Buttler-Jaiswal’s 87-run stand
Chasing a modest target of 155, Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal maintained a cautious approach but put Rajasthan in a strong position with an 87-run stand for the opening wicket.
Stoinis makes the first breakthrough
Marcus Stoinis then removed Yashasvi for 44(35) before Rajasthan’s batting collapsed, swinging the momentum in Lucknow’s favour. It was such that the equation fell to 19 in the final. Avesh Khan then had a brilliant finish as he struck twice and conceded 8 runs to restrict Rajasthan to 144/6 in 20 overs.
