The 52nd match of the IPL 2023 was played between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur where Sandeep Sharma’s No Ball in the last delivery of the match changed the result. The host team, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and opted to bat first in their home ground.

The home team scored a massive total of 214 at the end of 20 overs. They scored this huge score with the help of brilliant knocks by Jos Buttler and Skipper Sanju Samson, supported by Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Buttler hit 95 runs off 59 deliveries while the RR skipper scored 66 runs in 38 balls and remained unbeaten.

The visitors came to bat in the second innings, with Anmolpreet Singh and Abhishek Sharma as their openers. Sunrisers Hyderabad displayed a combined team effort as more or less everyone who batted contributed with runs.

Till the 17th over of the match, it looked like Rajasthan Royals will win the game comfortably, but Glenn Phillips turned the tables in the second last over of the match in which 24 runs were scored. However, Phillips got out on 5th ball of the over.

Tail-enders, Marco Jansen and Abdul Samad were batting in the last over where they hit 2, 6, 2, 1, 1 in the first 5 deliveries. With 5 runs to win off the final ball of the match, Abdul Samad miscued his stroke off Sandeep Sharma’s bowling, and it appeared that RR had won the match. The celebrations, however, were cut short when the umpire signaled no-ball. Replays revealed that Sandeep had overstepped, forcing him to bowl the final ball again. Samad was on strike again, and this time he made no mistake, slamming the ball directly over the bowler’s head for a six, and SRH finished with the greatest chase at the site.
