225/3 (19.1/20)
220/5 (20.0/20)
Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by 7 wickets
Archer's final over turns the tide - After being put into bat first, Lucknow Super Giants were in charge of the first innings for the majority of the first 20 overs.
Lucknow's pacers leave a lot to be desired - With Mohammad Shami rested for the game, LSG had a fairly inexperienced bowling attack. Akash Singh took the new ball and gave away 23 runs in the first over, setting a negative tone for things to come. Mohsin Khan bowled a tidy first over, but he too went for 19 in his second over and LSG failed to build any sort of pressure on the opposition batters. Akash did come back well and get the first breakthrough, but Mayank Yadav and even Prince Yadav got a lot of stick. Digvesh Singh bowled decently as Mohsin proved to be the most economical, and he even got the big wicket of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, but it was too late in the game.
Menace from the RR openers - In the absence of Riyan Parag, Yashasvi Jaiswal had the responsibility of captaining the side, but given his slim form with the bat, he was under immense pressure. Jaiswal came clutch in the Powerplay and hit a brisk 43 before getting out. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi played second fiddle for a while but came into his own in the middle overs, smashing sixes for fun en route to 93 off just 38 balls. Dhruv Jurel also came back into form, stitching together a 100-plus stand with Vaibhav, and finished the game with an unbeaten half-century.
Rajasthan take back control of their destiny - A win under pressure and the first one of the season in Jaipur for Rajasthan Royals, and they now move up into 4th place, which means if they win their final game, no other result will matter, and they will qualify. As for Lucknow, it is their 9th defeat of the season, and they remain at the foot of the table.

Shahbaz Ahamad To Donovan Ferreira
SIX! Donovan Ferreira seals the win for the Rajasthan Royals. RR win by 7 wickets and give their playoff chances a big boost. Fractionally short from around the wicket, on off. Ferreira presses back and thumps it down the ground. The long off fielder stands no chance as he can only watch the ball sail over his head.
Just like Rajasthan Royals. Lucknow Super Giants also get the fielding penalty for not completing their overs in the stipulated time frame. It will be Shahbaz Ahamad to bowl the final over.

Two dots to begin with. Nice and full with a bit of tail towards the batter. Jurel tries to flick it away. Gets an inside edge onto the pads and it lobs in front of the batter.

A loud shout for LBW! Turned down by the umpire. The timer runs out before Rishabh Pant can make up his mind.

Prince Yadav To Dhruv Jurel
Yorker, on off. Jurel jams it out to backward point and they set off for a quick run. Ayush Badoni swoops in and gets low to pick the ball up but fumbles, allowing the batters to take the second run.
16.3
lb
Prince Yadav To Donovan Ferreira
Not a lot going in favour of the bowler in that appeal. Seam-up ball, low full toss, on middle and leg. This tails back into the right-hander. Donovan Ferreira leans across to flick it away but the ball goes under the bat to catch him low on the front pad. A confident shout by the bowler alone and it is turned down. Rishabh Pant feels that it is going down leg but takes the bowler's head and goes for the review. No bat involved and the Ball Tracking has the ball going down the leg stump.
Reviewed! More in hope, it seems. Prince Yadav seemed excited about the LBW appeal, but it was turned down. Rishabh Pant goes for the DRS and the third umpire is called into action. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that the impact is outside the ball is sliding past the leg stump. NOT OUT.
Donovan Ferreira walks out to bat next for the Royals.

Prince Yadav To Dhruv Jurel OUT!
OUT! PRETORIUS IS RUN OUT! Prince nails the yorker, outside the off stump. Jurel drops his bat down and digs it out to backward point. A look at each other before the batters set off for a risky single. The ball bounces nicely for Ayush Badoni, who moves forward and picks it up cleanly before having a shy at the batting end. Lhuan-dre Pretorius had already given up and Badoni hits the target to catch him short. RR are 196/3, needing 25 from 22 balls.

Good running! Around off, on a good length. Lhuan-dre Pretorius plays it with soft hands as he tucks it in the vacant mid-wicket region and comes charging back for the second run.
STRATEGIC BREAK! Just the one over since the departure of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, but there has finally been a bit of calm after the storm he unleashed. With just 33 runs needed off 30 balls and 8 wickets in hand, the Royals will look to finish this chase quickly. LSG, meanwhile, have been left stunned by a storm named Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.

Mohsin Khan To Vaibhav Sooryavanshi OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Mohsin Khan makes quick amends and does get rid of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, but it all seems a bit too late for LSG. Slower and a bit into the pitch, over off stump. Sooryavanshi hangs back and looks to wallop it over long on but doesn't get the desired connection. The ball sails down to long on, where Abdul Samad takes a simple catch, and Sooryavanshi's amazing innings comes to an end.

Mohsin Khan To Dhruv Jurel
How can you miss from there? Mohsin Khan has fumbled a huge chance for Lucknow to get back into the contest. Slower one, angled across off. Dhruv Jurel dabs it to backward point and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is halfway down the pitch, looking for a single that isn't there. Digvesh Singh picks it up and throws it to the bowler. Mohsin jogs towards the stumps, but decides to under-am it at the stumps, instead of continuing to jog and dislodge the bails. He misses from a few inches out, and the batters end up getting a single.
Mohsin Khan (2-0-21-0) is back.

Another one that is a bit short, on off. Sooryavanshi hangs back and clubs it to the left of Mitchell Marsh at deep mid-wicket. Marsh scampers across and dives but the ball lands well out of his reach. The 100-run stand is up between these two, in a flash as well.

A single sneaked in and that will be FIFTY for Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. Gloves taken off, now then, is that another note coming out? Nope. Sooryavanshi forms an 'A' with his fingers and points it towards the dugout. Across off, on a good length, Vaibhav brings out the reverse and gets it to the right of short third. A fumble from Mayank Yadav and the batters are alert enough to cross over.

Akash Singh has blown hot and cold tonight. 23 runs off his first over, then a wicket and just 5 runs off his next and now a 26-run over. Full and slanting in at the sticks. Sooryavanshi clears the front leg and smears it to the right of the man at deep mid-wicket for a boundary. RR need 111 runs off 66 balls.

Akash Singh To Vaibhav Sooryavanshi
SIX! Just over! It could have been a different outcome had the fielder been back at the fence. Fractionally short, on middle. Sooryavanshi plays the pull off the front foot and hits it flat towards deep backward square leg. Mayank Yadav is a few steps in off the ropes and leaps but the ball sails over his head for a six.

Akash Singh To Yashasvi Jaiswal OUT!
OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A much-needed breakthrough for LSG. Bowled with an upright seam, on a good length, around off. Jaiswal goes hard on the drive and there is just enough away movement to graze the outside edge. Rishabh Pant gobbles it up with ease. End of a 75-run opening stand.

Akash Singh To Yashasvi Jaiswal
FOUR! Oh, misjudgement on the part of Mukul Choudhary! Off-pace delivery at 107.4 kph, on a good length. Jaiswal picks the slower ball and pauses his bat swing for a moment. He flashes at the ball and it goes low to backward point, where the sub fielder, Choudhary is caught wrong-footed. He extends his right hand low but the ball evades him and goes away for a boundary.

Akash Singh To Yashasvi Jaiswal
Starts well, does Akash. Hits the back of a length, on top of off. Jaiswal angles it off the back foot to backward point.
STRATEGIC BREAK! A solid Powerplay for Rajasthan Royals with the bat, not as good as Lucknow Super Giants, but still pretty solid. Yashasvi Jaiswal seems to have found his best form in a crunch game and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has also started to open his arms after a watchful start. The key for LSG is wickets and they will hope that they manage to get loads of them in the next phase of the chase. RR are just scoring better than the initial required rate, but will need to keep going, even with the fielding restrictions now lifted as they still need 150 off 84 balls. Also, Akash Singh is brought back into the attack. He went for 23 in his first over.

A heart-in-the-mouth moment for Sooryavanshi, but he gets away with it. A skiddy short ball, over off stump and this one rushes the batter. Sooryavanshi looks to pull but miscues it badly and well in front of mid off. Tidy start from Yadav.

Mohsin Khan To Yashasvi Jaiswal
Hard length on off, Jaiswal stays back and lets the ball come on, dabbing it late and wide of short third for a single.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has copped a blow on the left elbow and is in considerable pain. The physio is out to have a look. A bit of magic spray first, and now the elbow is being strapped up. Jaiswal is ready to resume.

Short ball again, on middle, but comes in at an awkward height for Jaiswal. Jaiswal tries to hop up and fend it away but gets hit on the inside part of the elbow. That will definitely sting.

FOUR! Well, that's the last thing you want as a bowler, especially when you have already conceded 19 runs in the over. Short and wide outside off, there to be hit. Yashasvi Jaiswal cuts it hard but straight to deep backward point, where Mayank Yadav fumbles it onto the ropes. 23 off the first over of the chase.

FIVE WIDES! Oh, dear, this is turning out to be a long and frustrating over for LSG. Skiddish length on leg, nips a long way down the leg side and this time Pant can't get to it. The ball rolls down to the fine leg fence. 19 off the over already.

Akash Singh To Yashasvi Jaiswal
FOUR! Yashasvi Jaiswal is off the mark in fine fashion. The on air commentators just mentioned that the fine leg is very wide and the ball travels to exactly where a normal fine leg would have been. Dug in short over middle and leg, swatted away down to fine leg for the first boundary of the chase.
