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. Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis stitched together a 109-run opening stand, laying down the foundation but in the second half of the innings, they started to lose a bit of steam. Yash Punja turned out to be Rajasthan's trump card as he picked up a couple of wickets in the middle overs and allowed his side to make a comeback. However, the main turning point was the 20th over of the first innings, in which Jofra Archer gave away just 5 runs and as many as three wickets fell, including that of Mitchell Marsh for a fine knock of 96, and that really shifted momentum heading into the break.
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.

PUT DOWN! Prince goes searching for the yorker. It comes out as a low full toss, on middle. Ferreira clears the front leg and hits it flat down to long on. Nicholas Pooran runs in off the ropes and gets low to take the catch around his shin. It goes in and out of his palm. Single taken. RR need 2 from the final over.

Prince Yadav To Dhruv Jurel
SIX! Dhruv Jurel brings up his FIFTY in style. The 5th half-century of the season for RR's number 3. Prince bends his back and digs it in short, over middle. Jurel hangs on the back foot and swivels to pull it behind square leg for a biggie. Dhruv throws a punch in the air while looking towards the dugout.

Prince Yadav To Dhruv Jurel
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. Dhruv is not aware of where the ball is and sets off before being sent back. He puts in a dive to get home as Prince releases an underarm throw but misses.

Mayank Yadav To Donovan Ferreira
A big swing and a miss! Rolls his fingers over the ball and this is on a good length, just outside the off pole. Ferreira gets the front leg out of the way and swings across the line. The ball keeps a bit low to go under his bat.

Mayank Yadav To Donovan Ferreira
Slips in the yorker, on middle. Donovan jams it out back past the bowler. By the time the long on fielder can get around and release the throw, the batters are able to come back for the second. 10 more needed for RR.

Mayank Yadav To Donovan Ferreira
A loud shout for LBW! Turned down by the umpire. The timer runs out before Rishabh Pant can make up his mind. Full and straight, at the sticks. Ferreira clears the front leg and has a heave across the line. The ball goes under the inside edge to catch him on the crouched back thigh. A leg bye is taken as the ball goes away on the off side.
Mayank Yadav is back in to finish his spell.

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.

Prince Yadav To Dhruv Jurel
Skidding through, not that wide for the cut and not that short either. On a good length, in the channel. Jurel goes for the cut but misses as the ball sneaks under his willow.
Prince Yadav (2-0-31-0) is back on.
