Match Ended   
193/4 (20.0/20)
136 (18.1/20)
Mumbai Indians beat Rajasthan Royals by 57 runs
That's it from Match 20 in the 2020 Indian T20 League then. On Wednesday, 7th October 2020, Chennai take on Kolkata at 6 pm Local (1400 GMT). The action continues in Abu Dhabi. We hope to have your company again. Till then, take care and good night!
Suryakumar Yadav is the MAN OF THE MATCH. He says that he is feeling much better (regarding the knock on his helmet while batting). Felt that this innings from him was coming. In the earlier games, he was just finding ways to get out, he honestly admits. Surya says he loves the added responsibility at the top of the order. States that the team has asked him to play his natural game. Surya adds that the team winning is the most important feeling. He goes on to say that from the team's point of view he batted right till the end and then the bowlers came and did their job well.
Rohit Sharma, the victorious Mumbai captain, says that they have got quality in their side. States that it is about getting out there and getting the job done. Says that his players are quality players. Adds further that the conditions are very helpful here. He says that initially when the League was decided to happen in the UAE, they were unsure of how the conditions would be. But luckily, he says that the conditions have been helpful.
Trent Boult is down for a chat. He says that Mumbai had a pretty good gameplan coming in. Says that in this game, in Abu Dhabi, the objective was to take all the wickets and they have done that. States that in this tournament every franchise intimidates you. Says further that in this tournament you can see good contest between bat and ball.
Steven Smith, Rajasthan's skipper, says that Rajasthan were losing wickets early and that they have not been able to get off to a good start, in the last 3 games. Those are the reasons for not doing well, he says. Hopes Stokes can get well soon. Believes it is about implementing the plans properly which he honestly concedes that they have not done properly in the last three games.
Earlier, after winning the toss, Mumbai opted to bat first. They got off to an excellent start and Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya finished off things well in the end. The former was unbeaten at 79 and ended up registering his highest score in the League. Later, another fantastic display with the ball and the Men in Blue and Gold registered their 4th win in 6 games and have moved back to the top of the points table. Stay with us for the presentation...
Mumbai were stupendous and clinical throughout. They were comprehensive across all departments and thoroughly deserved the victory. 2 catches, one by substitute Anukul Roy and the other one by Pollard to dismiss Buttler were the cream of Mumbai's fielding today. Bumrah was the highlight with the ball, taking 4/20 in his four overs. Pattinson and Boult nabbed a couple each while Chahar and Pollard got one. Krunal and Pollard took a beating in their two overs but in the end, it barely mattered.
With Tom Curran sent up the order, the two Englishmen enjoyed a 56-run stand for the 5th wicket. But eventually, Buttler fell for 70 and the chase was largely done and dusted. The last 5 wickets fell for 38 runs and while the platform looked set for Tewatia to do another Sharjah, it was not to be. A disappointing day in the end for Rajasthan, overall.
Mumbai wiped out Jaiswal, Smith and Samson real quick and that largely set the tone for the victory. At 12/3, you would have felt that all was done and dusted. But Buttler was there. A faint hope? Yes. He and Lomror were looking to stabilize things, going slowly in the chase. That, in turn, started building pressure and Lomror crumbled, 42/4 were Rajasthan then. Buttler then decided enough was enough. He started getting the biggies and continued the hitting after getting to his half ton. However, there was just too much on his shoulders.
A simple win for Mumbai in the end. 57 runs, simple but big. Rohit Sharma is a happy skipper. He salutes the support staff and the owners present in the stadium. There was never really a challenge for them, except Buttler. They braved that, got him and then it was all too easy in the end.

James Pattinson To Ankit Rajpoot OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT. The match ends. Well before time, in spite of all the delays. 11 balls not used by Rajasthan. Not that it would have mattered. But if it does come close in the net run rate section, towards the end, they could end up rueing. A length ball, outside off, Rajpoot backs away and looks to go inside out but simply manages to give a leaping catch to Rohit Sharma at short extra cover. MUMBAI WIN BY 57 RUNS.
Kartik Tyagi is the last man in. James Pattinson to bowl as well.

Jasprit Bumrah To Ankit Rajpoot
Great stop by Quinton de Kock. A high full toss, outside off, Rajpoot backs away and slashes hard. Gets a thick outside edge and the ball races away. Now, Quinton is moving to his left but has to retrace his steps to his right side. Sticks his right glove out and stops the ball, taking care of the helmet behind too. That would have been 5, had that hit.

Excellent yorker. Around middle, dug out to the leg side.

DRINKS! Well, nothing much to strategize for Rajasthan here. They need 81 in the last 5 overs. Yes, teams have gotten 80 and more in the last 5 overs many times in the League earlier. They have Tewatia but still, pragmatically, it is more about reducing the margin of defeat as much as possible here.

Bouncer, Tewatia backs away and looks to play the upper cut. But the bounce gets the better of him. De Kock jumps and does well to collect that.
Who is next? Mr. Tewatia. That day he hit 5 sixes in an over against Punjab. Tonight, he might need 10 sixes in 10 balls and still fall short.

James Pattinson To Jos Buttler OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Another fantastic catch, stunning. This time it is Kieron Pollard. Jos Buttler goes after a fantastic 70 off 44 and takes Rajasthan's little hopes on the way as well. The delivery was fullish on the stumps, Buttler swings across and looks to go over long on. However, it was the big Pollard there. He jumps and sticks out a hand, fails to hold on on the first attempt but safely pouches onto that in the second attempt. An astonishing catch, only Kieron Pollard could have hung onto that! 96 needed in 39 for Rajasthan.

Chahar sees Curran coming down and slips it down the leg side, Curran looks to play but misses. De Kock does well to get a good deal to his left, take it and then he looks to effect the stumping but misses. Excellent effort from the keeper and good thinking from the bowler to bowl a short one there.

Rahul Chahar To Mahipal Lomror OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Another sensational catch. This edition of the League has not at all been short of this. Another Under-19 sensation, Anukul Roy, the substitute fielder, takes a sensational catch. Floated outside off, Lomror comes down the pitch and looks to chip this over covers. He however does not time it right and gets it high in the air. Anukul, at short cover, runs back, dives and plucks a sensational one. 'Magnificent' goes Bishop, on-air!
DRINKS! Rajasthan need a mssive move-on. Forget about winning, but to stay competitive in the tournament, they need to have a decent net run rate. Play out your 12 overs and try and get as close to that 193 as possible.

Oooh... That one did not miss the off stump by much! In fact, how did it miss is the bigger question. Bumrah bowls an excellent yorker just around off, millimeters away from the pole. Buttler looks to dig it out but misses. Agonizing for Boom and Mumbai. That one missed the timber by just!

Trent Boult To Sanju Samson OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Excellent bowling from Boult. Smart bowling, smart field placement from Sharma. Boult bangs it short and on top of the stumps, Samson looks to pull but gets a top edge. It goes just where the mid on fielder was stationed. Rohit Sharma, the skipper, takes an easy catch and Rajasthan in early trouble. 3-down before the end of the Powerplay.

Trent Boult To Jos Buttler
Misses! Innovation does not get the desired result. Buttler looks to go across and scoop this over fine leg. It was fuller and close to the leg pole. He ends up missing it.

Jasprit Bumrah To Sanju Samson
A huge appeal for a caught behind. Bumrah is shouting. But no says the umpire. Mumbai do not take the review as well. What an over for the defending champions this! This was a length delivery around off, nips back in after pitching. Samson looked to play at it. There is some noise as the ball passes through to the keeper, who takes it. Mumbai appeal but no says the umpire. Perhaps it clipped the top of the pad on its way.

Jasprit Bumrah To Steven Smith OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! That's a huge wicket for Mumbai. Smith is strong on the leg side and plays the heave often. But this time that proves to be his undoing. He shuffles across and looks to heave over mid-wicket. Bumrah bowls it fullish outside off. It pitches and comes in a touch. Takes a faint inside edge and goes to the left of de Kock. The keeper dives to his left and takes an excellent catch.

Jasprit Bumrah To Jos Buttler
Shortish and around middle and leg, Buttler looks to clip it on the leg side but the extra bounce does him in. Gets it on the pad. It goes further off the deflection to the off side and a leg bye is taken.

Trent Boult To Yashasvi Jaiswal OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! That's a peach of a delivery from Trent Boult. The youngster has to go back after another dismal outing. Boult lands it on a length outside off and gets it to nip away after pitching. Yashashvi goes after it but gets an outside edge. Quinton takes it safely and Mumbai draw first blood.
