On match 39 of Dream11 IPL 2020 both RR and SRH were very keen to end up on a victorious note as it was a must win situation for both. Earlier , Srh had won the toss and had elected to field first. RR retained the same playing XI while SRH made two changes to their line-up, bringing in Shahbaz Nadeem and Jason Holder in place of Basil Thampi and injured Kane Williamson.

RR went with their usual opening pair of Robbie and Ben Stokes and
Robin Uthappa hit the first boundary on the final ball of the second over bowled by Holder. As SANDEEP Sharma continued with his spell , Uthapla flicked one for a six before hammering a four in the next over off Sandeep Sharma. As Jason holder continued with in the 4th over ,
Uthappa made a silly call for a quick run but Holder caught him short of his crease.

Sanju Samson, who joined Stokes in the middle, was looking fine as he creamed two fours in the fifth over before RR moved to 47/1 after 6 overs.Stokes who had a bit of luck was this time dropped by Vijay Shankar as he could not hold on to a catch in the eighth over. In the next three overs, RR scored 20 runs.

While the duo of Stokes and Samson completed a 50-run stand in the 12th over, RR lost both the important wickets in quick succession. First, Samson got out for 36 after Holder picked his first wicket of the match. Samson tried to make room and cut it fine but the ball knocked off the zingbails.
In the next over, Rashid Khan got Stokes out after the ball punched his pads and hit the stumps. While skipper Steve Smith and Jos Buttler took RR past hundred in the 15th over, Vijay Shankar got Buttler out for 9 after the batsman was caught at backward point by Shahbaz Nadeem.

RR were 118/4 after 17 overs and needed some quick smashing. 18 year old Riyan Parag took on T Natarajan in the 18th over, hitting him for two fours and a six. However, Warner brought in Jason Holder who dismissed both Smith and Riyan Parag in the 19th over.
Jofra Archer ended the innings with a short cameo of 16* off 7 balls as RR eventually posted 154/6 on the board.
Defending 154, RR were off to a fabulous start after Ben Stokes took a flying catch in the second slip to dismiss big gun David Warner in the very first over off Jofra Archer.
The right arm speedstar struck for the second time in the powerplay as he disturbed the timber to dismiss his english teammate Jonny Bairstow in the third over.

Pandey was looking very dangerous and went after Tyagi once again, hitting the young pacer for four and two sixes as SRH scored 18 in the final over of the powerplay to move closer to 60. He and Vijay Shankar completed a fifty-run partnership in the eighth over.In the next over, Manish Pandey brought up his half century in 28 balls.
