Chasing 175 for a victory, the Royals got a quick start as they scored 39 runs from the first 3 overs. But things took a drastic turn since from the fourth over bowled by Wahab Riaz. The first ball of the over saw Liton Das being caught by the substitute fielder Jaker Ali. The Riaz-Jaker Ali combo didn’t stop there, as the same fielder caught 2 more catches in that over to dismiss Alok Kapali and the veteran Shoaib Malik without opening their respective accounts. Ravi Bopara (10 runs from 11 balls) who was trying to build a partnership with Nahidul Islam (14 runs from 19 balls) was ran out by Asif Ali.
All the hopes of Royals, were depending on the next man who came to the crease - Andre Russell. But Hasan Mahmud sent back the danger man in the 11th over, which made the remaining process easy for the Platoons. RSR were eventually all out for 100 and Riaz was awarded the Man of the Match for his magical spell of 3.4-1-8-5.
