Ball 3 Four!! All the off-side field is inside the circle and it was short, not too wide, but still, Parag got it over the offside field and got a four 

 

Ball 4 Run Out!! It was always on the cards as every run is important and Parag on the strike is also important. Obed McCoy sacrifices his wicket here as two runs was never going to be possible 

 

Ball 5 Deadly yorker from Shami and it was always going to be difficult for Parag to get anything on it 

 

Ball 6 Wicket!! Sums up the Rajasthan innings here as Shami executes another yorker and bowls out Parag and Rajasthan coil only make 130-9 in their 20 ovbers.

Rajasthan Royals Live Score 123-7 after 19 overs

 

9:43 PM

GT vs RR IPL Final Live Updates: Good over for Royals

 

Sai Kishore is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Boult comes down the ground and plays it inside out for two runs between extra cover and long-off 

 

Ball 2 Six!! David Miller caught the ball and walked into the boundary ropes and that would be a six to Rajasthan and Boult here 

 

Ball 3 Wicket!! No timing at all from Boult as he once again went down the crease for the big shot, which should not have been the ideal shot because a single would have brought Parag on strike who had a batter chance at getting big runs. But not to be and that would be the seventh wicket down with three balls to get in the over and Parag still away from strike 

 

Ball 4 Well done by McCoy as he takes a single instead of going for the big shot and getting out 

 

Ball 5 Parag could only take a single here and give McCoy a free hit at the last ball as they would not take a single for sure

GT vs RR IPL Final Live Updates: Its as boring as it gets from Royals

 

Lockie Ferguson is into the attack

 

Ball 1 Worked off the pads for a single by Parag on the on-side 

 

Ball 2 That would be a dot ball as Boult defends this one 

 

Ball 3 Two runs and that would be 100 up for Rajsthan in a very dull and boring inning so far 

 

Ball 4 Played on the offside for a single by Boult 

 

Ball 5 Played off the pads for single again
