RR vs GT Match Updates:
Rajasthan Royals with a stroke of changed luck won the toss today and elected to bat first!
As the game progresses, Rajasthan must be regretting their decision of taking batting first. As they look juvenile in from of GT’s bowling. The wickets are falling at regular intervals and the night seems to be of Gujarat Boy, Hardik Pandya. Making great bowling changes, he has shown different character in today’s game.
Rashid bowled his last over of the match and gave just 2 runs from the over. The player proved with his 18 runs 4 overs spell that he is called the king of T20s for a reason. Hardik too continued the spell, and it completely changed the game for Gujarat as he picked RR’s big hitter and probably the last hope Shimron Hetmeyer. After hitting two consecutive fours, Hetmeyer tried to hit another big one but mistimed it completely and got caught at the cover point.
Nothing much changed in the next over even after the bowling changed. Sai Kishor bowled the 16th over of the innings and was successful in getting RR’s 6th wicket. Ashwin got out for 6 runs as 4 runs and 1 wicket came off in the over. A series of run-a-ball over continues for Rajasthan as another 6 runs overcame to their halt 17th over. Ferguson bowled with discipline and kept bowlers restricted.
The 18th over a like a refreshment as 16 runs came off in the over but that too came at the cost of 1 wicket. Trent Boult after hitting a six tried to hit more boundaries but failed to do so. Sai Kishor got him out off a slower ball. Dayal bowled the 19th over and kept things tight as just 3 runs came off in the over. Shami bowled his and inning’s last over and even after getting hit for six, recovered well. 2 wickets, a run out and a cleaned bowled came off in the over.
Rajasthan Royals has scored a total of 130 runs at the loss of 9 wickets. Gujarat Titans need 131 runs to win the trophy. For RR, Jos Buttler scored the highest runs 39 off 35 at the strike rate of 112.
