In the most recent IPL match, Rajasthan Royals defeated Punjab Kings in an exciting triumph that was decided by 3 wickets in a thrilling last over. In the 27th match of the IPL, Shimron Hetmyer's incredible exhibition of power-hitting proved to be the decisive factor as the Royals, needing 10 runs to win, destroyed PBKS's chances with critical sixes on the third and fifth deliveries.

PBKS had targeted the Royals for 148 runs, but their batting order was unable to muster enough innings. With two wickets apiece, Avesh Khan and Keshav Maharaj displayed outstanding bowling outings. Tanush Kotian and Yashasvi Jaiswal set a strong platform for the Royals in their chase of the mark with a potent opening combination of 56 runs. But Rabada was able to remove Sanju Samson and Jaiswal, and Arshdeep took care of the highly effective Riyan Parag. Hetmyer proved his mettle in spite of these losses, leading the Rajasthan Royals to an outstanding triumph.
