After being defeated by Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Indians have once again been bested by the Pink Army as they won by five wickets on April 20. Despite a half-century from opener, Quinton de Kock, Mumbai bowlers were unable to defend a 162-run target.
The Rajasthan team came to the field after a change in the captaincy. Former skipper Ajinkya Rahane was sacked by the management as a captain and Steve Smith was appointed as the new captain.
Chasing 162, Rajasthan openers Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson got off a great start. However, it was the partnership between captain Smith and Riyan Parag that won the match for the Royals. While Steve Smith scored 59 runs in 48 deliveries, Parag made a quick 43 off 29 deliveries.
The top-scorer for Mumbai was de Kock who scored 65 runs off 47 deliveries. Royals' bowlers Stuart Binny, Jofra Archer, Jaydev Unadkat scalped one wicket each whereas Shreyas Gopal bagged two wickets.
Mumbai bowler Rahul Chahar was the only impressive player as he bagged three wickets. With this win, Rajasthan have kept their playoffs dream alive.
