Arshdeep strikes as Royals lose their way after blistering start

Left-arm seamer takes a five-for as the Rajasthan side slips from 166 for four to 185 all out; openers Lewis, Jaiswal shine before Lomror comes up with a cameo

Rajasthan Royals would not be too pleased with the way its innings finished at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday. The men in pink lost six wickets for just 19 runs off the last 21 balls.

After being put in by Kings Punjab, Royals were bowled out for 185 off the final delivery. Arshdeep Singh was the main reason for the Royals’ retreat. The left-arm seamer bowled superbly to take five for 32 from his four overs.

Earlier, the Royals’ new opening pair of Evin Lewis (36, 21b, 7x4, 1x6) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (49, 36b, 6x4, 2x6) started confidently.
