The Rajasthan Royals came up with a clinical chase to beat the Lucknow Super Giants by seven wickets in the Indian Premier League at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Saturday. The win further cemented the Royals’ spot at the top of the table with 16 points, courtesy of their eight wins from nine matches.
Sanju Samson won the toss for the Royals and elected to bowl first. The Super Giants managed to put on a fighting total of 196/5 after their 20 overs at a venue where no team has managed to cross the double-century mark so far this season.
The Royals however, powered by the unbeaten 121-run partnership between Samson and Dhruv Jurel, got to the target, scoring 199/3 with an entire over to spare.
