Trent Boult is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his stunning new-ball spell, paving the way for a comfortable Rajasthan win. Says that he is happy to fill his role and take wickets with the new ball. Shares that after winning the toss, they executed what they had discussed earlier, picking wickets with the new ball and putting pressure on them.

Feels that Nandre Burger is a great bowler, and they are grateful to have found him. Adds that he wears a lot of heart and bowls with great confidence, just like South African bowlers do.

Sanju Samson, the skipper of Rajasthan says that the toss was the game-changer and was really crucial as the wicket was sticky to start off and with the experience of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger they knew it would work well for them. Mentions that the experience of Trent Boult bowling up front speaks volumes and he wasn't expecting for 4 wickets right at the top. Adds that they have big individuals in the team and the players understand the situation and execute as a team. Appreciates Yuzvendra Chahal who has been doing pretty well for the past two to three years and hopes for him to continue.

Time for the presentation ceremony...

The leading run-getter of the competition, Riyan Parag is in for a chat. He says that he does not do anything special and likes to keep it simple instead of doing too much. Mentions that earlier, when he wasn't getting runs, he would think too much and try different stuff but this year, he is keeping it simple. Shares that this was the exact same situation when he goes out to bat in the domestic circuit. Adds that it was a calculative approach. Tells that he practised these kinds of balls and these scenarios a lot and he is happy to get the results.

Hardik Pandya, the skipper of Mumbai, says they didn't start the way they wanted to and this is a tough loss. Adds that they were in a decent position in the middle to get to that 150-160 run mark but his wicket cost them and he could have done better. Mentions that this is a cruel game for the bowlers and this wicket was not as expected but doesn't matter much. States that results sometimes come good and sometimes don't, and as a group, they will need to show some more discipline and courage to change things around.

Earlier in the game, after being inserted into bat, Mumbai were off to a far-from-ideal start, losing four wickets inside the first four overs, three of them being golden ducks. With the score at 20-4, Hardik Pandya joined hands with Tilak Varma to resurrect the innings. Pandya then began to counterattack to take his side out of choppy waters. The stay of the Mumbai skipper was short-lived, and his departure put Mumbai back to square one. Tilak Varma could not bail his side out of trouble either. There was no partnership of substance, and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Tim David batted with the intention of taking the inning deep but perished before he could change gears. As a result, Mumbai could only muster 125, the lowest total so far in this edition of the Indian T20 League. For Rajasthan, Trent Boult set the tone up front with three wickets in his first two overs. Yuzvendra Chahal took three in the middle phase to pile the misery on Mumbai.

Third defeat in a row and the homecoming for Hardik Pandya and Co. was far from what they had envisaged. Mumbai have tasted a heavy defeat in their 250th Indian T20 League game and need to pick themselves up quickly. 125 runs was never going to be enough against a side with the batting depth as Rajasthan. Mumbai needed wickets in the Powerplay to set the cat amongst the pigeons early and put Rajasthan under pressure. After a forgettable debut outing, Kwena Maphaka struck early for Mumbai before Akash Madhwal dealt twin blows. Despite those three strikes, Mumbai were unable to keep the boundaries in check. They needed to chip away at the wickets to stand any chance. It did not happen and even though, Madhwal managed to get rid of Ravichandran Ashwin on his return to the attack, the game was pretty much done by then.

RAJASTHAN MAKE IT THREE IN THREE! An emphatic victory for the boys in pink, and this win has come away from home, which should taste even sweeter. The bowlers set it up for them and Riyan Parag continued his rich vein of form to take them home with ease. With only 126 runs to get, it was a matter of when rather than if for Rajasthan. They lost Yashavsi Jaiswal early but Sanju Samson got a couple of boundaries away as did Jos Buttler to ease off the pressure. Both fell in the space of two overs but given how small the target was, Rajasthan batters had the luxury of taking their time. Promoted to number 5 again, Ravichandran Ashwin got together with Riyan Parag and ticked along nicely. Ashwin got out on 16 but Riyan held his composure and saw his side home with yet another fifty along side the debutant, Shubham Dubey.

FOUR! Finishes it off with a boundary. Rajasthan beat Mumbai by 6 wickets and register their third consecutive win to advance to the top of the table.

Commentary

Welcome back for the second essay. Hardik Pandya with a pep talk in the Mumbai huddle before they take their places on the field. Out walk the two openers of Rajasthan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. Kwena Maphaka will start with the new ball for Mumbai. Off we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Defending this modest total will demand an exceptional bowling effort from Mumbai, especially considering the dew factor that may come into play. Rajasthan, boasting a formidable batting lineup, will be confident in chasing down the target, yet the unpredictability of cricket leaves the outcome uncertain. Can Mumbai pull out an exceptional effort and restrict Rajasthan from making it three in a row? We shall soon find out as the chase comes to you in a bit.

Yuzvendra Chahal is in for a chat. He starts by saying he was trying to vary the pace and was focused on not delivering easy balls. Mentions that they did not want Hardik Pandya to settle down because they know the damage he can do later in the innings. Adds that he saw a couple of balls turn so he took a chance against Pandya and it came off. Shares that he always backs his skills. States that there was dew after 15 overs and feels that they need good first six overs in the chase.

Mumbai, under immense pressure coming into this crucial encounter, were expected to put on a strong display in their first home game of the season. However, their aspirations took a nosedive right from the outset as the dependable Rohit Sharma was dismissed in the very first over, sending shockwaves through the home crowd. His early departure was quickly followed by Naman Dhir falling victim on the very next ball, leaving Mumbai reeling at the start. To compound their woes, Dewald Brevis, brought in as an impact substitute replacing Naman Dhir, failed to make an impression as he departed for a golden duck soon after his arrival at the crease. Despite a solid start by Ishan Kishan, who appeared to be finding his rhythm, Mumbai's woes continued as he too perished after getting set. However, amidst the gloom, skipper Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma launched a spirited counterattack, stitching together a vital partnership of 56 runs. Their aggressive strokeplay injected some much-needed momentum into Mumbai's innings, offering a glimmer of hope for a potential revival. Unfortunately, Mumbai faltered once more, losing wickets at crucial intervals and failing to sustain their momentum, ultimately being restricted to just 125 runs.

Sanju Samson and his Rajasthan side got off to a dream start after winning the toss and opting to bowl first. Trent Boult, the maestro of opening the bowling attack, was on fire from the get-go, unleashing a barrage of deliveries with pinpoint accuracy. His mastery was on full display as he struck twice in the very first over, sending shockwaves through the Mumbai camp. Nandre Burger, with his consistent line and length, provided solid support to Boult's onslaught. The duo continued to wreak havoc in the subsequent overs, with Boult claiming another scalp in his second over, followed by Burger's clinical execution that earned him a wicket as well. Rajasthan's bowlers asserted their dominance early on, leaving Mumbai in a precarious position at 20 for 4 after just four overs. However, Mumbai's hopes were briefly reignited with a counterattacking partnership until Yuzvendra Chahal broke the deadlock, dismissing the Mumbai skipper. From thereon, the bowlers kept chipping away at Mumbai's batting lineup at regular intervals, preventing any substantial partnerships from forming. Their disciplined bowling performance restricted Mumbai to a below-par total of 125 runs, giving Rajasthan a firm grip on the match going into the mid-innings break.

A stellar display of bowling prowess coupled with exceptional fielding acumen has seen Rajasthan successfully restrict the formidable Mumbai batting lineup to a mere 125 runs which is the lowest team total in this season of Indian T20 League so far.

A better throw would have had Akash Madhwal in trouble! A couple of runs to end Mumbai's innings and they finish with 125 on the board. Avesh pitches it up to the batter, outside off, Akash Madhwal sits deep in his crease and thumps it to the left of mid off. Jos Buttler dives to his left to make the stop. The ball rolls away to his left off his hands, allowing the batters to come back for the second. The throw from Buttler lands halfway down the track and Madhwal collides with Samson but makes his ground eventually at the batting end.

Fuller in length, around off, Jasprit Bumrah goes deep in his crease and hits it down to long on for one.

19.11lb

Leg bye! Back of a length, on middle and leg, Akash Madhwal hops back to keep it out on the leg side but fails to get bat to ball. The ball comes off his body and rolls in front of point. They cross.

Burger stays around the wicket and directs a good bumper, at the body of the batter, Tim David backs away towards the leg side and shapes up for the pull. He fails to ride the bounce and takes his eyes off the ball a bit. Gets a top edge that goes flat and straight down the throat of deep backward square leg. Trent Boult in the deep is aware of where the rope is and times the jump well to complete the catch to his right.

Commentary

Welcome back for the second essay. Hardik Pandya with a pep talk in the Mumbai huddle before they take their places on the field. Out walk the two openers of Rajasthan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler. Kwena Maphaka will start with the new ball for Mumbai. Off we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Defending this modest total will demand an exceptional bowling effort from Mumbai, especially considering the dew factor that may come into play. Rajasthan, boasting a formidable batting lineup, will be confident in chasing down the target, yet the unpredictability of cricket leaves the outcome uncertain. Can Mumbai pull out an exceptional effort and restrict Rajasthan from making it three in a row? We shall soon find out as the chase comes to you in a bit.

Yuzvendra Chahal is in for a chat. He starts by saying he was trying to vary the pace and was focused on not delivering easy balls. Mentions that they did not want Hardik Pandya to settle down because they know the damage he can do later in the innings. Adds that he saw a couple of balls turn so he took a chance against Pandya and it came off. Shares that he always backs his skills. States that there was dew after 15 overs and feels that they need good first six overs in the chase.

Mumbai, under immense pressure coming into this crucial encounter, were expected to put on a strong display in their first home game of the season. However, their aspirations took a nosedive right from the outset as the dependable Rohit Sharma was dismissed in the very first over, sending shockwaves through the home crowd. His early departure was quickly followed by Naman Dhir falling victim on the very next ball, leaving Mumbai reeling at the start. To compound their woes, Dewald Brevis, brought in as an impact substitute replacing Naman Dhir, failed to make an impression as he departed for a golden duck soon after his arrival at the crease. Despite a solid start by Ishan Kishan, who appeared to be finding his rhythm, Mumbai's woes continued as he too perished after getting set. However, amidst the gloom, skipper Hardik Pandya and Tilak Verma launched a spirited counterattack, stitching together a vital partnership of 56 runs. Their aggressive strokeplay injected some much-needed momentum into Mumbai's innings, offering a glimmer of hope for a potential revival. Unfortunately, Mumbai faltered once more, losing wickets at crucial intervals and failing to sustain their momentum, ultimately being restricted to just 125 runs.

Sanju Samson and his Rajasthan side got off to a dream start after winning the toss and opting to bowl first. Trent Boult, the maestro of opening the bowling attack, was on fire from the get-go, unleashing a barrage of deliveries with pinpoint accuracy. His mastery was on full display as he struck twice in the very first over, sending shockwaves through the Mumbai camp. Nandre Burger, with his consistent line and length, provided solid support to Boult's onslaught. The duo continued to wreak havoc in the subsequent overs, with Boult claiming another scalp in his second over, followed by Burger's clinical execution that earned him a wicket as well. Rajasthan's bowlers asserted their dominance early on, leaving Mumbai in a precarious position at 20 for 4 after just four overs. However, Mumbai's hopes were briefly reignited with a counterattacking partnership until Yuzvendra Chahal broke the deadlock, dismissing the Mumbai skipper. From thereon, the bowlers kept chipping away at Mumbai's batting lineup at regular intervals, preventing any substantial partnerships from forming. Their disciplined bowling performance restricted Mumbai to a below-par total of 125 runs, giving Rajasthan a firm grip on the match going into the mid-innings break.

A stellar display of bowling prowess coupled with exceptional fielding acumen has seen Rajasthan successfully restrict the formidable Mumbai batting lineup to a mere 125 runs which is the lowest team total in this season of Indian T20 League so far.

Strategic break! Rajasthan continue to dominate the proceedings and they just have not allowed Mumbai to breathe freely.

As for Mumbai, they just have not got going in their first home game and are in danger of being bowled out inside the 20 overs. Tim David and Gerald Coetzee are more than capable of clearing the fence but they need to bat sensibly until the 17th over or so and then look for the big shots to take Mumbai to a respectable total.

A huge appeal for LBW and the umpire raises his finger. Naman Dhir sends it upstairs straightway and suggests he got some bat on it. Trent Boult lands this on a good length, around middle and gets the ball to nip back in sharp into the right-hander. Naman Dhir looks to flick it across but misses. The replays roll on and the UltraEdge shows no bat was involved. The Ball Tracking suggests that the pitch and impact were both in line but the wickets were clipping the top of the leg stump and remains to be as Umpire's call. Trent Boult gets two-in-two and Mumbai are rocked back early.

Naman Dhir walks in at number 3.

Time to set the ball rolling in Mumbai for the first time in this year's Indian T20 League. The two umpires step onto the field and they are joined by the two Mumbai openers. Sanju Samson leads his troops out to the centre as the Rajasthan players disperse from the huddle. It will be the explosive duo of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan to open the innings for Mumbai. Trent Boult will kickstart proceedings with the new ball for Rajasthan. He is starting with two slips in place. Here we go...

Hardik Pandya, the skipper of Mumbai, says they would have bowled first too but it's a good toss to lose. Adds that this franchise holds a lot of value and they are lucky to be a part of the 250th game. States that they always look ahead to the future and try to stick to the process and keep everybody in the good space and they are looking forward to playing the brand of cricket that they enjoy and get a win along the way.

The captain of Rajasthan, Sanju Samson says that they are going to bowl first. Mentions that the wicket looks fresh and they want to take advantage of this being the first game of the season. Feels that there might be swing here and they have got the swing bowlers to exploit the conditions. States that it is just the start and they want to carry forward the winning momentum. Informs that Sandeep Sharma is not fully fit and he misses out and Nandre Burger comes into the playing XI.

Impact players nominated by Rajasthan - Rovman Powell, Tanush Kotian, Kuldeep Sen, Shubham Dubey and Abid Mushtaq.
