It was Rajasthan though who got off to a good start as their top three had laid the foundation for a score of above 150. However, once Samson fell, it was a procession. They kept losing wickets one after the other and just could not recover. A few of their batters got off to starts but none went on to make it big and that is what cost them. Rajasthan have ended with a score well below par.
End of an excellent bowling display from Gujarat and they will feel, one part of the job is done! Outstanding captaincy from Pandya, he was brilliant with his changes and the field placements and his side responded well.
