The current match between GT and RR is highly suspenseful as GT has set a target of 177 runs and RR who are currently batting, have a score of 138/16.2. As a cricket enthusiast, it's always thrilling to make guesses about which team will come out on top. You have mentioned some interesting points such as RR's previous match where Buttler had a brilliant performance but couldn't find luck this time. Samson has been performing well with a half-century despite a slow start of 32/60. Padikkal has also been making efforts for a good performance although RR's position in the match was challenging. Though the match is now in the final stages and we'll have to see how it unfolds.
After 12 overs when RR were at 66 for 4 no one were thinking they can do business like this Hetmyer done amazing job in last eight overs and turn the tables in their favor what a batsman and what a display of batting by this amazing player in death overs.
After having few early loses things were looking difficult, but Samson built good foundation for the RR which helps Hetmyer for having a win like this from defending champions in this style amazing game of cricket between two quality teams which have services of the best players in this business now after this win RR at the top of the table with eight overs which they have from five matches and no team going to challenge them for this spot in next round.
I almost thought that this is an impossible chase for RR after seeing the initial overs but eventually tables really turned altogether. I feel dew obviously is a major factor in these type of matches and you'll often see such drastic twists in matches where dew is in play. Because at the end the ball doesn't grips so bowling level goes way down. Just like in the last over I didn't expect Rashid Khan would go for such a six. But yes all credits to Samson and Hetmyr it looked as if these two were playing on a different pitch than the rest.
