Mumbai: A scintillating unbeaten 36-ball 59 from Shimron Hetmyer was followed by a four-for from Yuzvendra Chahal as Rajasthan Royals beat Lucknow Super Giants by 3 runs at the Wankhede in Mumbai. With the win, Royals registered their third victory of the season.

Rajasthan Royals survived a late Marcus Stoinis onslaught to defeat Lucknow Super Giants by 3 runs in the 20th match of IPL 2022 at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. LSG were on the backfoot after losing six wickets inside 16 overs and Marcus Stoinis tried his best to take LSG over the line but Kuldeep Sen delivered a fantastic last over and he defended 15 runs in the final six balls.

LSG had lost skipper KL Rahul first ball as he was bowled through the gate by Trent Boult and in the same over, the left-arm seamer removed K Gowtham to give Rajasthan Royals an ideal start. Prasidh Krishna soon removed Jason Holder and LSG lost three wickets inside the powerplay. In the end, Chahal returned with four wickets while Boult took two. Earlier, Shimron Hetmyer was at his blazing best as he scored 59 runs to help Rajasthan Royals post 165/6 against Lucknow Super Giants in the 20th game of IPL 2022 season at Wankhede Stadium. Ashwin also chipped in with a knock of 28 and the Royals made a brilliant tactical move as Ashwin was retired out in the 19th over.
