Match Summary
Rajasthan Royals are back. After two consecutive defeats that dented their confidence, RR went to Lucknow and defeated the home team by 40 runs in a match that they controlled from start to finish. Batting on this ground is not easy. The pitch remains low, the heat is brutal and scoring is difficult. But RR’s bowlers make things even more difficult for Lucknow, and in the end, a total of 159 runs proves to be enough.
Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by 40 runs. RR made 159/6 in 20 overs. LSG were all out for 119 in 18 overs.
Toss
LSG wins the toss and decides to field first. The logic is understandable. This ground has been a low-scoring ground this season. Teams feel safer chasing. But tonight, RR bowlers made sure that chasing felt like climbing a mountain.
RR Innings: 159/6 (20 Overs)
Rajasthan Royals go to bat first, and get off to a poor start. Three wickets fall in the powerplay. Yashasvi Jaiswal hits 22 off 12 balls and looks dangerous before Mohammed Shami dismisses him at backward point. In the same over, Dhruv Jurel comes in and returns for a golden duck – Shami strikes twice in a row. Then Mohsin Khan joins the party and dismisses Vaibhav Suryavanshi for just 8 off 11 balls. At 32/3 after four overs, Rajasthan are in serious trouble.
Captain Riyan Parag (20 off 19 balls) and Shimron Hetmyer (22 off 18 balls) try to hold things together with a 30-run partnership. The partnership is slow but it steadys the ship. Then Prince Yadav picks Hetmyer and Mohsin Khan picks Parag quickly, and RR are once again bowled out at 77/5 in the 11th over.
This is where Ravindra Jadeja comes in and takes full charge. He doesn’t panic. He doesn’t rush. He chooses his moments and then strikes when it counts. Jadeja remained unbeaten on 43 off 29 balls, and was superbly supported by Donovan Ferreira (20 off 19 balls) and Shubham Dube (19* off 11 balls). Dube’s cameo in the final over is electric – he hits three fours in quick time to give RR a fighting score. Rajasthan are all out for 159/6.

LSG Innings: 119 All Out (18 Overs)
Lucknow started the chase and collapsed immediately. Ayush Badoni was run out in the very first over without facing a proper ball – a bad start. Then Jofra Archer and Nandre Burger were attacking the top order like lightning. Rishabh Pant came in as captain and was out for zero in 3 balls – out for a golden duck. Aiden Markram was out for zero in 6 balls. Three ducks. In the first three overs. LSG are at 11/3, and the match already looks one-sided.
Mitchell Marsh is the only player who fights. He plays with all his heart, shares a small partnership with Nicholas Pooran (22 off 25 balls) and then keeps Lucknow alive by hitting Sab Himmat Singh (15 off 15 balls). He gets his fifty in 39 balls and the crowd starts to believe. But two balls after his half-century, Marsh is holed out at extra cover against Nendra Burger. The match officially ends at that moment.
Without Marsh, LSG’s lower order has no answer. Brijesh Sharma and the rest of the RR bowlers quickly rectify the situation. LSG are all out for 119 in just 18 overs. The target of 160 never really appears.
