Right then! We all know how Mumbai have fallen apart while batting and Rajasthan would be surely aware of that. Someone will have to anchor the innings for Mumbai. Will the birthday boy stand up today or will Chahal and Ashwin again dominate with the ball? We will find out soon as the chase is coming up shortly. 

... THE CHASE...

A decent batting performance from Rajasthan and they will be confident to defend this score as the pitch is hard to bat on. It was again their star batter, Jos Buttler who anchored the innings, he read the pitch and rather than going bonkers this time, played a more experienced knock while others struggled to carry on with their innings. It was Ravichandran Ashwin's innings at the fag end that helped Rajasthan crawl up past the 150-run mark. 

Kumar Kartikeya is up for a quick chat. He says that he calls himself a mystery bowler and he enjoyed bowling in his first game. Adds that he was a bit nervous when he got to know that he is playing this game. Tells that he got a lot of confidence after having a chat with Sachin Tendulkar. Mentions that there is some turn on the surface and that helped him.

Even Mumbai will be happy with this score. There were few chances not taken early on, including one of Buttler's and he made the most of the given life. Mumbai handled the middle phase really well with Kumar Kartikeya being the pick of the bowlers. He had an excellent maiden outing with Mumbai. Bumrah and Meredith were decent in the backend as well and the bowlers have done a fairly decent job here. It is up to the batters now to chase this one.

Stay tuned for further updates.

The last time Mumbai played it was Sachin Tendulkar’s birthday but the result was again unconventional. Today it’s the Hitman, Rohit Sharma’s birthday and although the season already looks gloomy, Mumbai will hope that the skipper would give a return gift to his team by registering their first win of the season.

Super Saturday means a double dose of entertainment and the second match is between two teams who are travelling in unparalleled ways, it is Rajasthan vs Mumbai. One team is at the top half of the points table, while the other is hanging down with a sullen look. On that note, a very warm welcome to our coverage. Who are you cheering for tonight?

Right then! We all know how Mumbai have fallen apart while batting and Rajasthan would be surely aware of that. Someone will have to anchor the innings for Mumbai. Will the birthday boy stand up today or will Chahal and Ashwin again dominate with the ball? We will find out soon as the chase is coming up shortly.

... MATCH DAY...

Rajasthan are flying high this season with a wonderful squad and some match-winning players in them. They are on a three-game winning streak and also had the upper hand when these two sides met earlier this season. Will they do the double or will Mumbai find a breakthrough? We will find out soon. Stay tuned for further updates.

The last time Mumbai played it was Sachin Tendulkar’s birthday but the result was again unconventional. Today it’s the Hitman, Rohit Sharma’s birthday and although the season already looks gloomy, Mumbai will hope that the skipper would give a return gift to his team by registering their first win of the season.

Super Saturday means a double dose of entertainment and the second match is between two teams who are travelling in unparalleled ways, it is Rajasthan vs Mumbai. One team is at the top half of the points table, while the other is hanging down with a sullen look. On that note, a very warm welcome to our coverage. Who are you cheering for tonight?
