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

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

10:43 PM

10:10 PM

Chance goes begging for Harshal

Tanush Kotian (24), Yashasvi Jaiswal (29); Harshal Patel 1-0-7-0

9:16 PM

Punjab restricted to 147/8

 

Over Summary: 0 4 0 1 1 W; PBKS 147-8 after 19 overs

Harpreet Brar (3), Ashutosh Sharma (31); Trent Boult 4-0-22-1

 

Ashutosh hits a four and there are two dot balls by Boult. A single on the fourth ball means that Brar would come to bat at the fifth ball. Now, Ashutosh needs to hit a boundary here to get Punjab over 150. But it would be Boult who has the wicket of Ashutosh and Punjab will remain below 150. 

 

9:10 PM

Ashutosh Sharma dropped, makes RR pay

 

Over Summary: 1 2 6 2 6 1; PBKS 141-7 after 19 overs

Harpreet Brar (2), Ashutosh Sharma (26); Avesh Khan 4-0-34-2

 

Oh, this should have been taken by Sanju Samson or at least there should have been better calling between the RR skipper and Avesh as both of them went for the catch and no one could take it. 

 

Ashutosh is making them pay for it big time as he has smashed Avesh Khan for back-to-back sixes in the same over. Every run from the dropped catch onwards is punishment for RR.
