That's all we have from Super Sunday. Mumbai won their match against Kolkata earlier in the evening to stay alive in the tournament while Punjab broke their 2-match losing run with a convincing win over Rajasthan. Tomorrow, there is a single game coming your way. It will be Hyderabad hosting Bangalore at 2000 IST (1430 GMT). Do join us for all the action. Cheers!

Mujeeb Ur Rahman is adjudged the Man of the Match for his fantastic bowling spell. His figures of 4-0-27-3 bamboozled Rajasthan. The Afghan continues to enjoy a good debut season.

Credit should be given to Rajasthan for trying hard but they didn't have enough runs in the bank. Still, their bowlers fared exceedingly well to create immense pressure but towards the end, they gave it away. Till the second strategic break, the visitors were in with a chance but Stoinis and Rahul changed gears after that to earn an easy win. So, the hundred percent record for a chasing team winning in Indore remains in tact.

Just when it seemed that the pair of Rahul and Nair will run away with the show, Anureet Singh struck to send the latter back to the pavilion. The promotion of Axar Patel didn't go as per the plan for Punjab but the presence of KL Rahul in the middle meant that they were always hopeful. Eventually, he got an ally in Marcus Stoinis and together they overhauled the target with 8 balls to spare.

It wasn't a usual dashing performance upfront by Punjab in their innings. In fact, it was a subdued one. Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal departed in quick succession and the hosts ended up with their lowest Powerplay score of the season. Rajasthan had the upper hand at that stage of the match but the combination of Rahul and Nair raised a fifty stand to keep the chase on track.

Done and dusted in style! Take a bow, KL Rahul! Tremendous batting effort by the opener. So far in this season, he provided brisk starts to his team and today showed his other side of the game as he anchored this chase and steered Punjab closer to the playoff berth. Rajasthan will be deeply disappointed at the moment as once again they failed to cross the line. Their season is just refusing to take off after a promising start.

18.4

Jofra Archer To Lokesh Rahul

FOUR! That is it! Game, set and match! Low full toss on the stumps, Rahul takes a stride ahead and unfurls a classical drive on the up through the covers. Once again timing and placement were exquisite from Rahul and the ball speeds away to the boundary. The Punjab dugout roars in delight as they WIN BY 6 WICKETS AND 8 BALLS TO SPARE!

18.3

Jofra Archer To Lokesh Rahul

Short of a length ball on the pads and Rahul tucks it square on to the leg side. They take two runs.

18.2

Jofra Archer To Lokesh Rahul

SIX! Biggie! Super shot, Rahul wants to finish this game quickly! This one is pitched right in the slot and Rahul hammers it in emphatic style over the bowler's head for a maximum. Holds the pose as well. Stand and deliver stuff!

18.1

Jofra Archer To Lokesh Rahul

Full pitch delivery on the stumps and Rahul bunts it down the ground to long off. They take a couple more. Punjab just a couple of hits away from a win!

Jaydev Unadkat To Marcus Stoinis

Unadkat finishes with a dot. Full pitch delivery on the stumps, it is much slower in pace. Stoinis waits back and defends. 12 from 12 needed, Punjab should get over the line with absolute ease from this position.
