Hetmyer the hero as Rajasthan wins by three wickets

 

A dot ball first up and this means that 10 is needed off 5 balls. Another wide yorker and this means that another dot ball as Hetmyer cannot afford to take a single. 

 

Woah!! Arshdeep goes for the yorker again and Hetmyer goes down the ground and hits a straight-as-an-arrow six. 

 

Two runs off this ball as Sam Curran makes a fielding error at long-on. Hetmyer turns out to be the hero as he hits the full toss for a six over the deep fine leg and Rajasthan wins the match by three wickets with a ball to spare. 

 

11:08 PM

10 needed off 6 with 3 wickets in hand for Rajasthan

 

Over Summary: 1 W 2 1 4 6; RR 138-7 after 19 overs

Trent Boult (0), Shimron Hetmyer (13); Sam Curran 4-0-25-2

 

Keshav Maharaj takes a single and therefore the target comes down to 11 off 8 with Hetmyer on strike. He needs just one big hit to get the match done. Now a single off the fifth ball means Maharaj has a free hit to try and get a big shot because Hetmyer will never take a single. 

 

But Maharaj instead gets out and Hetmyer will be on strike for the last six balls with 10 to get and three wickets in hand for Rajasthan. 

 

11:04 PM

12 needed off 9 with 4 wickets in hand

Length balls and classical cover drives from Rovman Powell give him two fours in a row and Sam Curran then gets the big wicket of Powell on a bouncer. Now Rajasthan need 12 off 9 with 6 wickets down. 

11:01 PM

20 needed from 12 to win

 

Over Summary: 1 W 2 1 4 6; RR 128-5 after 18 overs

Rovman Powell (6), Shimron Hetmyer (11); Harshal Patel 2-0-21-1

 

Now, Dhruv Jurel has played a similar shot to Riyan Parag and a brilliant catch by Shashank Singh saw his end. Shimron Hetmyer has hit a four and a six and the game now gangs in balance with 20 needed from the last two overs. 

 

10:56 PM

Arshdeep gets Parag

 

Over Summary: 0 6 2 W 1 0; RR 114-4 after 17 overs

Dhruv Jurel (6), Shimron Hetmyer (11); Arshdeep Singh 3-0-31-1

 

Arshdeep Singh has continued to build pressure on Rajasthan as he has got the big wicket of Riyan Parag. 

 

10:47 PM

Parag dropped by Livingstone

 

Over Summary: 1 1 1 1 1 1; RR 105-3 after 16 overs

Dhruv Jurel (6), Riyan Parag (15); Sam Curran 3-0-15-0

 

It was a golden chance for Punjab to build more pressure on Rajasthan, but Liam Livingstone dropped Riyan Parag. 

 

10:45 PM

Good over for Rajasthan

 

Over Summary: 0 1 4 1 1 2; RR 99-3 after 15 overs

Dhruv Jurel (3), Riyan Parag (12); Harpreet Brar 3-0-22-0

 

This is a good over for Rajasthan as they have got nine from it including a four which went over a flying Sam Curran at backward point. 

 

10:43 PM

Rabada gets Samson

 

Over Summary: 1 W 0 0 1 0; RR 90-3 after 14 overs

Dhruv Jurel (1), Riyan Parag (5); Kagiso Rabada 4-0-18-2

 

Kagiso Rabada has got the big wicket of Sanju Samson and all of a sudden there is pressure on Rajasthan. 

 

10:41 PM

Tight over from Brar

 

Over Summary: 0 1 1 1 1 1; RR 88-2 after 13 overs

Sanju Samson (18), Riyan Parag (4); Harpreet Brar 2-0-13-0

 

Tight over from Brar would keep the pressure on the Rajasthan Royals here.
