Prashant Solanki to Yashasvi Jaiswal
SIX! Easily done by Yashasvi Jaiswal. Solanki starts off with a tossed-up delivery on middle. Jaiswal steps down the track and lofts it with the turn, all the way over the long on fence for a biggie.

Prashant Solanki to Yashasvi Jaiswal
OUT! TAKEN! A maiden wicket in the tournament for Prashant Solanki and what a big one this could prove to be. Solanki drags it down again around leg stump and invites Yashasvi Jaiswal to take on the longer boundary. Jaiswal goes after it but goes a bit too hard at it. Jaiswal ends up mistiming it towards the backward square leg fence. Matheesha Pathirana slides in to take a good catch. 47 needed now off 31 balls.

Prashant Solanki to Shimron Hetmyer
OUT! CAUGHT! Prashant Solanki gets rid of another big fish and this is a big blow to Rajasthan now! Big, big wicket and credit should be given to Prashant Solanki as he tosses this up despite getting hit for a boundary off the last ball. It is on middle and slower in the air. Shimron Hetmyer gets low and looks to slog-sweep it over deep mid-wicket. However, he gets a huge top edge and the ball goes in the air towards deep mid-wicket. Devon Conway comes running in from the deep and takes a fine catch.

Matheesha Pathirana to Ravichandran Ashwin
NOT OUT! Chennai take a review but the replays shows that the ball is pitching outside leg! It is almost a yorker around leg. Ashwin looks to clip it but misses. The ball hits his pads and there is an appeal as the batter run a leg bye. The umpire says no and Dhoni reviews it. However, Ball Tracking confirms that it is pitching outside leg. So a leg bye to end the over and now 19 needed from 12 balls!

Matheesha Pathirana to Riyan Parag
WIDE! Rajasthan seal this game and the number 2 position on the points table! Matheesha Pathirana goes for a wide yorker but the young man ends up bowling it bit too wide and on the wrong side of the tramline outside off. The umpire signals it wide and Rajasthan win by 5 wickets!
