Important half centuries from Manish Pandey (83* off 47) and Vijay Shankar (52* off 51) helped David Warner’s side jump to the fifth spot on the points table with eight points while the Royals slipped to the seventh place, also with eight, due to the difference in the net run rate. Rajasthan, however, have played one game more.
After restricting the Smith’s Rajasthan, who were asked to bat, to 154/6, it was an unbeaten 140-run partnership between Pandey and Shankar that helped Hyderabad home with 11 balls to spare.
