Tewatia, Parag star as Rajasthan Royals beats Sunrisers Hyderabad
Rahul Tewatia and Riyan Parag stole a sensational win from right under the nose of Sunrisers Hyderabad on Sunday.the five-wicket victory,with a ball to spare,at the Dubai International Stadium finally brought an end to the terrible run for Rajasthan Royals,which had come into the match after losing its last four.
On a surface where stroke-making didn’t seem easy,the target of 159 set by Sunrisers,after opting to bat,looked distant for Royals when its top-order crumbled again.the ploy to promote Ben Stokes playing his first IPL game of the season didn’t work as he chopped Khaleel Ahmed on to the stumps.
Skipper Steve Smith’s hesitation while going for a second run for Jos Buttler ended in his run-out.a couple of balls later,buttler followed Smith to the dug-out,edging Khaleel behind.
