Samson s stunning ton in vain as Punjab Kings clinch thriller
By: ANI
Mumbai: Sanju Samson s fighting hundred went in vain as Arshdeep Singh held his nerves in the final over to help Punjab Kings register a thrilling win over Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede on Monday.
KL Rahul s calm and composed knock, aided by Deepak Hooda s belligerent hitting, helped Punjab Kings post 221 in the allotted 20 overs. In response, Rajasthan Royals fell just five runs short of the target to clinch the game. With Ben Stokes back in the hut, Jos Buttler and Samson had revived Rajasthan Royals innings before the English batsman lost the plot and got out in the eighth over.
His Majesty Sultan Haitham Bin Tarik on Monday exchanged greetings over phone on the advent of the blessed occasion of the holy month of Ramadan with King Hamad bin Issa Al Khalifa of Bahrain.
