Stayed tuned for the interviews...

Earlier, Rajasthan's choice to bat first turned out to be correct as they sped away to a brilliant start, despite losing Jos Buttler cheaply. Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal joined forces for an excellent partnership and Devdutt Padikkal was incredible with his quickfire knock. They lost the plot a bit at the backend and it appeared that they were 15-20 runs short, but eventually, their bowlers turned on the heat and defended the total efficiently.

The chase started on the wrong note for Lucknow as Trent Boult pegged them back with his double strike. It was a body blow for the chasing team when they lost KL Rahul as well, and it was tough going for them. After that, Hooda and Krunal combined for a 65-run stand to keep Lucknow in the match, but once this stand was broken, the chase fell flat on its face.

A clinical win for Rajasthan, and they go level on points with Lucknow. They showed just the correct energy on the field, picked wickets, built pressure and didn't let the intensity drop. It's a really good victory for them, and they are now number 2 on the table due to a superior NRR.

Prasidh comes 'round the wicket for the last ball of the innings and fires in a yorker, around off. Mohsin Khan digs it out towards covers and manages only a single. Rajasthan win by 24 runs!

Wide! A slower ball, full and well outside off. Mohsin Khan tries to reach out to slog but he does not get any bat on it. Wide called by the umpire.

A well-directed bumper, around middle. Mohsin Khan looks to pull but he misses.

Another slower ball, full and around off. Avesh Khan drags it to deep mid-wicket for a single.

A slower ball, on a length, outside off. Avesh Khan swings hard but fails to get any blade on it.

Avesh Khan is in next to complete the formalities.

OUT! CAUGHT! Marcus Stoinis holes out and that is it for Lucknow! A slower ball, into the wicket, outside off. Stoinis looks to heave it away but the ball goes off the toe end of the bat, high in the night sky towards Riyan Parag at long on who takes a sitter. Stoinis departs.

SIX! A low full toss, around off. Stoinis stays low in his crease and powers it over the long off fence for a biggie.

Prasidh Krishna to bowl the final over. 34 needed and Marcus Stoinis will be on strike.
