In the second innings, RR lost teenager Vaibhav Suryavanshi (16) early. Then, Yashasvi Jaiswal took charge against Josh Hazlewood, who had the last laugh over the southpaw.

Nitish Rana (28) and Riyan Parag (22) got starts but were undone by Krunal Pandya's guile. Dhruv Jurel then started to look threatening and took the game deep. He hit 22 runs off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's last over and brought the equation to 18 off 12.
