CHANDIGARH, India (AP) — Shimron Hetmyer provided the finishing touches to Rajasthan Royals’ last-over win against Punjab Kings in an Indian Premier League thriller on Saturday.

Punjab needed 10 runs from the last over, and Hetmyer (27 not out off 10 balls) held his nerve against death-bowling specialist Arshdeep Singh. After two dot deliveries, Hetmyer hit 6-2-6 to help Rajasthan cross the finish line with a ball left.

Rajasthan finished with 152-7 in reply to Punjab’s 147-8.

The Royals cemented top spot in the league with a third straight win, while the slumping Kings were handed a fourth loss in six games.

Put in to bat, Punjab missed Shikhar Dhawan and English allrounder Sam Curran stepped in as skipper.

The hosts were pegged back regularly by losing wickets.

Rajasthan’s spinners squeezed the scoring rate. Yuzvendra Chahal took 1-31 in four overs and Keshav Maharaj picked 2-23. Maharaj dismissed Jonny Bairstow (15) and Curran (6) and helped to reduce Punjab to 52-4 in 9.3 overs.
