Match Ended   
189/5 (20.0/20)
190/4 (19.4/20)
Rajasthan Royals beat Punjab Kings by 6 wickets
Right then, that is all we have from the first game of this Super Saturday. The second game is already underway where Kolkata is taking on Lucknow. So switch tabs and enjoy that game. Cheers!
Yashasvi Jaiswal is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant knock of 68 off 41 balls!
Punjab just did not start well with the ball! Most of their bowlers had an off day. Especially, Sandeep Sharma and Rabada who just were not at their best. Rishi Dhawan and Arshdeep Singh did a good job but there was not enough support from the others and in the end, they taste yet another defeat. At the halfway mark, Punjab surely would have thought they have got to a good score. Bairstow was brilliant with the bat for them. They did lose their way in the middle but Sharma and Livingstone got them to a score which we felt was above par at that time but in the end it was chased courtesy a combined batting effort by Rajasthan.
The openers got them off to a flier before Jos Buttler fell. Sanju Samson also followed soon but Yashasvi Jaiswal played brilliantly. He and Devdutt Padikkal put up a really good stand which would have settled the nerves after the fall of Samson. Padikkal was happy to play second fiddle whereas Jaiswal took the attack to the bowlers. He scored a fine half ton but his wicket gave Punjab hope. However, Shimron Hetmyer and Padikkal played sensibly and took their side over the line nicely. A well-calculated chase.
Rajasthan get back to winning ways and they do so in style. Chasing down 190 against this Punjab attack on this wicket was never going to be easy but they have done so brilliantly.

Who will bowl the last then? He has 7 to defend and the skipper has given the ball to Chahar. This is a gamble but will it come off?

Liam Livingstone settles under it and takes the catch to send back the danger man back to the pavilion. 49 needed now from 34 balls as Shimron Hetmyer walks out to the middle.

DRINKS! Have to say, Yashasvi Jaiswal is single-handedly taking his side home here! What a knock he is plaing and Rajasthan will believe, they are well and truly on top. More of the same is what they would want. Punjab on the other hand, need wickets, not one but maybe two. They surely need Yashasvi Jaiswal or this game will be over quickly. An important passage of play left.

DRINKS! This has been a fantastic start for Rajasthan despite losing Jos Buttler early. They are going at almost 11 an over and Punjab need wickets to stem the run-flow here. Rajasthan would hope that these two can carry the same momentum forward but it is also important for Samson to bat most part of the innings and not throw his wicket away as the required rate is already under control. An interesting passage of play coming up as it is time for some spin. Rahul Chahar is into the attack now.

Kagiso Rabada To Jos Buttler OUT!
OUT! TAKEN! And the look in the Rajasthan dug out says it all! They are just not happy! With already so many runs coming off this over, not sure if this shot was needed on the last ball of this over. Buttler looks to play the paddle scoop, this is full and outside off. Buttler gets in a tangle, it somehow ends up going towards short third man where it is taken by Bhanuka Rajapaksa. That is a huge wicket. Buttler seemed in the mood but Rabada gets the big fish and his revenge. End of an eventful over.
