Short and wide of off, Donovan Ferreira slaps this to extra cover.

 FOUR! Low full toss, across the batter, Donovan Ferreira looks to slog this out of the park but gets only an inside edge onto it. The ball, luckily for the batter, bounces wide of the off stump and over the keeper for a boundary.

Full and wide of off, Donovan Ferreira drives this to sweeper cover for a single. 

 FOUR! Pitched up, a bit too straight to the southpaw. Shubham Dubey flicks this to the left of Yuzvendra Chahal at fine leg. Chahal sprints and dives but the ball goes under his body and into the fence.

Short and on off, Shubham Dubey pulls this to deep square leg for a single. 

 FOUR! Another one way too straight around the pads to Donovan Ferreira this time. The batter gets a shade inside the line and glances this to the fence towards the long leg region for a boundary to close the over. 14 off this Arshdeep Singh over. 58 runs needed off 30 balls.

Back of a length, around off, Shubham Dubey looks to heave it but swings early and gets an inside edge that rolls through square leg for one. 

Full and on middle and leg, Donovan Ferreira tucks this down to long on for a single. 

 SIX! HIGH AND HANDSOME! Good length, around middle and off, Shubham Dubey clears his front foot and plants it towards his leg side. Helps himself into a solid base and slogs this for a massive biggie into the second tier towards the deep mid-wicket region. 

 FOUR! MUSCLED AWAY! Dubey is trying to do a Stoinis here. Marco Jansen bowls it full and on middle and off, Shubham Dubey stays deep inside the crease and hammers this over the bowler for a boundary down in front of the sight screen. 

WIDE! Full and wide of off, Shubham Dubey leaves it. Wided as this is a bit too high for the umpire's liking. 

Excellent stroke but terrible running between the wickets as they take just one off this. Jansen comes over the stumps and bowls a yorker on off, Shubham Dubey opens his bat face and guides this through the backward point region. Dubey starts running but as the batters cross, Dubey assumes that this has raced to the fence but an excellent fielding effort from Marcus Stoinis chasing this from backward point keeps it inside the playing area. Dubey panics and starts running back towards the striker's end without even completing the first but is sent back to the right end by Donovan Ferreira to complete one. 

Pace off, on a good length, on off. Donovan Ferreira dabs it to point and retains the strike with a single. 15 runs off the over. The Royals require 43 runs off 24 balls.

Steams in from around the wicket and bowls the loopy, pace-off yorker, outside off. Donovan Ferreira swings at it but the ball drops under his bat and goes behind towards the keeper.

Wide! Tries to push it across the batter but this is well beyond the tramline.

A big swing and a miss! Ferguson goes searching for the yorker but ends up serving a low full toss, across off. Donovan Ferreira clears the front leg and swings for the hills but connects with thin air.

And again! Excellent change up from Lockie. Takes pace off and lands it on a length, just outside the off stump. Ferreira has a hoick across the line but is beaten on the inside edge and the ball is not far away from crashing into the off pole.

Bangs it in short, on off, Donovan drags the pull to deep mid-wicket for just a single. So far, so good from Ferguson. Just 2 runs off the first 4 balls.

FOUR! Nicely played! Ferguson drifts on the pads with a full ball. Dubey gets into a bit of a tangle but he gets the front pad out of the way and uses the around-the-wicket angle to his advantage. He flicks it fine of the man at deep backward square leg for a four.

Good running! Angled into the pads, on a length, Dubey picks the slower ball and waits for the ball to arrive. He nudges it in front of deep square leg with soft hands and comes charging back for the second run. Still, 8 runs off the over. 35 needed off 18.

SIX! Straight as an arrow! Arshdeep begins from over the wicket and angles it across the right-hander. Hurls it on a length, and Ferreira extends his hands into the lofted hit. He gets under it and smokes it over the sight screen for a six. Pressure on Arshdeep early in the over.

FOUR! Targets the same region and picks up a boundary. Arshdeep switches to around the wicket but misses the mark as he attempts the yorker. It comes out as a low full toss, just outside the off stump. Ferreira pumps it back over the bowler's head and the long off fielder stands no chance. 10 runs off the first 2 balls. 25 needed off 16.

Lowish full toss, outside off. Donovan throws his hands at it but bunts it beside the strip on the off side.

Attacks the stumps, does Arshdeep. Donovan Ferreira crouches and takes it on the full. He swipes it in front of square on the leg side for a run.

Well bowled! From over the wicket for the left-hander, pace off and into the wicket. Shubham Dubey thinks about gliding it behind the wicket on the off side before bailing out of the shot. The ball sneaks just inside the tramline.

SIX! Shubham Dubey ends the over the same way Donovan Ferreira started it. Arshdeep bowls the slower, short ball. Dubey anticipates the line to be around the guideline. He walks across the stumps and swings across for the pull. He is slightly early into the shot but still clears deep mid-wicket for a six. The 200 is up for RR. 18 needed off 12.

FOUR! Hit hard and wide enough! Across off, full in length, Donovan Ferreira shuffles across to the off side and picks the bones out of it. He cracks the drive a bit uppishly down the ground. Shreyas Iyer flings himself to his right at mid off but the ball is past him in a flash.

SIX! BANG! My goodness. A 105-metre hit from Donovan Ferreira. Ferguson bends his back and bangs it in short, on off. This sits up to be hit, and Donovan climbs into it. He pummels it way over mid-wicket into the top tier for a biggie.

A swing and a miss. Going away, pace off and into the surface, Donovan swings across the line with all his might but fails to connect.

FOUR! Off the top edge, but they all count. Just 4 more needed for RR. Pace on now by Ferguson, on a hard length, on off. Ferreira swings hard for the pull but the ball gets big on him. It flies off the top edge between the keeper and short third and races into the deep third fence.

Stays on a shortish length, keeping it away from the batter's arc. Donovan drags the pull in front of square on the leg side for one.

Ferguson rolls his fingers over the ball and delivers it on a good length, on off. Shubham Dubey taps it wide of point and takes a single. RR need 2 more runs.

Just short! Jansen slams the deck hard, keeping it around the tramline. Dubey reaches out to flay at it. Gets the height but not the distance. Arshdeep Singh comes in charging in from deep point but the ball lands in front of him. Single taken. The scores are level.

SIX! Donovan Ferreira finishes the game off in style and also brings up his FIFTY. Jansen pushes it across the right-hander but gets the length wrong. Dishes out a full toss, outside off. Ferreira clears the front leg and dispatches it over mid on for a six. Donovan has come in clutch for his side on the night, along with Shubham Dubey. Punjab's juggernaut has been halted. Rajasthan Royals win by 6 wickets with four balls to spare.
