Batsman	R	B	4s	6s	SR
KL Rahul C Wk	69	54	7	1	127.77
c Shreyas Gopal b Ankit Rajpoot 18 OUT! Caught! Rahul too departs and these wickets can well be the difference between 230 and 215 here. Rajasthan will back themselves to restrict Punjab under 220 now. Full and wide outside off, Rahul looks to slice it over cover for a biggie but he does not get the timing right and chips it straight to Shreyas Gopal in the deep who takes a good low catch. 194/2 24.07% DotBall 75.93% Scoring Shots 6 Ball per Boundary
Mayank Agarwal	106	50	10	7	212
c Sanju Samson b Tom Curran 16.3 OUT! Caught! End of a brilliant innings from Mayank Agarwal and he walks away after a truly remarkable century. Finally some respite for the Rajasthan and this could be the inroads they needed towards the end. A low full toss from Tom Curran on leg. Mayank Agarwal mistimes it and chips it high in the air straight to deep mid-wicket. Sanju Samson there comes in front and takes a good catch. Lucky escape for Curran as this was a juicy full toss but maybe Agarwal got just a bit tired. 183/1 26% DotBall 74% Scoring Shots 2 Ball per Boundary

c Sarfaraz Khan b Sheldon Cottrell 2.2 OUT! Caught! The big wicket of Buttler and he has gone without hurting Punjab much. Excellent catch from Sarfaraz to get rid of the England wicket-keeper batsman. Back of a length ball on off and middle, Buttler looks to pull but does so uppishly. Sarfaraz at short mid-wicket dives in front and takes a very sharp catch inches above the ground. The trademark Cottrell salute is out and he is enjoying a great start to his debut season. 19/1 57.14% DotBall 42.86% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
Steven Smith C	50	27	7	2	185.18
c Mohammed Shami b James Neesham 9 OUT! CAUGHT! Fifty and out for Smith and it is a very timely wicket for Punjab. They needed this and Neesham has the last laugh over the Australian. Fuller outside off, Smith looks to slice it over covers but he gets too much on it and ends up slicing it straight to the man at sweeper cover. Shami there comes in and takes the catch. 124 needed off 66 and it is game on here in Sharjah. 100/2 37.04% DotBall 62.96% Scoring Shots 3 Ball per Boundary
Sanju Samson	85	42	4	7	202.38
c KL Rahul b Mohammed Shami 16.1 OUT! Caught! Punjab's strike bowler comes and arguably strikes the game for them. Sanju Samson has to depart after a brilliant innings. Take a bow! He has single handedly kept his side in the game here but he cannot do much more. End of a lone warrior effort! Shami bangs it short, Samson looks to guide it over third man but ends up gloving it The ball goes easily to Rahul who makes no mistake. This is probably the end of Rajasthan's hope. 161/3 23.81% DotBall 76.19% Scoring Shots 3 Ball per Boundary
Rahul Tewatia	53	31	0	7	170.96
c Mayank Agarwal b Mohammed Shami 19 OUT! Caught! Tewatia holes out but take a bow sir! You have shown never give up attitude and that has taken your side to the brisk of a big win here. Back of a length ball on off, Tewatia pulls but finds the man in the deep. It goes towards mid-wicket where Mayank Agarwal in the deep takes the catch. 3 needed off the final over. 222/5 45.16% DotBall 54.84% Scoring Shots 4 Ball per Boundary
Robin Uthappa	9	4	2	0	225
c Nicholas Pooran b Mohammed Shami 18.1 OUT! Caught! Uthappa holes out! Full on off, it is in the slot. Uthappa looks to lift it over long off but he does not go through with his shot and hits it straight to Pooran at long off who makes no mistake. 203/4 25% DotBall 75% Scoring Shots 2 Ball per Boundary

b Murugan Ashwin 19.2 OUT! BOWLED! Ashwin shows courage and bowls a googly on off and middle. Parag looks to sweep but misses and the middle stump has gone for a toss. Punjab well and truly in it with a shot. 222/6 100% DotBall 0% Scoring Shots - Ball per Boundary
