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.

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.

19.4 overs (1 Run) That's it! Victory for Rajasthan! A full ball on middle. Shimron Hetmyer hits it aerially but just short of long on for a single and takes his team to an important win here. Rajasthan win by 6 wickets!

19.3 overs (0 Run) Another dot! A slightly quciker and shorter delivery on off. Shimron Hetmyer punches it to covers.

19.2 overs (0 Run) Dot ball! A flatter delivery and slightly shorter on middle. Shimron Hetmyer tucks it to short  fine leg.

19.1 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Shimron Hetmyer lands a killer blow! A fuller ball on middle. Shimron Hetmyer gets under it and tonks it over long on for a maximum. Shimron Hetmyer has been brilliant this season for Rajasthan and he has almost done the job yet again today. Scores are level now!

19.1 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Ohh...not the start Punjab needed! Chahar delivers this down the leg side. Shimron Hetmyer looks to sweep it away but misses. 7 needed now.

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?

18.6 overs (0 Run) Dot ball! Top job from Arshdeep Singh! Nails another yorker on middle and leg from 'round the wicket. Parag looks to push it away but misses. The ball hits his pads but it is going down leg. 8 needed now from 6 balls!

18.5 overs (0 Run) OUT! CAUGHT! Wow, is there life left in this game still? 8 needed now from 7 balls! What an over this has been from the young Arshdeep Singh! It is a low full toss, outside off. Devdutt Padikkal looks to hit it away hard. However, he gets no timing and hits it straight to Mayank Agarwal at covers. The skipper makes no mistake and takes the catch to keep his team in the game.

18.4 overs (0 Run) This guy is simply outstanding! A perfect yorker again, outside off. Devdutt Padikkal manages to dig it out to covers.

18.3 overs (1 Run) Good over so far by Singh, just 3 singles! Nails a perfect yorker, outside off. Shimron Hetmyer just manages it to push it towards covers and they go for a quick single. The fielder there has a shy at the batter's end but misses.

18.2 overs (1 Run) Single again! A very full delivery, outside off. Devdutt Padikkal hits it wide of long off for a single.

18.1 overs (1 Run) Nails a yorker, outside off. Shimron Hetmyer just about manages to dig it out right of the bowler for a single.

17.6 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Boundary to end the over and 16 runs from this very important over! A shorter delivery on middle. Devdutt Padikkal clips it behind square on the leg side towards deep backward square leg fence for a boundary. Just 11 needed now from 12 balls!

17.5 overs (1 Run) On the shorter side, around leg. Shimron Hetmyer looks to pull but gets the inside edge on his body. A single taken towards the leg side.

17.4 overs (6 Runs) SIX! Ohh...poor bowling this by Rabada and Shimron Hetmyer takes full advantage of it. A low full toss on leg. Shimron Hetmyer whips it over deep backward square leg for a maximum.

17.3 overs (0 Run) NOT OUT! Almost a wicket but in the end a dot ball! A short delivery, around leg by Rabada. Shimron Hetmyer looks to pull but misses. The keeper takes the catch and they appeal for a caught behind. The umpire though is not interested and Punjab take a review. The replays roll in and the UltraEdge shows no bat involved. So Shimron Hetmyer will continue.

17.2 overs (1 Run) On a length, around leg. Devdutt Padikkal works it to deep square leg for a single. Can Rabada get a wicket in this over?

17.1 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Big boundary this and much-needed one for Devdutt Padikkal! A short ball, around off. Devdutt Padikkal hangs back and pulls it towards deep mid-wicket for a boundary. Finally shows the intent that is required.

16.6 overs (1 Run) Just a single but the damage was done earlier in the over with two boundaries. A yorker, outside off. Devdutt Padikkal guides it to third man for a single. 27 needed now from 18 balls! This is getting close, folks!

16.5 overs (0 Run) Brilliant yorker from Arshdeep Singh! It is a wide yorker and Devdutt Padikkal fails to dig it out.

16.4 overs (1 Run) Almost a yorker on off. Shimron Hetmyer hits it to long on for a single.

16.4 overs (1 Run) WIDE! That is a tough call from the umpire! A yorker, outside off by Singh. It is just inside the tramline and Shimron Hetmyer leaves it. The umpire thinks it is wide but Punjab players are not happy.

16.3 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Goes again, back-to-back boundaries for Shimron Hetmyer! A fullish delivery on off. Shimron Hetmyer slams i towards the cow corner for another boundary. 30 needed now from 21 balls!

16.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Shimron Hetmyer is a key man here for Rajasthan! A low full toss, around off. Shimron Hetmyer heaves it left of long on for a boundary.

16.1 overs (1 Run) A full delivery on off. Devdutt Padikkal hits it to long on for a single.

15.6 overs (1 Run) A length delivery on middle. Devdutt Padikkal works it to deep backward square leg. Shimron Hetmyer looks for a second run but is sent back by his partner and Shimron Hetmyer puts in a dive to get back to his crease. The leg umpire has taken it upstairs as there is a run-out appeal but Shimron Hetmyer is well inside his crease.

Run out appeal but Hetmyer is in! We feel so he is in. We will have to wait to find out though.

15.5 overs (0 Run) Another dot delivery! On a length, on middle. Devdutt Padikkal pushes it back to the bowler.

15.4 overs (0 Run) A fullish delivery on middle. Devdutt Padikkal works it to mid-wicket. Again no intent from Devdutt Padikkal, he is going at less that run-a-ball.

15.4 overs (1 Run) WIDE! Rabada with a good short ball, on middle and leg. Devdutt Padikkal ducks under it. Wide called for height.

15.3 overs (1 Run) Drifting on the pads again. Shimron Hetmyer works it towards fine leg for a single.

15.2 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! Shimron Hetmyer gets into the act with a lovely touch! A fullish delivery on middle and leg. Shimron Hetmyer just tucks it past short fine leg for a boundary.

15.1 overs (1 Run) On a length, around leg. Devdutt Padikkal works it behind square on the leg side for a single.
