Rajasthan Royal storm into the semi finals

Shane Watson did the star turn as Rajasthan Royals stormed into the final of the Indian Premier League, beating Delhi Daredevils by 105 runs in the first semi-final at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Friday night.

The
Australia all-rounder first hit a breezy 52 as the Royals put up a
challenging 192 for 9 in their allotted 20 overs and then destroyed the
Delhi top order.

In a triple strike he had the top three Delhi batsmen -- Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Shikhar Dhawan -- dismissed cheaply. 

Reduced
to 24 for 3, Delhi never recovered and lost wickets at regular
intervals. Watson finished with figures of 3 for 10 in three overs as
Delhi Daredevils were dismissed for a paltry 87 in 16.2 overs.

Rajasthan Royals have proved that they are not a flash in the pan.

Congratulations!!!
