In another IPL match, the Rajasthan Royals faced off against the Kings XI Punjab (now known as Punjab Kings). Punjab, who were desperate for a win, rode on brilliant performances by Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, and Harpreet Brar to post a total of 185 runs. In the second innings, Rajasthan Royals were bowled out for just 140 runs, thanks to a spectacular bowling performance by Krunal Pandya and a Mankading dismissal by Punjab skipper KL Rahul. With this victory, Punjab Kings have kept their hopes of making it to the playoffs alive.
