Mujeeb's 3-27 restricted Rajasthan to 152-9 and Punjab then scored 155-4 in 18.4 overs.
 
Mujeeb, 17, has now taken 12 wickets and is currently fifth in the list of most wicket-takers.

Kings XI is now third with 12 points from six victories, two behind leaders Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings.
 
Rajasthan is at the bottom of the table with only three wins from nine matches.
 
“It wasn’t easy to bat on here, but we needed 170-175,”' Rajasthan captain Ajinkya Rahane said after the match. 
 
“We need to learn from this, it’s our ninth game, the bowlers are doing well but the batsmen, including me, haven’t performed well enough.''
