Current standings

 

[Devadwal]

Levis gone after quickfire 36(21) .RR 54/1 after 5.4 over

 

[Rajdeep]

Liam Livingstone is a Mumbai Indian calibre player. What is he doing in Rajasthan? I expect a big contract for him in next years auction.

 

[Rajdeep]

Livingstone not looking fluent...struggling on these pitches.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Jaiswal played a fine knock there. Unfortunate to miss out on a bigger score

 

[Smbhayi]

Jaiswal gone for 49.. Was playing for his 50 last couple of overs..

 

[Smbhayi]

This Lompor guy is a very good hitter against spinners, already 4 sixes against them..

 

[Smbhayi]

24 runs from Hooda's over.. Why would anyone gives part timer 16th over? Poor captaincy from Rahul..

 

[Justcrazy]

166 / 5

RR should get to 200 here

 

[Smbhayi]

Lompor gone after scoring 43 off 17 balls..

 

[Smbhayi]

Poor umpiring, those 2 balls are not wides..

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab bowling well now , shift of momentum.

 

[Smbhayi]

Overrated Tewatia (2 off 5) clean bowled by Shami..

 

[Smbhayi]

3rd catch for Markram and 3rd wicket for Shami.. Poor poor finishing by RR..

 

[Smbhayi]

BTW good outing by Shami today..

 

[Smbhayi]

Fifer for Arshdeep..

 

[Justcrazy]

186 is target

RR would be disappointed

 

[Smbhayi]

Poor review by Sanju.. BTW what's that in umpires hand which look like soda opener..

 

[Ab Fan]

Some terrific shots from KL. Looking good!

 

[Smbhayi]

Punjab was very good in the field today and there was some very good catch by them.. Rajastan already put down 2 catches of Rahul inside 5 overs..

 

[Smbhayi]

KL put down by 3rd time.. And that was easiest lot..

 

[Justcrazy]

50 runs partnership in six overs

Punjab motoring along here

 

[Justcrazy]

RR need couple of quick wickets here to come back in the game

 

[pakpassfan]

KL put down by 3rd time.. And that was easiest lot..

KL prayed to all the 10000 gods of India

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab Kings need 114 runs in 72 balls.

A couple of tight overs required to bring RR back in the game.

 

[Justcrazy]

RR is a very poor team , they need to do lot of homework in next mega auction.

 

[Justcrazy]

25 off the over

106 after 10 overs !

 

[Smbhayi]

Finally Rahul's catch taken after a bit of juggling..

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab Kings need 66 runs in 48 balls.

Finally Rahul is gone

 

[Smbhayi]

Mayank gone too.. RR has slight chance here..

 

[Smbhayi]

Their poor death batting might comeback to bite them here.. Bowling & fielding also very poor by them especially Morris bowling..

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab Kings need 56 runs in 40 balls.

Punjab well on top here

 

[Ab Fan]

Easy win for Punjab.

But the team selection wasn't good. Bishnoi should play.

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab Kings need 19 runs in 19 balls.

Its matter of another few balls now

 

[Ab Fan]

Punjab should play one more batsman in top 4 and Pooran at 5. Maybe Gayle at 3 and Markram at 4. So, Pooran comes at 5.

Then the two of Indian all rounders( Deepak Hooda, SRK, Brar) at 6 & 7 and Fabian Allen at 8. Bowlers can be Shami, Arshdeep and Bishnoi.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Punjab trying to lose this one very badly.. And look at Punjab dugout not confident at all when they just need 3 run in 3 ball.. Pathetic really..

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Punjab going to lose this one.. How this happened lol..

 

[Smbhayi]

And the thing is RR is not trying anything here..

 

[Smbhayi]

And they manage to lose this one.. Both team trying to lose very hard but Punjab manages to beat RR here..

 

[Ab Fan]

Lol, what an awful bottlejob from Punjab!

Well well, I think not one extra batsman, they might need one more here if they play like this.

 

[Ab Fan]

Excellent from Tyagi though.

 

[Devadwal]

Punjab Kings need 19 runs in 19 balls.

Its matter of another few balls now

Talk nah .we are Royals .

 

[sindhiboy]

What a choke.
India seem to have yet another seam bowling talent

 

[Smbhayi]

What a choke.
India seem to have yet another seam bowling talent

He's not there yet, seems to bowl full tosses under pressure..

 

[Ab Fan]

Isn't it RR beat PK by 2 runs in the thread title?

 

[drubwrubnat]

Wait let me guess !

There was 19 required from 19, then it became 18 required trom 13, then it became 7 from 1 ball, then there were overthrows,

Isn't it RR beat PK by 2 runs in the thread title?
