shot you see from Pant in a Test match, ridiculously enough. Second ball that he is facing and he steps out to Chahal and sends him flying past long on. 

The partnership between him and David Warner ends on 144 and he goes for 89 off 42 balls. Marsh tries to sweep Chahal, gets a top edge and the ball flies up to short-fine leg for an easy catch. A brilliant innings comes to an end. 

Marsh c Sen b Chahal 89 (62), DC 144/2 in 17.1 overs

And the match is also gone as far as RR are concerned. DC are 144/1, need 17 to win off the last three overs. 

Well he is certainly gunning for a century here. He first pulled Boult and then smashed him to the third tier off the very next ball DC need 22 to win off 21 and Marsh is on 88 off 60. 

They are doing it easy now. Marsh pulls Ashwin hard and puts it past the fence. Is a century on for him?

Warner getting into it now. He has gone past 400 runs for the season, eighth time he has done that. Sweeps Chahal aerially in the gap at deep backward square leg for the boundary. RR 110/1 in 14.3

Warner gets one away and gets his strike rate beyond 100. Good length from Kuldeep Sen and Warner cuts away. 

Need 63 to win off 42 balls. It is safe to say now that they are cruising in this chase. It was in the first over for no runs that DC lost their first wicket so this has been some partnership. Marsh has dominated it and he has looked better and better. Warner's strike rate is less than 100 though but if he also gets going, this game is over already for RR.

Sublime from Marsh. There wasn't too much room but Marsh plays it late to cut it past backward point. 

Another close call. Marsh was supposed to be LBW very early in his innings and this time, Buttler jumps over the boundary and tries to slap the ball back in, potentially for a catch because he had a team mate close by. But the ball only falls on the other side of the boundary ropes. That half century has come in 38 balls.

This happens time and again in cricket and it has happened now, the ball hits the bail, the stumps light up, but the bails stay in the groove. That is the third chance Chahal had in the same over to get Warner. Warner was completely beaten by the spin and the replays showed that the ball had kissed the bails before reaching Samson. 

It was a very difficult chance but Chahal might just feel that he had two chances to get Warner there. He finally bowls his first over the match and Warner pulls him and he just about clears deep mid-wicket for a six. Then Chahal tosses it up outside off and Warner goes for it as well. Buttler had to come running in from long on and put in a dive but can't quite get it in his hands. 

First timeout of the innings taken. DC haven't set the stadium on fire but they still have their noses ahead because of who they have in the middle and whose still yet to come from the dug out. RR are yet to throw the ball to Chahal but Ashwin comes in to bowl his 2nd over in the 8th. 

Last over of the powerplay and Marsh uses the pace of the third ball and helps it on its way over the shorter third man fence. 

DC are 28/1. Marsh and Warner are being patient here and RR will know how important either of these two wickets will be. Get them out now and you will have Rishabh Pant coming in under the pressure of having to anchor a chase. 

Marsh hits the first maximum of the night for DC. Carrom ball from Ashwin, Marsh reads it like a book and sends it flying over long-on. 

RR bring in their best batter of the day. Boult could have got Marsh had they reviewed an LBW decison that the umpire turned down. Inswinging yorker that goes between bat and leg. DC didn't take the review, but the replays showed that the ball did hit the boot before taking the toe end of the bat. It would have smashed into the stumps according to hawk-eye. 

That is Prasidh Krishna's 3rd maiden of the season. Keeps Mitchell Marsh pinned to his crease. Prasidh and Boult are both getting some prodiguous bounce now. Marsh now has one run in 8 balls, Warner yet to get off the mark after facing two. 

Bharat falls for a second ball duck! Takes a hard pull and for a back of a length delivery, goes completely out of shape. He was a little late on that shot and he edges it to the keeper. 

DC 0/1 in 0.2 overs

Here are David Warner and KS Bharat for Delhi Capitals. Trent Boult has the ball in his hands. 

"I thought the way we bowled was outstanding. We had to bowl into the wicket and we used the big side really well. Hopefully we can keep our season alive. I said 160 in the 16th over and we bowled really well - we executed well at the end there. We need to be nice and positive, use the big boundary and run hard. If we keep wickets in hand at the end then we're going to be right in the game."

That remains a good score despite the fact that DC absolutely stifled RR for runs in the last five overs. RR could score just 44 runs and lost three wickets in that period and somehow eked out six runs from the final over. 

Now that is a good catch from the substitute Kamlesh Nagarkoti. Padikkal gives himself room but can't time the shot. Nagarkoti comes rushing in and dives forward to take the catch. Padikkal has been criticised for his strike rate but this has been a good innings.
