In a virtual do or die game Rajasthan Royals ended up on a modest 154 after the end of their 20 overs against 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Royals batsmen struggled throughout the first innings with Ben Stokes unable to come with grasp of the pitch. In the end some lusty blows by Jofra Archer helped Steve Smith's team reach a formidable total. The Jaipur franchise lost wickets in heaps resulting in lesser partnerships between their batsman.
