Cricket Scorecard

Hardik Pandya tells that he has worked hard before the tournament. Says that he was trying really hard but didn't find the rhythm but is happy to return to hitting sixes. Tells that he hit a couple of sixes off the toe end and that's why he was checking the bat. Mentions that the other reason for that was the fact that he loves the bat which he uses and has been using for more than 3 years now. Feels that they have got enough on the board.

Rajasthan were poor with the ball, barring the middle overs. Archer started well but they were taken apart in the middle overs by Kishan and Yadav. Gopal brought them back in the game with a couple of wickets in the middle overs and that brought hope for them to stop Mumbai to a low score but Hardik Pandya's blitz in the end stopped all their thoughts and they have been given a huge score on the board. 

Right then, Rajasthan need 196 to win! They have the batting firepower to do it but have been a little out of form. Can they rise from the ashes and chase this core down? Mumbai, on the other hand, would look to get early wickets. They should beliefve that they can defend this score. Join us for the chase in a while.

Mumbai were good with the bat. They lost Quinton de Kock early but Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan steadied things up with a brilliant partnership. They suffered a hiccup as they lost three wickets in quick succession and it looked like that they will end up with a cheap score. But Hardik Pandya had other plans in mind. Saurabh Tiwary started the onslaught but once he fell, Hardik took over and what we saw next was pure mayhem. He smashed a 21-ball 60 to help Mumbai reach 195 which should b

Quinton de Kock is there for a chat. He says that it is just about momentum which has helped him. Goes onto say that he does not find it difficult and he has played a lot of cricket now and he knows how he has to adapt. Says that this team always sets a high bar and sets a high standard and they go on with that. Adds that Rohit Sharma is doing really well and wishes him a speedy recovery. 

Kieron Pollard, the Mumbai skipper, says that they will bat first. Informs that they have made one change as Nathan Coulter-Nile goes out for James Pattinson. Adds that they will look to bat and bat well and post a good score on the board. Says that the pitch is looking good and hopes that they can perform well with the bat.

Let's talk about Mumbai, the table-toppers first. Most important thing first! Will Rohit Sharma return for this game? They didn't miss him much in their last game though as Pollard led the team and they thumped Chennai. A 10-wicket victory for the champions against the defending champions. Bumrah and Boult were at their supreme best against the meek-looking Chennai batting. Rahul Chahar joined them with his spin and ripped Chennai apart. Chasing a small total, Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock we

Toss - Mumbai have won the toss and they have elected to bat first. 

Rajasthan (Unchanged playing XI) - Robin Uthappa, Ben Stokes, Sanju Samson (WK), Steven Smith (C), Jos Buttler, Riyan Parag, Rahul Tewatia, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Ankit Rajpoot, Kartik Tyagi.

Hopes that things turn well for them in this game. Says that they have got 3 games and they will try to win all the games and see how things pan out.

Hello and welcome to the game no. 45 of the Indian T20 League on this double header day! Mumbai taking on Rajasthan! Two teams playing completely opposite to each other. Mumbai are consistently putting up a fine show with both bat and ball to thump the opposition while Rajasthan have failed to find the consistency and momentum.

So, the big question! Will Rohit play this game? What about Rajasthan? Will they make any change to their side? On whose side the toss will land? We will find out these soon. Stay with us.

What would Rajasthan do? They have lost 7 of their 11 games and another defeat would mean that they won't have much breathing space. In their last encounter against Hyderabad, they were going well with the bat but failed to get going towards the end. They started well with the ball as both the openers were removed by Archer very early but after that, it was just one-way traffic. They had no response to the amazing batting of Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar as the duo handed them an 8-wicket defe

Hardik Pandya tells that he has worked hard before the tournament. Says that he was trying really hard but didn't find the rhythm but is happy to return to hitting sixes. Tells that he hit a couple of sixes off the toe end and that's why he was checking the bat. Mentions that the other reason for that was the fact that he loves the bat which he uses and has been using for more than 3 years now. Feels that they have got enough on the board.

Rajasthan were poor with the ball, barring the middle overs. Archer started well but they were taken apart in the middle overs by Kishan and Yadav. Gopal brought them back in the game with a couple of wickets in the middle overs and that brought hope for them to stop Mumbai to a low score but Hardik Pandya's blitz in the end stopped all their thoughts and they have been given a huge score on the board. 

Right then, Rajasthan need 196 to win! They have the batting firepower to do it but have been a little out of form. Can they rise from the ashes and chase this core down? Mumbai, on the other hand, would look to get early wickets. They should beliefve that they can defend this score. Join us for the chase in a while.

Mumbai were good with the bat. They lost Quinton de Kock early but Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan steadied things up with a brilliant partnership. They suffered a hiccup as they lost three wickets in quick succession and it looked like that they will end up with a cheap score. But Hardik Pandya had other plans in mind. Saurabh Tiwary started the onslaught but once he fell, Hardik took over and what we saw next was pure mayhem. He smashed a 21-ball 60 to help Mumbai reach 195 which should b

Quinton de Kock is there for a chat. He says that it is just about momentum which has helped him. Goes onto say that he does not find it difficult and he has played a lot of cricket now and he knows how he has to adapt. Says that this team always sets a high bar and sets a high standard and they go on with that. Adds that Rohit Sharma is doing really well and wishes him a speedy recovery. 

Kieron Pollard, the Mumbai skipper, says that they will bat first. Informs that they have made one change as Nathan Coulter-Nile goes out for James Pattinson. Adds that they will look to bat and bat well and post a good score on the board. Says that the pitch is looking good and hopes that they can perform well with the bat.

Let's talk about Mumbai, the table-toppers first. Most important thing first! Will Rohit Sharma return for this game? They didn't miss him much in their last game though as Pollard led the team and they thumped Chennai. A 10-wicket victory for the champions against the defending champions. Bumrah and Boult were at their supreme best against the meek-looking Chennai batting. Rahul Chahar joined them with his spin and ripped Chennai apart. Chasing a small total, Ishan Kishan and Quinton de Kock we

Toss - Mumbai have won the toss and they have elected to bat first.

Hopes that things turn well for them in this game. Says that they have got 3 games and they will try to win all the games and see how things pan out.

Hello and welcome to the game no. 45 of the Indian T20 League on this double header day! Mumbai taking on Rajasthan! Two teams playing completely opposite to each other. Mumbai are consistently putting up a fine show with both bat and ball to thump the opposition while Rajasthan have failed to find the consistency and momentum.

So, the big question! Will Rohit play this game? What about Rajasthan? Will they make any change to their side? On whose side the toss will land? We will find out these soon. Stay with us.

What would Rajasthan do? They have lost 7 of their 11 games and another defeat would mean that they won't have much breathing space. In their last encounter against Hyderabad, they were going well with the bat but failed to get going towards the end. They started well with the ball as both the openers were removed by Archer very early but after that, it was just one-way traffic. They had no response to the amazing batting of Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar as the duo handed them an 8-wicket defe
