Seamer Siddarth Kaul led the way with the ball for the Sunrisers with 2-23 in four overs while four other bowlers picked up a wicket apiece in a disciplined bowling effort.

Earlier, Sunrisers skipper Kane Williamson top-scored 63 while Alex Hales made 45 as the visitors posted a total 151/7 in their allotted overs.
Jofra Archer was the best bowler on show for Rajasthan finishing with figures of 3-26 in his four overs.
