Mumbai Indians marched to a commanding 100-run victory against Rajasthan Royals in Match 50 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Thursday, May 1. This victory made them rise to the the top of the points table while eliminating RR from making it to the playoffs.
After a quiet start in the first three overs, MI accelerated to 58/0 at the end of the powerplay. Ryan Rickelton (61 off 38) and Rohit Sharma (53 off 36) put together a 116-run stand before getting dismissed in successive overs. It was Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya who launched deadly assault from that point. They hammered identical 48* off 23 knocks to power MI to 217/2. Riyan Parag (1/12 in 2) was the only bowler for RR who was economical.
In response, RR’s run-chase was a contrast to that of their opposition. Vaibhav Suryavanshi fell for a silver duck. Despite getting to 62 by the end of the powerplay, RR had already lost five wickets. Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik, and Karn Sharma all struck in their first overs. Karn, who was subbed in as the Impact Player, claimed a three-wicket haul to end up with figures of 3/23 in four overs. Jofra Archer was his side's top-scorer with 30 (27). RR were bundled out for 117 in 16.1 overs. Bumrah conceded only 15 runs in his four-over spell in addition to picking up a couple of wickets.
