Rajasthan Royals were obliterated to 59 all out in response to Royal Challengers Bangalore’s 171-5. Shimron Hetmyer bludgeoned sixes at one end, scoring 35 by himself, while the other ten managed a shambolic 24 between them, as the visitors rose to the fifth spot on the points table, with a spot in the playoffs now in clear sight. This heavy defeat pegs Rajasthan back in the race, with only one league game to go.
Earlier, 51 runs were scored in the last five overs at just over ten an over, as Glenn Maxwell went ballistic to usher Royal Challengers Bangalore to 171-5 in 20 overs. He didn’t last particularly long after his fifty, falling to a tame reverse-sweep.
A couple of wickets by Adam Zampa and Sandeep Sharma put the breaks on the RCB innings, but a handy cameo by Anuj Rawat ensured that the visitors set Rajasthan Royals a competitive target at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
