All-round Rajasthan seal maiden win
Finally, Rajasthan clicked as a unit. And finally, they won a game. It was a slow wicket, and Rajasthan, whose batsmen were harassed on bouncier pitches in this tournament so far, immediately looked more at home

Handshakes all around. A remarkably intent-less chase from Kolkata finishes off a win for Rajasthan, who were skilled and smart on a slow wicket. Ganguly in the middle order is becoming a bit of an issue, they have to find a way to get Shah and Mathews to play more overs. Anyway, time to skip onto the next match. Thanks for joining

Patel to Shah, OUT, Mathews is the new man in, and he walks out without even facing a delivery! Another yorker on the base of leg, they come through for a single, and Raut - the substitute - hits stumps direct from short fine
AD Mathews run out 0 (0b 0x4 0x6) SR: -

Patel to Ganguly, OUT, he mis-hits again, finds a fielder this time, but it is too late for KKR I am afraid. Like Hodge, another insipid innings, gets too much under a length ball and holes out to deep midwicket
