Scorer: Chandan Duorah | Commentator: Shashwat Kumar
4:55pm Right. That will be a wrap from us for this game. The action, though, does not stop. In about half an hour, Durban's Super Giants will clash swords with the Joburg Super Kings. Do join us for that game too but until next time, this is me (Shashwat) signing off on behalf of Chandan. Goodbye, and take care!
4:53pm Phew, that was a game that was filled with twists and turns at every juncture. In the end, though, the Royals did just enough to hold their nerve. Buttler set up the run-chase with a blistering powerplay. The middle overs were more of a struggle, with the spinners in particular, tightening the screw. Miller, however, kept his cool at the end and did what he does best - finish off the game.
The Sunrisers, meanwhile, would be left ruing what could have been had they put up more runs on the board. Their bowling plans, especially in the 18th over, also left a bit to be desired, considering Magala kept venturing into Miller's arc. That said, they are still comfortably placed on the points table, and when the SA20 resumes after the ODI series between England and South Africa, they will have their fate in their own hands.
Just five needed now. Can Miller finish it off with one blow? Carse to bowl the penultimate over
