Rajasthan punish Pune

PTI, Jaipur
Ajit Chandila claimed four wickets, including the first hattrick of the season, in a sensational spin-bowling spell as Rajasthan Royals
crushed Pune Warriors by 45 runs in a lopsided Indian Premier League match on Sunday.
Little-known Chandila claimed his four wickets for just 13 runs from four overs as he single-handedly demolished Pune, who were already out of play-offs contention. The Sri Lankan off-spinner needed just 17 balls to grab his four wickets.
Chandila, who was playing in only his second match of the IPL, was though not getting prodigious turn from the Sawai Man Singh Stadium pitch and the batsmen were also pardy to be blamed for their poor shots.
With the win, Rajasthan remained in contention for a play-offs spot with 14 points
from 14 matches.
Set to score a challenging 171 for a win, the match was as good as over for Pune by the fifth over when they were down four wickets for just 26 with their top-four failing to reach double digit.
Captain Sourav Ganguly, who was embroiled in a controversy over his place in the team, scored two while Jesse Ryder, Robin Uthappa and Anustup Majumdar made one, six and nine respectively.
Steven Smith top-scored with 37 while Callum Fergusson and Angelo Mathews made identical 23. Smith and Mathews shared 39 runs from four overs for the sixth wicket to give a semblance of a fight before the former was out in the 15th over.
Earlier, Watson and Ajinkya Rahane struck half centuries as Rajasthan scored a challenging 170forfour.
The highlight of Rajasthan innings after choosing to bat first was the 94-run stand for the second wicket between Watson (58) and opener Rahane (61) after captain Rahul Dravid (21) departed early.
Watson threatened to take Rajasthan to a much bigger total with a flurry of boundaries in his 31-ball knock before he was out in the 15th over. He hit six fours and four sixes in his innings.
