We are back for the chase!

...THE RUN CHASE…

Except for Bumrah and Mills to some extent, the Mumbai bowlers were really poor. Sams too bowled well in bits and pieces but the rest were taken to the cleaners. Pollard, Thampi, whose overs we believe were the momentum changing one and Ashwin was quite wayward with his lines and lengths and due to that, they will now be chasing a big score.

A lot will now depend on what kind of start do Mumbai get off too! The openers will have to do well. The middle order is a little inexperienced and Rajasthan will know that. Can Boult get a couple of early wickets against his former team? We will find out.

The start though was not the best for Rajasthan as they lost two wickets inside the Powerplay. However, Samson and Buttler played brilliantly and laid the platform for a big score. Buttler was the mainstay for Rajasthan in this innings with a brilliant ton. The rest batted around him and he is the major reason as to why his side have gotten close to 200. However, they will be a tad disappointed they did not cross the 200-run mark.

End of a power-packed batting performance from Rajasthan but Mumbai will be pleased they have not let them cross the 200-run mark which looked very possible at one stage. The last two overs is what has not let Rajasthan run away with the game and has also given Mumbai the momentum. Still though, Rajasthan will be pretty pleased with their position in the game.

Tymal Mills is back on.

Kieron Pollard to Shimron Hetmyer, A single now as this is pushed down to long on. End of a huge over. It seemed like the momentum was shifting back into the favor of Mumbai before this over but it is back in the favor of the batting side now.

Kieron Pollard to Shimron Hetmyer, LEG BYES! Again, very poor, down the leg side, Hetmyer looks to pull, it goes off the pads and races away to the fine leg fence.

Kieron Pollard to Shimron Hetmyer, WIDE! Well wide outside off, left alone. Extra run, does not help the cause of Mumbai!

Kieron Pollard to Shimron Hetmyer, ! Make that 20 with two balls to go! This is poor from Pollard, really not sure about his line. On the pads, this is worked fine and this one races away to the fine leg fence.

Drinks! The partnership between Sanju Samson and ​​​​Jos Buttler has been finally broken and this will give Mumbai hope to restrict Rajasthan to a chaseable total here.

Can't really blame him, he was looking to up the ante, one of the two had to go for it and he decided it will be him. Makes room, Pollard bowls it fuller and on middle, it is a slower one.

Outside off, Buttler looks to play it fine, it runs off the edge and a lot finer than he wanted to play and down to the third man fence. Fifty for Buttler. A very sensible knock from him so far. He needs to keep going and take his side to a big score.

Daniel Sams to Jos Buttler, ! That is a good effort in the field but in vain! Shorter and outside off, Buttler waits and then cuts it past point. The fielder in the deep, makes a lot of ground to his left and dives, he does try to push it back in but the ball rolls onto the ropes.

Drinks! Mumbai have done well to take two wickets in the Powerplay. Apart from the fourth over which was bowled by Basil Thampi, they have been disciplined and would look to put pressure on Rajasthan now as Sanju Samson joins Jos Buttler in the middle.

Kieron Pollard to Sanju Samson, A slower one and on middle, this is worked to mid-wicket.

Devdutt Padikkal looks to make use of the last ball of the first 6. He steps down the track, this is bowled short and on the body.

Basil Thampi to Jos Buttler, ! Up and over! Not off the middle but hit well enough. This is shorter and on middle, Buttler looks to pull, he is hurried onto the shot. It goes more off the splice and over mid on for a boundary.

Basil Thampi to Jos Buttler, Good start by Thampi! Goes full and on middle, this is worked to mid-wicket.

Jasprit Bumrah to Devdutt Padikkal, ! Up and over! Lovely shot, great use of the wrists! On middle, Padikkal whips it over mid on and gets off the mark with a boundary. A wicket and 5 runs from the over.

Jasprit Bumrah to Yashasvi Jaiswal, ! TAKEN! Straight into the hands! Soft dismissal and Bumrah bags a wicket early. On the pads, Yashasvi Jaiswal flicks it but straight to Tim David at square leg. Well-deserved wicket for Bumrah. He has been really good with the ball so far.

Jasprit Bumrah to Jos Buttler, Risky run! Had Murugan Ashwin hit, Yashasvi Jaiswal would have been a goner. He probably had more time to release the ball then he thought. On middle, Buttler looks to defend but gets an inside edge onto the pads, it rolls on the off side towards point. Buttler calls for one and Yashasvi Jaiswal is late in taking off.

Daniel Sams to Jos Buttler, Another good delivery! There is swing for the bowlers! This lands outside off and comes back in sharply. Buttler is taken by surprise. He is hit on the body. Buttler looks uncomfortable.

We are moments away from the action! This one promises to be a mouth-watering encounter, as two strong teams take the field. Mumbai players are in huddle and they now disperse to take their respective positions. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the openers for Rajasthan. Jasprit Bumrah to start with the new ball for Mumbai. Jos Buttler will take the strike. Here we go...

Trent Boult is down for a chat. He says he has had good memories in the Mumbai jersey but he is excited to represent Rajasthan and looking forward to this game. States it is about keeping simple and doing what he does, he tries to pitch it up and get it moving. Adds it is about building on the things they did in the last game, Mumbai are a quality side and he is hoping they can win another game. Ends by saying he has never played here before but all the wickets have offered some bounce and it

PITCH REPORT - Rohan Gavaskar is down for the pitch report. He says that it is a third game on this ground and it is a fresh pitch today. He adds that the previous two games produced two different types of scores and it was because lengths were different in the second game and the bowler found help when they went shorter. Mentions that overall, it is a good pitch to bat on and there will be lot of runs but if bowlers find their length then it will be slightly tougher for the batters. 

Mumbai (Unchanged Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Anmolpreet Singh, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams, Murugan Ashwin, Tymal Mills, Jasprit Bumrah, Basil Thampi. 

Rajasthan (Playing XI) - Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (C) (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Navdeep Saini (In place of Nathan Coulter-Nile), Prasidh Krishna, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Sanju Samson. the skipper of Rajasthan, says they also wanted to bowl first but they are pleased to bat first too. Mentions they just want to be smarter and adapt to the conditions quickly, they know they are a strong team but they need to keep up to the standards. Adds they have done a good job in the auction and they have no complains. Informs Saini comes in for Nathan Coulter-Nile.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says there is no reason to bowl first, it is a good pitch and chasing has been the trend of the tournament. Mentions dew is not going to be a factor but they want to chase and see what they can do. Mentions they are here to correct their wrongs from the last game and they will look to rectify their mistakes, they are a young side and will look to learn with every game. Informs they are playing the same team.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Mumbai. They have elected to BOWL first. 

... MATCH DAY …

Mumbai have been traditionally slow starters in the Indian T20 League and they continued the trend with a loss in the first game. However, they will be disappointed with the way they let the game slip away in the death overs and that is one aspect of the game, they would be trying to work on. The batting unit did decently with Ishan Kishan leading the way and with Suryakumar Yadav back in the fold, the batting lineup looks quite a formidable one. Jasprit Bumrah had an off-day in the first gam

Rajasthan, on the other hand, displayed their might by becoming the only team in the season so far to win a game while defending the target. They have a bowling lineup to envy with four quality bowlers and the batting also looks formidable with plenty of firepower. The hard work at mega auction seems to have paid rich dividends but it has been just one game and they need to put forward consistent performance to go deep in the tournament. Can Sanju Samson and his boys make it two in two? Or will

It’s time for the Super Saturday to unveil it’s colours and first up we have Mumbai locking horns against Rajasthan in a day game. We welcome everyone to our coverage as Mumbai steps out to get their first points on the board while we can expect Rajasthan to do everything in their control to continue the winning momentum. 

We are back for the chase!

...THE RUN CHASE…

Except for Bumrah and Mills to some extent, the Mumbai bowlers were really poor. Sams too bowled well in bits and pieces but the rest were taken to the cleaners. Pollard, Thampi, whose overs we believe were the momentum changing one and Ashwin was quite wayward with his lines and lengths and due to that, they will now be chasing a big score.

A lot will now depend on what kind of start do Mumbai get off too! The openers will have to do well. The middle order is a little inexperienced and Rajasthan will know that. Can Boult get a couple of early wickets against his former team? We will find out.

The start though was not the best for Rajasthan as they lost two wickets inside the Powerplay. However, Samson and Buttler played brilliantly and laid the platform for a big score. Buttler was the mainstay for Rajasthan in this innings with a brilliant ton. The rest batted around him and he is the major reason as to why his side have gotten close to 200. However, they will be a tad disappointed they did not cross the 200-run mark.

End of a power-packed batting performance from Rajasthan but Mumbai will be pleased they have not let them cross the 200-run mark which looked very possible at one stage. The last two overs is what has not let Rajasthan run away with the game and has also given Mumbai the momentum. Still though, Rajasthan will be pretty pleased with their position in the game.

Tymal Mills to Riyan Parag, ! CAUGHT! Tymal Mills gets the wicket off the last ball and finishes with three wickets! Good comeback by Mumbai! A low full toss on middle.

Drinks! Mumbai have done well to take two wickets in the Powerplay. Apart from the fourth over which was bowled by Basil Thampi, they have been disciplined and would look to put pressure on Rajasthan now as Sanju Samson joins Jos Buttler in the middle.

Adds it is about building on the things they did in the last game, Mumbai are a quality side and he is hoping they can win another game. Ends by saying he has never played here before but all the wickets have offered some bounce and it

PITCH REPORT - Rohan Gavaskar is down for the pitch report. He says that it is a third game on this ground and it is a fresh pitch today. He adds that the previous two games produced two different types of scores and it was because lengths were different in the second game and the bowler found help when they went shorter. Mentions that overall, it is a good pitch to bat on and there will be lot of runs but if bowlers find their length then it will be slightly tougher for the batters. 

Mumbai (Unchanged Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Ishan Kishan (WK), Anmolpreet Singh, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams, Murugan Ashwin, Tymal Mills, Jasprit Bumrah, Basil Thampi. 

Rajasthan (Playing XI) - Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (C) (WK), Shimron Hetmyer, Riyan Parag, Ravichandran Ashwin, Navdeep Saini (In place of Nathan Coulter-Nile), Prasidh Krishna, Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Sanju Samson. the skipper of Rajasthan, says they also wanted to bowl first but they are pleased to bat first too. Mentions they just want to be smarter and adapt to the conditions quickly, they know they are a strong team but they need to keep up to the standards. Adds they have done a good job in the auction and they have no complains. Informs Saini comes in for Nathan Coulter-Nile.

Rohit Sharma, the skipper of Mumbai, says there is no reason to bowl first, it is a good pitch and chasing has been the trend of the tournament. Mentions dew is not going to be a factor but they want to chase and see what they can do. Mentions they are here to correct their wrongs from the last game and they will look to rectify their mistakes, they are a young side and will look to learn with every game. Informs they are playing the same team.

TOSS - The coin goes up and lands in favour of Mumbai. They have elected to BOWL first. 

... MATCH DAY …

Mumbai have been traditionally slow starters in the Indian T20 League and they continued the trend with a loss in the first game. However, they will be disappointed with the way they let the game slip away in the death overs and that is one aspect of the game, they would be trying to work on. The batting unit did decently with Ishan Kishan leading the way and with Suryakumar Yadav back in the fold, the batting lineup looks quite a formidable one. Jasprit Bumrah had an off-day in the first gam

Rajasthan, on the other hand, displayed their might by becoming the only team in the season so far to win a game while defending the target. They have a bowling lineup to envy with four quality bowlers and the batting also looks formidable with plenty of firepower. The hard work at mega auction seems to have paid rich dividends but it has been just one game and they need to put forward consistent performance to go deep in the tournament. Can Sanju Samson and his boys make it two in two? Or will

It’s time for the Super Saturday to unveil it’s colours and first up we have Mumbai locking horns against Rajasthan in a day game. We welcome everyone to our coverage as Mumbai steps out to get their first points on the board while we can expect Rajasthan to do everything in their control to continue the winning momentum.
