New Delhi. The 63rd match of the 15th season of the Indian Premier League is being played at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, where Lucknow Super Giants take on Rajasthan Royals to become the second team to reach the playoffs. It is a very important match for both the teams to make it to the top of the playoff, in which Rajasthan team after winning the toss decided to bat first and scored 178 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the allotted 20 overs.

Opener Jos Buttler once again flopped for the team of Rajasthan Royals and became the victim of Avesh Khan in the third over by scoring just 2 runs. Avesh Khan bowled Butler’s wicket and gave the first blow to the Rajasthan team. However, after this the pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal (41) and Sanju Samson (32) handled the innings and put on 64 runs for the second wicket.
