Rajasthan Royals Innings: RR posted a formidable total of 205/4 in their 20 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal led the batting with a composed 67 off 45 balls, including three fours and five sixes. Riyan Parag contributed an unbeaten 43 during the death overs, bolstering the team's total. Despite Lockie Ferguson's efforts for PBKS, claiming the wickets of both Jaiswal and captain Sanju Samson, the rest of Punjab's bowling attack struggled, with Marcus Stoinis and Marco Jansen proving expensive.
Punjab Kings Innings: Chasing 206, PBKS faltered early due to Jofra Archer's impactful opening over, where he dismissed Priyansh Arya on the first delivery and captain Shreyas Iyer later in the over. Archer's performance, alongside Sandeep Sharma, stifled Punjab’s momentum. Although Glenn Maxwell and Nehal Wadhera crafted a promising 88-run partnership, the remainder of the batting order collapsed, finishing at 155/9. Archer ended with impressive figures of 3/25.
