RR Chase Down 223 as Ferreira–Dubey Power Royals to Stunning Win Over PBKS

In a high-scoring thriller, Rajasthan Royals pulled off a remarkable six-wicket victory against Punjab Kings, successfully chasing a daunting target of 223 at New Chandigarh.

The chase began explosively with 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi smashing 43 off just 16 balls, putting early pressure on Punjab’s bowlers. Yashasvi Jaiswal then carried the momentum forward with a fluent 51, guiding RR to a strong powerplay.

However, Punjab fought back through spin, with Yuzvendra Chahal picking up three crucial wickets to shift the game’s balance. With the required rate climbing, the match seemed to tilt in PBKS’s favour.

That’s when Shubham Dubey and Donovan Ferreira turned the tide. The duo stitched an unbeaten 77-run partnership, blending composure with aggression. Dubey’s quickfire 31* off 12 set the platform, while Ferreira’s match-winning 52* off 26 sealed the chase in style.

Earlier, Punjab Kings posted a formidable 222/4, powered by a blistering unbeaten 62 from Marcus Stoinis. Despite their dominant batting display, it wasn’t enough to stop Rajasthan’s fearless finish.

The win marks Punjab’s first defeat of the season, while Rajasthan climbs the table with a statement victory.
