Rajasthan Royals defeated Punjab Kings by 50 runs with opener Yashasvi Jaiswal smashing a fine half-century and England fast bowler Jofra Archer (3/35) rattling the top-order in an Indian Premier League match on Saturday.
Rajasthan Royals, riding on Jaiswal’s 45-ball 67, skipper Sanju Samson’s 26-ball 38 and Riyan Parag’s unbeaten 43, helped their team to an imposing 205 for 4 after being put in to bat by PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer.
In reply, PBKS lost four quick wickets to be in dire straits at 4/43 before Nehal Wadhera (62) and Glenn Maxwell (30) steadied the ship with an 88-run stand for the fifth wicket.
But their departure in quick succession took the fight out of the PBKS camp and were restricted to 155 for 9 in 20 overs.
