RAJASTHAN ROYALS WIN And yet again, Rajasthan Royals have made a mockery of a 185+ run target in Abu Dhabi, this time chasing it down with 15 balls to spare and seven wickets in hand. The chase, led by Ben Stokes's quickfire fifty, was well-supported by Sanju Samson, Steve Smith and Jos Buttler. Chris Gayle's 99 went in vain. With this win, Rajasthan Royals not only remain alive in the competition but have also jumped past KKR in the points table on Net Run Rate. Three teams now sit at 12 points each.

Hello and welcome to Match 50 of the Indian Premier League 2020, between Kings XI Punjab and Rajasthan Royals. The last time the two sides had played, they had given a match for the ages, Rajasthan Royals chasing down a massive score courtesy Rahul Tewatia's late brilliance at Sharjah. Tonight, however, they will be tussling it out at a bigger ground in Abu Dhabi. There's all to play for for both the teams and every other team in the competition apart from Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. A win is needed for Rajasthan Royals to stay alive and given the form that Kings XI Punjab have hit in the second half of the tournament, it's unlikely to come easy. KXIP will remain in contention even if they don't win today but they wouldn't want to complicate their chances any further.
