In a challenging encounter in Guwahati, Punjab Kings triumphed over Rajasthan Royals with a five-wicket victory.

Skipper Sam Curran's composed unbeaten 63, supported by Jitesh Sharma's contribution of 22, anchored Punjab's chase on a sluggish pitch.

Despite Rajasthan's early wickets, including that of openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag and Ravichandran Ashwin attempted to revive the innings with a 50-run partnership. However, Rajasthan could only manage 144 runs. Avesh Khan's early breakthroughs and the spin duo of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ashwin restricted Punjab to 49/4 initially.

Nevertheless, Curran and Sharma steadied the chase before Ashutosh Sharma joined Curran to secure victory with 1.1 overs to spare. Curran's leadership and match-winning knock reflected his pre-match determination to play with pride. Despite glimpses of brilliance from Parag and Ashwin, Rajasthan's inconsistent batting display ultimately led to their defeat.

Here are the key moments from the match.
