On a track that was two-paced, Royals rode on Jos Buttler's 56-ball-89 to post 188 for six in 20 overs, which seemed like a winning total considering the pressure of the occasion. As it happened | ScorecardBut Pandya (40 no off 27 balls) and Miller (68* off 38 balls) added 106 runs in exactly 10 overs to seal the deal with three balls to spare.
