Delhi Capitals' bowlers fired with the ball to carry their side to a 46-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Friday. Shreyas Iyer-led side had scored 184 runs and the Royals fell 47 runs short of the target courtesy of some fine fielding and brilliant catching by Delhi Capitals.

Chasing 185 runs, Rajasthan Royals got off to a worst possible start as Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed star batsman Jos Buttler in the third over. Skipper Steve Smith then joined Yashasvi Jaiswal and the duo stitched a 41-run stand inside eight overs. However, a brilliant catch in the deep by Shimron Hetmyer ended Smith's stint at the crease in the ninth over.
