That is Rajasthan Royals seventh defeat of this IPL, which means that to qualify they need two things to happen:
1)They must win all their remaining matches
2)And even then they will be dependent on their net run rate being good enough to win a split tie because seven wins and seven losses will not be enough to qualify other than on net run rate..

Farooqi off the mark, but that single means that his side need 14 off the last two balls. Deshpande gets a single and it is 13 needed off one ball. Another singkle off the final ball and it is 194-9, giving RCB a win by 11 runs. Royals were 188-5 with two overs left, and have scored 6-4 in those two overs to throw this match away.

Leg bye off the second ball, and then a daft run out, going for a single, and not even a slightly offline throw from Tim David could enable Hasaranga to get home. RR 191-9. need 15 off three balls, with numbers 10 and 11 together.

Dubey hits a Dayal full toss straight to Salt and it is 189-8, 17 needed off five balls and no front line batters left. After taking 22 off the 18th over Royals had this match in their hands, and they have spectacularly fluffed their lines.

No hat trick, but it is another dot - a brute of a ball for Hasaranga to deal with. 17 needed off seven balls. The last ball of the over is another dot, and suddenly Royals need 17 off the final over to win. Hazlewood 4-0-33-4, including 2-1 in that penultimate over of the match.

Hazlewood has Archer caught by Patidar for a first ball duck and it is 189-7, 17 needed off eight balls. This over has gone: wide, dot, dot, wicket, wicket.

A review for a potential caught behind plays dividends for RCB - Jurel is out for 47 and it is 189-6 after 18.3 overs, 17 needed off nine balls with only four wickets left.

Rajasthan Royals are getting the big over they badly needed - 18 off it so far and a ball still to come. The sixth ball goes for another four to make it 22 from the over, and suddenly just 18 are needed from the final two overs, which would normally be considered easy in this format.

Hetmyer nicks one from Hazlewood thriough to the keeper and it is 162-5 after 16.3 overs, 44 more needed off 21 balls and the big 'death overs' hitter has been dismissed for 11 (8).

RR in serious trouble now - they have let Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma, neither exactly sorcerers with the ball, get away far too cheaply with the result that having been ahead of the required rate when the spinners were brought on they are now way behind.
