PBKS vs RR

Only a victory by a decent margin and Mumbai Indians (MI) plus Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) victory is necessary for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) to qualify for the playoffs. But at present, the Sanju Samson-led side knocked out Punjab Kings (PBKS) to keep their playoffs hope still alive. RR, on Friday (May 19) defeated PBKS by four wickets in Dharamshala.

After winning the toss, Samson chose to bowl first. With Sam Curran‘s 49* off 31, Jitesh Sharma‘s 44 off 28, and Shahrukh Khan‘s 41* off 23, the Shikhar Dhawan-led side posted 187/5 in their 20 overs.

Devdutt Padikkal also joined Jaiswal in the half-century list, plus Shimron Hetmyer’s 46 helped RR chase down the target in 19.4 overs to win the match by four wickets.
