Krishna bowled a short pitch delivery wide of the off-stump to lure Finch into a mistimed shot and the plan worked as Finch tried to cut it over deep point for a six only to get dismissed. The Australia white-ball skipper was caught by Karun Nair at deep-point and Rajasthan broke the dangerous partnership of Finch and Shreyas Iyer.


Notably, Prasidh gave a fiery send-off to Finch as both the players were involved in a verbal spat.
