-Rajasthan Royals' batsmen completely outmatched Greenock Cricket Club's bowlers. Even though Richie Berrington provided his team with a wicket in only the second over of the game, it was proven to be of no importance later in the innings. Yusuf Pathan and Shane Watson blasted a belligerent 130-run partnership for the second wicket, and propelled their team past 200. With both completing their fifties in the process.
