In Indian premier league, this season Rajasthan Royals have not shown their class so far and they have lost a match at the last over or when chasing a target they left behind with few runs. Rajasthan Royals have done so many changes in the match as they were given rest to Steve Smith who was looking in form and instead of him they have included Turner in the squad but he not able to score a single run in the match against kings ll Punjab and team lose the match by 12 runs.
Rajasthan Royals have changed their batting order as they bring Rahul Tripathi as an opener with Jos Buttler which was a good choice as both had a 38 runs partnership for the first wicket and from this, it was clearly seen that they will win the match. But butter got out in the Fifth over of the innings and had given a catch to wicketkeeper poor in the bowling of Arshdeep. Sanju Samson and Rahul Tripathi playing a good inning for a team to reach near the chasing target.
In the 12th over Sanju dams on was clean bowled in the bowling of Ravichandran Ashwin which was turning point for the host team. Punjab clouds became happy as in the 16th over Rahul Tripathi also departs and now Punjab has 100% chance to win the match. In the 19th over Arshdeep took a wicket of Skipper Ajinkiya Rahane and now in 10 balls 30 runs needed for Rajasthan. But not a set batsman on a crease to hit a big boundary.
Stuart Binny who played an innings of 33 runs in 11 balls can't help to win the match as on the none striker hand there was a bowler and so he can't able to take a run. His effort goes in vain as he can't able to win the match. Ajinkiya Rahane learn the mistake that Steve Smith is an important player in playing 11 in the place of Ashton Turner. Rajasthan loses this match against kings ll Punjab with 12 runs. They are at 7th position in point table and now it is compulsory to win every match for qualify for playoff and now it looks they are out of the tournament.
