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.
Rajasthan captain Ajinkya Rahane almost played a lone hand with the willow for his team as he batted through the innings to be 65 not out but their was no other real support as only Sanju Samson contributed 40.
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.
