Rajasthan Royals snatch thrilling win over Punjab Kings

Tyagi concedes one run in final over to shock Punjab Kings

DUBAI: Fast bowler Karthik Tyagi bowled a sensational last over as Rajasthan Royals pulled off an incredible two-run victory over Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League match, in Dubai, on Tuesday.

Punjab required four runs off the last six balls, but Tyagi dismissed Nicholas Pooran (32) and Deepak Hooda (0), conceding only one run, to snatch victory for the Royals from the jaws of defeat.

Punjab ended their innings at 183 for 4, chasing 186 for victory.

Punjab skipper KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal approached the chase in the best way possible, raising a 120-run stand. The duo punished Rajasthan bowlers to all corners of the ground. Agarwal made 67, while Rahul was unlucky to miss his fifty by just one run.

Earlier, Rajasthan Royals made a superb start and were cruising at 116/3 in the 12th over before Punjab Kings reeled them in to get them bowled out for 185.

With Yashasvi Jaiswal and Evin Lewis going strong Rajasthan raced to 54 before losing their first wicket. Though Lewis (36) got out, Jaiswal went on with his innings as Rajasthan looked set for a big score. Jaiswal was out just short of his half-century and though Mahipal Lomror blasted 43 off just 17 deliveries, some good bowling by Arshpreet Singh and Mohammed Shami helped Punjab Kings fight back.

Arshdeep claimed 5 for 32 and Shami ended with 3/21. Agencies
