Rajasthan Royals would like to believe that they got out of jail in Match No.32 of the 2021 IPL. The Sanju Samson-led team defeated the Punjab Kings by two runs at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Kartik Tyagi had to defend four runs in the last over and he conceded only two. Moreover, he picked up a couple of wickets and denied PBKS an easy-looking victory on Tuesday.

Arshdeep, Jaiswal, Lomror steal the show

The Royals got off to a flying start after being put in to bat first as they scored 57 runs in the powerplay. Evin Lewis played his shots and made 36 off 21 with seven fours and one six before Arshdeep Singh dismissed him. Ishan Porel got rid of Sanju Samson, who found a thick outside-edge to KL Rahul. Thereafter, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and Liam Livingstone pressed the accelerator.

Arshdeep separated the duo, dismissing Livingstone, who was looking ominous on 25. Jaiswal was unlucky to not have got to his half-century. The southpaw scored 49 off 36 after which he became Arshdeep’s third victim. Arshdeep, in the meantime, picked up a five-wicket haul. Mahipal Lomror scored a 17-ball 43 with four sixes, but Arshdeep’s spell made sure that the Royals got to only 185.

Agarwal and Rahul set the tone

Punjab made a thunderous start to their run-chase. KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal played the first two overs with caution, but stepped on the gas after getting their eyes in. They scored 49 runs in the powerplay before going on to stitch a 120-run stand off 71 balls. Rahul rode his luck as he was dropped three times. The skipper scored 49 runs and it was Chetan Sakariya, who got his wicket.

Rahul Tewatia removed Agarwal, who made a sparkling 43-ball 67 with seven fours and two sixes. With two new batters- Aiden Markram and Nicholas Pooran- in the middle, the Royals would have sensed a chance of a comeback. Pooran and Markram scored 32 and 26 respectively and brought the target down to 10 off 15. However, Kartik Tyagi held his nerve in the last over to give RR a victory.
