After being asked to bat first, RR were under massive pressure having lost three wickets within the powerplay. But the 22-year-old Riyan Parag managed to rescue the innings with a heroic knock of 84 from just 25 balls to help set a defendable target of 186 runs.
Coming to the second innings, Nandre Burger managed to come in with two crucial wickets in the powerplay to give the hosts some momentum. Despite David Warner looking to score big, it was promptly halted by Avesh Khan who got the wicket of the Australian veteran. This was followed by regular wickets but Tristan Stubbs took the game deep but Avesh’s final over meant that the visitors were unable to chase down the target.
