Buttler-Jaiswal’s 87-runs stand
Chasing a moderate target of 155, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal maintained a cautious approach but put Rajasthan in a strong position with a 87-run stand for the opening wicket.
Stoinis gives first breakthrough
Marcus Stoinis then removed Yashasvi for 44(35), after that Rajasthan’s batting endured a collapse, which swung the momentum into Lucknow’s favour. Such was the impact that the equation dropped to 19 in the final over. Avesh Khan then bowled a brilliant final over as he struck twice and conceded 8 runs to restrict Rajasthan at 144/6 in 20 overs.
