... THE CHASE...

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.

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.

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.

19.6 overs (1 Run) A full ball, well outside off. Hetmyer only manages to drag it towards long off for a single. Just 3 runs and a wicket off the last over. Rajasthan finish with 158/6.

Ishan Kishan dives to his right and collects the ball cleanly. The Ball Tracker shows that the ball was pitched outside leg. The on-field decision stands.

It is full and Buttler reaches out to whack it over long off. It takes the bottom half of the bat and lobs up in the air towards long off. Suryakumar Yadav there takes a simple catch. Much-needed wicket this for Mumbai. End of a brilliant knock from Buttler.
