Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by 24 runs
That's your lot for Super Sunday. Gujarat sealed their spot in Qualifier 1 while Rajasthan have also taken a step closer to joining them. On Monday, Punjab and Delhi will be locked in a battle for survival, starting at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). You can join us in advance for the build-up. Until then, it's goodbye and cheers!
Trent Boult is the Player of the Match for his two wickets and a 9-ball 17 with the bat. The Kiwi speedster says that it is nice to contribute to a win and it is important to get wickets in the Powerplay. Adds that his plans are very simple and he looks to pitch the ball up. Mentions that this was an important game for them and their intensity on the field was brilliant. Talking about his batting, he smiles and says that he is batting a lot higher and he was surprised to do a press conference about his batting. Further adds that it is a tough place to bowl but he is enjoying his time with the new franchise.
Sanju Samson, the captain of Rajasthan, says that they have been taking some good decisions and when they pay off, it feels good. Credits his players for trusting themselves and delivering. Shares that batting first suits their style of play and they have some quality bowlers to defend the total. On their fielding, Samson replies that they had a chat about it, and wanted to keep the energy and intensity in the field. He praises James Neesham for his outing in the field. On using his spinners at any stage of the game, Samson replies that's the bonus point of having quality spinners. Shares that the team chat has been around not complicating things, as you just have to go out there and express yourself.
Yuzvendra Chahal, the leading wicket-taker of this season, is up for a chat. The leggie says that they needed this win and they played well as a unit. Adds that he didn't want to give extra runs while bowling to Hooda and he deliberately bowled quicker. Although, he feels that he could have bowled much better in this game. When asked about his race for the leading wicket-taker with Wanindu Hasaranga, Chahal says that he is really happy for the Sri Lankan and calls him his brother, and further adds that he won't mind if he tops the list.
KL Rahul, the skipper of Lucknow, is in for a chat. He says that it was a gettable target as it was a good pitch to bat on. Adds that they were backing themselves to chase down the total but they failed to execute their plans. Tells that their batters didn't play well and they need to come back stronger. Mentions that you need to bat well when you are facing quality new-ball bowlers in the form of Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna. Says that they won't be doing anything different in their last game against Kolkata and would be looking to execute their plans better. Adds that playing according to the situation is very important and it is all about batting well when the new ball is moving at the start.
Stayed tuned for the interviews...
Earlier, Rajasthan's choice to bat first turned out to be correct as they sped away to a brilliant start, despite losing Jos Buttler cheaply. Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal joined forces for an excellent partnership and Devdutt Padikkal was incredible with his quickfire knock. They lost the plot a bit at the backend and it appeared that they were 15-20 runs short, but eventually, their bowlers turned on the heat and defended the total efficiently.
The chase started on the wrong note for Lucknow as Trent Boult pegged them back with his double strike. It was a body blow for the chasing team when they lost KL Rahul as well, and it was tough going for them. After that, Hooda and Krunal combined for a 65-run stand to keep Lucknow in the match, but once this stand was broken, the chase fell flat on its face.
A clinical win for Rajasthan, and they go level on points with Lucknow. They showed just the correct energy on the field, picked wickets, built pressure and didn't let the intensity drop. It's a really good victory for them, and they are now number 2 on the table due to a superior NRR.

NOT OUT! A top effort nonetheless from Riyan Parag! This is a full ball, outside off. Stoinis heaves it uppishly, wide of the long on fielder. Parag there, moves quickly to his right, puts a dive in front and grabs the ball. He begins his celebration but the umpires take it upstairs. The replays show that the ball clearly bounced before it went into Parag's palms. A single taken and Stoinis won't be on strike.
Riyan Parag has taken a stunning catch in the deep. It was dying in front of him and he dived to grab it. He is claiming the catch and celebrating. The umpires though have decided to check it upstairs. Meanwhile, Obed McCoy is getting his right leg treated. Right then, the replays show that it has touched the ground before going into the hands.

Yuzvendra Chahal To Deepak Hooda OUT!
OUT! STUMPED! Excellent bowling from Chahal and this is a massive wicket for Rajasthan! Chahal bowls it slower through the air, on a length, around middle. Hooda skips down the track and looks to heave it away. However, he only manages a thick inside edge, onto his pad and the ball rolls towards the keeper. Sanju Samson is hurried there as the ball slips from his grasp and touches the stumps. The bails don't come off though. Now Samson picks up the ball and tries to disturb the stumps again but in the process, he loses the ball. Sanju Samson wants to be very sure, so he picks up the ball and uproots one stump. Deepak Hooda never tried to return during that period. The third umpire finds everything fine and it's a body blow to Lucknow's chances.
What happened there? Deepak Hooda is stumped but the third umpire is referred just to make sure that Sanju Samson has broken the stumps cleanly, with the ball in his hands.

Strategic break! The wicket of Krunal Pandya has ensured that Rajasthan are in the driver's seat. Ravichandran Ashwin has bowled exceptionally well and Lucknow will need to bat out of their skins to chase down the total now. Also, they don't bat deep, as Jason Holder is the only recognized batter remaining in the dugout. They require 81 runs off 36 balls and we are in for an exciting finish here. Trent Boult comes back into the attack now.

Ravichandran Ashwin To Krunal Pandya OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! The tag-team effort has done it cleanly near the fence, outstanding presence of mind shown by Jos Buttler and Riyan Parag. The partnership that was blossoming is nipped in the bud. Rajasthan are celebrating big time. The third umpire is referred and he finds nothing wrong with the catch. Coming to the delivery, it's fuller and around off, Krunal tries to power it over long on but doesn't get enough distance. Jos Buttler jumps and takes the catch near the fence, and then he parries it to Riyan Parag who has come across to his left from long off. Parag jumps to catch the ball over his head. 85 needed off 41 balls.
Is that a clean catch? Great tag-team effort in the deep from Jos Buttler and Riyan Parag and Krunal Pandya might be a goner! Yes, the replays show that Buttler got rid of the ball before going over the ropes and Pandya walks back to the hut.

Strategic break. Rajasthan have gained the upper hand in this match after a brilliant Powerplay. They claimed three wickets in it which includes the wicket of KL Rahul. With the linchpin of Lucknow's batting removed, Rajasthan would try to pile on the pressure in the middle overs. Krunal Pandya and Deepak Hooda have spent some time in the middle, but with the required rate almost touching 11, they will have to start attacking more.

Prasidh Krishna To KL Rahul OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! KL Rahul tries to be aggressive but ends up losing his wicket in the process. This is a back-of-a-length delivery, around off and cramping the batter for room as it shapes back in. KL Rahul sits back and looks to cut it over the infield. Although, he fails to get the desired elevation and finds Yashasvi Jaiswal at cover-point, who hops and takes a sharp catch. This is a massive wicket for Rajasthan as they see the back of Lucknow's skipper.

Trent Boult To Ayush Badoni OUT!
OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Ayush Badoni has a very nervous look on his face. He looks at his skipper and then reviews the decision. A perfect inswinger from Trent Boult to greet the new batter. It's on a length around off at 138.5 kph. Ayush Badoni shows no footwork as he attempts to work it on the leg side. He is beaten comprehensively and is pinged on the pads. The appeal is made and the finger goes up. The third umpire finds no bat on the UltraEdge and the Ball Tracking shows three reds. Boult is on a hat-trick!
Ayush Badoni walks in at number 3.

Trent Boult To Quinton de Kock OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Boult steams in and delivers it a touch short outside off at 134.4 kph. The ball lands and shape away a touch as de Kock rocks back to slap it through the line. He doesn't bother to keep it down and James Neesham at point grabs a very low catch. He is claiming it and de Kock starts to walk. Hang on, the two umpires want to get it checked and go upstairs. A couple of angles are enough to suggest that it's a neat catch. De Kock departs.
Is that a clean catch? James Neesham has taken a really good low catch at point but the umpires have taken it upstairs. The replays show that it is indeed a clean catch by Neesham.
