क्रिकेट मैच रिजल्ट – Kings XI Punjab बनाम राजस्थान रॉयल्स 38 टी20 हाइलाइट्स, स्कोरकार्ड | KXIP Vs RR Match Highlights

Mujeeb Ur Rahman was the star performer for the home team as he got rid of a well-set Jos Buttler and then removed the dangerous Ben Stokes. Andrew Tye also was excellent with his variations while the other bowlers with the exception of Ankit Rajpoot also did their job efficiently. They made sure that Rajasthan never got going, although Shreyas Gopal's handy cameo towards the end took Rajasthan over the 150-run mark. This isn't a daunting total for Punjab but a couple of quick wickets can open this game. Do join us in a while for the run chase.

Brilliant bowling performance from Punjab. The hosts were in complete control throughout the innings despite a good knock from Jos Buttler. Punjab got the opening breakthrough in the very first over as Ashwin had Short caught at mid on. Ajinkya Rahane didn't last long after that and the visiting team was in a spot of bother. The 49-run stand between Samson and Buttler tried to revive the innings but once this pair was separated, the Rajasthan innings started to crumble.

Having said that, the hosts are on a two-match losing streak while Rajasathan, too, are coming off a loss from a rain-hit game. Who has the momentum heading into this one is hard to say. These two sides will be facing each other for the first time this season and let's see which team earns those two vital points tonight. Toss and teams coming up in a bit.

Game 2 of Super Sunday and it's match 38 of the Indian T20 League. The Holkar Stadium in Indore will see Punjab going up against Rajasthan. The two new captains this season – Ashwin and Rahane and both have begun their campaigns on a contrasting note. The former's team is on a roll while the latter's side is yet to strike form and as a result are seen placed in the bottom half of the points table.
