Match Analysis & Key Takeaways
Player of the Match – Ravi Bishnoi (4/41): The leg-spinner turned the game with three back-of-length wickets in the middle overs, breaking GT's strong start. His spell of 4/41 included the key scalps of Sai Sudharsan (73), Glenn Phillips and Washington Sundar.
Riyan Parag | RR Captain: "The way Bishnoi bowled in the middle overs changed the momentum. We knew 210 was a good total, but their openers started well. The spinners pulled it back brilliantly."
Rashid Khan | GT Captain: "We lost too many wickets in the middle phase. Sai and Kushagra gave us a flying start, but we couldn't capitalize. The positive is the fight shown by the lower order – Rabada and I tried our best."
Turning Point: GT were 107/2 in 10.4 overs, needing 104 runs in 56 balls. Ravi Bishnoi then removed Sai Sudharsan (73) and triggered a collapse of 5 wickets for 26 runs, effectively sealing the game. Despite a late 43-run stand between Rashid and Rabada, RR held on to win by 6 runs.
GT Run-chase breakdown: Overs 1-6: 56/0 (9.33 RPO) | Overs 7-15: 105/7 (11.66 RPO, 7 wkts) | Overs 16-20: 43/1 (8.6 RPO). The middle-overs collapse proved fatal.
