Rajasthan Royals won the toss and chose to field. Shekar Dhawan 54 off 35 and EJG Morgan 63 off 28, at his best ensured Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 201/4.

Chasing the formidable target, Royals lost early in-form batsman Ajinkya Rahane (8) cheaply but a superb innings of 68 from Steve Smith brought them back in contention. And then a late-order flourish from James Faulkner (30), Sanju Samson (21) and Chris Morris (34 not out) brought the hosts in striking distance of victory, but they lost by 7 runs as Sunrisers Hyderabad kept their nerve.
