Gujarat waltz to the top on the back of Afghan duo’s exploits
Neither with the bat, nor with the ball could make an impact for Rajasthan Royals as Gujarat Titans completed a dominant 9-wicket win, with 37 balls to spare, in Jaipur, on Friday. The Afghanistan spin duo of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmed combined to bag five wickets to bundle out the hosts for 118 before GT’s top three had smooth sailing in the chase.
Brief scores:
Rajasthan Royals 118 in 17.5 overs (Sanju Samson 30, Trent Boult 15; Rashid Khan 3-14, Noor Ahmed 2-25) lost to Gujarat Titans 119/1 in 13.5 overs (Wriddhiman Saha 41*, Hardik Pandya 39*) by 9 wickets
