That's it from us. Phew! What a Sunday we have had. Two games and both going right down to the wire. Earlier, Chennai managed to defend while in this one Mumbai failed to do the same. This win will surely boost Rajasthan's morale going forward. Tomorrow we have single games as Delhi will welcome Punjab in Feroz Shah Kotla. Do tune in at 2000 IST to catch all the action from the Northern Derby. Cheers!
Jofra Archer is the Man of the Match for his superb bowling display. He took three wickets in his last over and made sure that Mumbai don't get past the 170 mark. A Man of the Match Award on debut, what a perfect start to his Indian T20 League campaign.
Things tilted massively when Mumbai breached through the 72-run stand. Hardik Pandya removed Stokes and then that led to a collapse. From 110/3, all of a sudden Rajasthan slipped to 125/6 through sensational bowling from Bumrah and Rahman. 38 were needed required off 14 deliveries and just when everyone thought this game was over, a certain Gowtham stood up and played an innings to remember to take his side over the line. Mumbai, well they certainly need to buck up as this is the fourth time in the season that they have lost from a position that they should have won.
What a game we have had! Taking nothing away from Rajasthan as they have pulled off a heist from the jaws of defeat. The chase didn't start well for them as they lost both their openers cheaply but Ben Stokes and Sanju Samson joined forces to not only bring it back on track but were motoring along quite well with both scoring their respective fifties.
Another nail-biter where Mumbai finish on the losing side! They are making this a habit, a one they would not want to.

Hardik Pandya To Krishnappa Gowtham
SIX! He connects and connects one and it's off the meat. Krishnappa GOAT-HAM has done it for his side. Incredible hitting, 33 off just 11 balls and boy, he has struck at the strike rate of 300. Wow! Slower back of a length delivery, Krishnappa waits, waits and then flat-bats it over the deep mid-wicket fence for half a dozen. The entire Rajasthan team barge towards him and let out a huge roar. A THRILLING 3-WICKET VICTORY FOR THEM!

Hardik Pandya To Krishnappa Gowtham
Fuller delivery outside off, driven towards cover. Doesn't run. He wants to take it on himself.
A conference going on between Krunal, Rohit and Hardik. Pressure has been mounted back on Mumbai.

Hardik Pandya To Krishnappa Gowtham
FOUR! That will do! How smart is that act under pressure? Gowtham sees that the third man is up so what he does is, waits back, crouches a touch and with an angled blade he ramps it over the man there. A boundary results.
Jaydev Unadkat is the new man in but importantly for Rajasthan, it's Gowtham on strike.

Hardik Pandya To Jofra Archer OUT!
OUT! A full swing of the bat, top edge and it's taken! Hardik Pandya does it all by himself. He digs in a short ball, it keeps climbing on Archer who has no option but to go after it. It takes the top edge and Pandya himself runs to his right and takes it.
10 needed from 6 balls. Mumbai Indians have made it a habit or what to take games down to the wire? Hardik Pandya is asked to do the job.

Jasprit Bumrah To Krishnappa Gowtham
Slower bouncer outside off. Gowtham is early in his pull and misses it completely. Where was all his Jasprit?

Jasprit Bumrah To Krishnappa Gowtham
Very good running! Low full toss on the pads of Gowtham. He doesn't connect with his flick and the ball goes towards square leg. The Mumbai fielders are not quite alert and Rajasthan pick up two runs.

Jasprit Bumrah To Jofra Archer
No ball! Get me some popcorn somebody! Bumrah like he does often oversteps again. Lands this around off, Archer lofts it to long on for a run. Free Hit incoming!
Free Hit coming up!

Mustafizur Rahman To Krishnappa Gowtham
FOUR! Edged and away. Rajasthan all of a sudden have come back in this, 15 from the over. Very full, angled away outside off, Krishnappa goes hard at it. Gets a thick edge which evades Kishan's dive and races away to the fence. 28 needed off 12 balls.

Mustafizur Rahman To Krishnappa Gowtham
SIX! That's gone the distance. Gowtham has packed a punch, says Ian Bishop on air. Holds back to a slower back of a length delivery and clubs it over deep mid-wicket for a biggie all the way.

Mustafizur Rahman To Krishnappa Gowtham
Clears his front leg and looks to go big over cover. Slices it but it lands safe, they take two.

Mustafizur Rahman To Jofra Archer
Nope, he can't! He's been caught off a Free Hit! Slower delivery on middle, Jofra slogs across the line but mistimes it high in the air towards long on where Pollard takes it and returns a quick throw to the keeper.

Mustafizur Rahman To Jofra Archer
Beamer! And rightly called as a no ball. Archer is surprised by it as he can't do anything about that. A Free Hit coming up next. Can Archer make the most of it?

Mustafizur Rahman To Krishnappa Gowtham
Backs away to a slower one and flat-bats it down to long on for a single.
Krishnappa Gowtham is the new man in.

Mustafizur Rahman To Heinrich Klaasen OUT!
OUT! Golden duck for Klaasen, he's the 4th man tonight to be in that unwanted list. All of a sudden the wheels have come off for Rajasthan. Mumbai are back in it. Rahman with a clever delivery, it's the cutter angling away at good pace. Klaasen without any feet movement looks to run it down but instead edges one behind. Kishan behind dives forward and takes it as the ball was dipping in front.
Mustafizur Rahman to bowl out now.

Jasprit Bumrah To Jofra Archer
Yorker again! Fired at 147kmp. Archer gets his bat down in time and ends a very good over from Bumrah. Death bowling at its best. Just one from it and more importantly two huge wickets.
