September 21, 2021 21:02

Royals 168-5 (17 ovs) vs Punjab | Scorecard

Left-hander Lomror takes on part-time spinner Deepak Hooda. Lomror slams the first ball for a straight six back over the bowler's head.

He comes down the track and swings the next ball over midwicket to take Royals past 150, in the 16th over.

Hooda bowls a full toss which Lomror hits over the covers for a four.

The spinner bowls another full toss but this time it is high as Lomror comes down and mistimes the shot for two runs to sweeper cover.

He drills the fifth ball through the covers for another couple of runs and cuts the last ball for a four.

Hooda goes for 24 runs in his second over as Royals look on course for a target around 200.

Shami comes back into the attack. Parag blocks the first ball before he hits the next down the ground to long-on for a couple of runs.

Shami makes the breakthrough with the wicket of Parag, who is caught at long-on for 4.

Parag tries to play the helicopter shot, and ends up dragging the full delivery straight into the hands of Aiden Markram at long-on.

Rahul Tewatia gets off the mark with a single on the off-side and Lomror digs out the yorker for another run.

Shami does well to concede just four runs while taking the wicket to check Royals' charge.
