On episode 9 of The T20 Podcast, Ayaz Memon and I talk about Rajasthan's big win over Punjab, where they pulled off the highest run chase in the tournament's history
In an edge-of-the-seat thriller, some ruthless hitting by Sanju Samson (85 off 42 balls) and Rahul Tewatia (31-ball 53) gave Rajasthan an improbable four-wicket win over Punjab on Sunday, as they chased down a massive 224-run target.
Rahul Tewatia was the man of the moment, after struggling at the start of his innings and managing to score 17 off the first 23 balls he faced while chasing such a big target, he smashed Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in the 18th over to take his team from needing 51 runs from 18 balls to requiring 21 runs from the last 12. A target they managed to achieve, with 3 balls to spare.
