Chasing 186 runs, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal gave Punjab the right kind of start, adding 120 for the first wicket. Nicholas Pooran and debutant Aiden Markram looked good to take their side home. But Mustafizur Rahman and Kartik Tyagi bowled exceedingly in the death well to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat.
“We were happy with the score in this wicket” - Sanju Samson
Asked to bat first, Evin Lewis and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave RR a solid start before Mahipal Lomror took the Punjab attack to the cleaners. He scored 43 off just 17 balls to propel Rajasthan to 169 in just 17.1 overs. But a collapse in the lower middle-order meant they managed only 185 runs.
Sanju Samson, who had an off day in business with the bat, felt that was a good score on that wicket.
Rajasthan Royals will play Delhi Capitals next on September 25 at one of the selected IPL venues, that is, the Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi.
