Rajasthan Ryals have secured their 2nd win of the season in IPL 2025 as they defeated hosts Punjab Kings by 50 runs at the Mullanpur Stadium in Chandigarh. Punjab fail to regain their top spot as a batting order meltdown restricted them to just 155/9 on the night.  Chasing 206, PBKS opener Priyansh Arya got off to the worst start possible as Jofra Archer took him out for a golden duck in the first over. Skipper Shreyas Iyer was also taken out in the same over which shell shocked the hosts on the night.  Archer starred with the ball and ended up with three wickets on the night while Sandeep and Maheesh got two scalps each on the night.  Earlier, Rajasthan Royals set a 206-run target for hosts Punjab Kings in match number 17 of the IPL 225 at the new Mullanpur Stadium tonight. Sanju Samson's first game as captain this season saw him and his opening partner Yashasvi Jaiswal (67) give the Royals a proper stage to set up a good total on the board.
 
Riyan Parag's 25-ball 43 paired up with a fiery 20-run cameo by Hetmyer made sure that the visitors get across 200 on the night.
 
However, the PBKS bowlers did manage to break crucial partnerships in the middle and restricted RR to 205/4 in their 20 overs. Lockie Ferguson led the bowling line-up with 2 wickets on the night while bowlers like Arshdeep and Jansen also managed to take one scalp each for the home side.
 
The hosts would be looking to chase the total down and claim their third successive victory on the night. However, the RR pacers would be looking to avoid the defeat as well on the night and continue their winning run on the night.  RR 1st innings scorecard:
