Mumbai: Some experts reckon Rajasthan Royals will steamroll Delhi Daredevils in their semi-final. But is the Royals' camp just as confident? CNN-IBN spoke to opener Graeme Smith on the eve of the big game.

Graeme Smith: I am really looking forward to the match. I missed the last two games due to a hamstring problem. But I am fit and ready to go and really looking forward to it. It's been a great tournament and it's going to be a fitting end to it and hopefully a successful one for Rajasthan.

Roma Khanna: A lot of players in your side are young, not used to the kind of pressure you guys are having played international cricket. What will you be telling them before the match?

Graeme Smith: I don't think it's anything different. I think this whole tournament has been exciting for them, playing in front of big crowds for the first time and they have thoroughly enjoyed it and played some really good cricket. So, it's about doing what we done during the whole tournament.
