The Royals will be pretty happy with this chase. Samson can be seen walking away without looking too worried. The pitch is flat, some boundaries are short and the ball is wet, the dew could only get worse and that would mean batting becoming easier as the ball skids through in the 2nd innings. Prabhsimran gave PBS a rollicking start, but his captain got stuck. While Prabhsimran smashed a fine 34-ball 60, Dhawan at one point was on 30 off 30. He did get better as his innings progressed, Rajapaksa was unfortunate to be forced to retire out, Jitesh played a nice little cameo, but PBKS didn't get the finish they'd have wanted. Ravi Ashwin and Holder were outstanding while the others went for a few. RR's batting loased with Holder set to bat at 9 and they'll fancy chasing this down. Back shortly for their reply..
