Match 20 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 witnessed the Rajasthan Royals (RR) complete a nervy three-run over win against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). The Sanju Samson-led side reclaimed top spot in the points table with a win at the Wankhede Stadium.

After being put in to bat first, the Royals' batting unit crumbled against the LSG bowlers. A 68-run partnership between Shimron Hetmyer and Ravichandran Ashwin was needed to revive the innings after they found themselves at 67/4.

Hetmyer continued his fine form in the middle order and remained unbeaten on 59 off 36 deliveries.

Chasing 166, LSG were off to the worst possible start. The side lost their captain to a first-ball duck and were soon reduced to 14/3 inside the powerplay. Quinton de Kock held the innings from one end and was the top scorer for the IPL team with 39 runs to his name.

Marcus Stoinis launched a late assault, remaining unbeaten on 38 off just 17 balls, but couldn't carry his team home.
