Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Match Stats

Smith comes down the track and pushes it towards mid on for one.

The googly, it is picked and pushed down to long on for one more.

Well done! Good fielding! Need such efforts when the team is chasing the game. It is shorter and outside off, Smith looks to play it late. Gets it nice and fine; Arshdeep runs to his left from short third man, dives and saves three for his side.

Shorter and outside off, Samson cuts but straight towards short third man.

SIX! Smashed! A poor ball and it is put away with ease! It is short and it asks to be hit. Samson goes back and pulls it well over the mid-wicket fence.

FOUR! The last two balls spoil the over. A very expensive one in the end. Shorter and outside off, Samson guides it past the point fielder for a boundary. 13 from the over, 54 needed more.

A yorker on middle, it is jammed back to the bowler.

A slower bumper, it is pulled down to long on for one.

FOUR! Poor ball again. It is on the pads with fine leg up. Not what he wants. Samson works it fine on the leg side and it races away to the fence.

Well fielded! Arshdeep it is again! Shorter and outside off. Samson guides it past point. It seems to be heading for a boundary but Singh from third man runs to his right, dives and stops it. The batsmen take two.

A short one now! On the body. It is pulled towards short fine leg. Shami fumbles and allows a single.

FOUR! Nice and fine! Beautifully played by Smith! It is a low full toss on middle. He manages to stay leg side of the delivery and jams it fine towards third man. This time Arshdeep has no chance. 42 needed in 36.

Tossed up on off, this is hit down to long on for one.

OUT! Samson is short! Even the dive does not save him. Punjab have got the breakthrough they desperately needed. Yes, they are still on the back foot but this can be the opening for them. Also, this is the last thing Rajasthan needed. The two were going along so nicely. This is shorter and outside off. Smith mistimes it towards point and takes off. Suchith, the substitute, gets to the ball from point, picks it up and scores a direct hit at the keeper's end. Punjab are already celebrating. The umpire refers it. Replays show that Samson is short. A sorry way to end a promising inning,

Outside off, Buttler looks to cut but misses.

NOT OUT! It indeed is pitching outside leg. Punjab lose a review but it was probably more in hope. This pitches and then skids through. Buttler looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads. Bishnoi appeals but the umpire turns it down. Ravi is adamant for a review. Rahul takes it. Replays roll in and they show the on-field call is the right one.

On middle, this is worked through mid-wicket for one.

A dot to end just the kind of over Punjab needed. A wicket and two runs from it. 40 needed in 30 now. The last ball is on off, it is guided to point.

On a good length around off, Buttler forces it from the back foot to deep cover for a brace.

Pitches it up and outside off, Jos drives it through covers and rotates the strike.

Slower delivery, on a length around middle and leg, Smith fails to flick and it goes off his pads to square leg. They pinch a leg bye. 150 up!

Fools the batsman with a slower one! Shortish and outside off, Buttler is early into the shot and gets an under edge. It rolls behind to the keeper.

 Back of a length ball on off, angling in, Jos stays back and pushes it to the left of the bowler. Jordan does well to stop it. Excellent over, thus far.

SIX! It's a big hoick and spoils all the good work done in this over by Jordan. His slower delivery is picked this time Buttler. The length is full and Buttler dispatches it over long on. 10 from the over, 30 needed off 24 balls.

FOUR! That is a poor delivery with mid off up! It is full and a seam-up ball. Smith lofts it over the infield and starts the over with a boundary.

FOUR! Consecutive boundaries! Excellent wrist work from Smith! This is full and on middle. It is whipped over mid-wicket. No one in the deep and boundary results.

A couple now! It is fuller and around off, Smith opens the face of the bat and guides it through point for two.

FOUR! This is majestic from Smith! He goes down on one knee and plays the paddle scoop. He just knew where Shami was going to bowl and plays a brilliant shot. It goes for a boundary in the fine leg region. Runs needed below 20 now.

Direct hit and Smith was a goner! This is outside off, Smith guides it towards point and takes off. Suchith, who had hit the stumps earlier on, has a shy at the bowler's end but misses.

FOUR! This over is probably the one which seals the deal for Rajasthan. 19 from it and only 11 more needed. A slower one on middle. Buttler heaves it over mid-wicket and it races away to the fence.

WIDE! Just the 10 needed! It is well wide outside off. Left alone.

Full and on middle, it is worked towards deep mid-wicket for one.

SIX! Dispatched! That is right in the zone for Buttler. Full and on middle. Buttler smashes it over the bowler's head for a biggie.

WIDE! That is the end of the game! RAJASTHAN WIN BY 7 WICKETS! It is a very wide delivery outside off. Left alone.
