Match 51 Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians

What a comeback in the tournament has Mumbai Indians been able to make. Maybe, what kind of pitch was made available in the Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians clash here at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Everything is in the hands of thr bowlers. Rightly so, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma opts to bowl first. What a right choice as they are able to take back to back wickets. With Nathan Coulter-Nile and James Neesham, two foreign bowlers with the fantastic effort of Jasprit Bumrah able to take a total of 9 whopping wickets! That allows the Rajasthan Royals just a score of 90/9 (20) Evin Lewis, Dawid Miller and Yashasvi Jaiswal cannot get through a total of three figures. 

The second innings saw a stronger batting order. Ishan Kishan takes complete advantage of the situation. He was trolled and mocked for being out of form. Fortunately, Rohit Sharma backed the player well. 

Mustafizur Rahman, Chetan Sakariya and Shreyas Gopal who were supposed to do the job with the ball didn't strike well either. The entire team performance suffered, which in turn allowed the Mumbai Indians to win this game by 8 wickets with 70 balls left!
