In a must-win match for both teams, Rajasthan Royals prevailed by 4 wickets to keep their slim chance of entering the playoffs alive. After being put into bat first, Punjab Kings found themselves struggling at 50-4 when Sam Curran (49*) and Jitesh Sharma (44) brought them back on track; Shahrukh Khan provided a late assist with 41 from 23 balls to give PBKS bowlers a competitive target to defend. RR needed to win the game in 18.3 overs to get an edge over Royal Challengers Bangalore, but could not manage, instead finishing the match with just 2 balls left. Nevertheless, they got the two points, jumping to fifth spot on the table. In the run chase, Devdutt Padikkal scored a match-winning 30-ball 51 while Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a cautious 50 off 36 balls. Shimron Hetmyer, too, chipped in with a 28-ball 46.
