RR defeated PBKS in a low-scoring thriller 

Shimron Hetmyer's smart strokes helped RR chase down the 147-run total, resulting in a hard-fought three-wicket victory. With this victory, RR cemented their place at the top of the points table, reinforcing their supremacy in the competition. It was one of those low-scoring thrillers in which neither team could bat to their full potential, but Rajasthan had just enough batting depth to earn the victory. Shimron Hetmyer, who had been waiting all season for a chance to establish his value, took the moment and delivered when it counted the most, securing his team's win.

Chasing a modest goal of 148 runs, Rajasthan started smoothly, but soon lost their new opening combo Yashasvi Jaiswal and rookie Tanush Kotian after a 50-plus partnership. Later, one by one RR’s batting lineup failed to pick up the momentum until Hetmyer and Rovman Powell put Rajasthan back in the lead.
