Ben Laughlin to Andre Russell. Yorker, down leg side backing away Slog, mis-timed to silly point for 1 run, fielded by Laughlin.
Good total from KKR in the end. They set Rajasthan 170 to win. After losing three wickets in the Power Play, and struggling against spin, it looked as though the home side would only get to around 140. But Andre Russell powered them up in the final few overs to give them the momentum at the halfway mark. Should be a thrilling chase to come.

It was looking like Rajasthan were on course to chase this down at the halfway point of their innings, but things started to stumble after the Sanju Samson wicket. Kuldeep Yadav was brilliant with the ball, and really got that reuqired run rate increasing to put the pressure onto the batsmen. Andre Russell was the man for KKR with the bat. Without him, it would've been a much tighter game.
So KKR go through to the second qualifier against the Sunrisers. That will be played on Friday. The Royals, though, have been dumped out.
