Jofra Archer delivered a match-winning performance, claiming three wickets, including a double blow in the same over by dismissing Priyansh Arya and Punjab Kings captain Shreyas Iyer. He later removed Arshdeep Singh in the final over, helping Rajasthan Royals hand Punjab Kings their first defeat of the season with a 50-run victory. Despite Nehal Wadhera’s half-century and an effort to anchor Punjab’s innings, the dismissals of Wadhera and Glenn Maxwell shifted momentum entirely in Rajasthan’s favor.
