Toss: Rajasthan Royals won the toss & opted to bowl.
First Innings Summary :
Putting into bat by Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings had a decent start to the innings. Missing Shikhar Dhawan for this match was very crucial for PBKS. No Punjab batter got going. Ashutosh Sharma scored the highest for the team 31(16). Jitesh Sharma scored 29(24) and Livingston scored 21(14). Punjab put a decent score of 147 on the board. Keshav Maharaj was the pick of the bowlers for Rajasthan as he picked 2 wickets for 23.
Second Innings Summary :
Chasing a target of 148, both the openers of Rajasthan Royals gave a good start. Both together made a partnership of 56 runs. Jaiswal scored 39 runs but couldn’t make it big. Punjab made a comeback in the middle overs by picking wickets in regular intervals. It seemed like Punjab Kings could defend the low total, but Hetmyer turned things towards RR’s way. His quick-fire innings of 27 off just 10 balls won the match for RR.
Shimron Hetmyer was selected Man of the Match for his 27 off 10 deliveries.
With the win, Rajasthan Royals remains at the top of the table with 10 points from 6 matches and PBKS stays at 7th position with just 4 points.
