Cricket Scorecard

Inexplicably bizarre - That is perhaps the only way to describe the back end of the RR innings. They had a real opportunity to bat SRH out of this contest, but they have left the door ajar for Hyderabad heading into the chase. Credit, though, to the Sunrisers for the way they pulled things back, conceding just 36 runs and picking up five wickets in the final five overs.

Sakib Hussain to Ravindra Jadeja, A bizarre piece of play to end the innings, and Rajasthan Royals finish with 243/8, their highest total.
