Hello, Good Afternoon to all and hope everyone is doing great. It was a special day for MI as it's their captain Rohit Sharma's birthday, so it's a kind of positive thing for them, and it goes to their favor too as they beat inform RR by 5 wickets. It was low scoring match but this time MI able to chase down and time to discuss it in details so let start it.

MI had won the toss and chose to bowl first it was good decision because yesterday there were due came, so it not helps bowlers in second innings. RR did start stable as MI missed couple of catches but somehow able to takes wicket in power play of Paddikal. Samson and Buttler looks good, but Samson out early too, and it looks like RR in trouble as all depend on Buttler.

Buttler and Mitchell did partnership, but it was slow as Mitchell played a slow inning, and then he out. From one side Buttler kept scoring runs where other side struggling for runs. Thanks to Buttler 67 runs inning and little cameo of 21 runs of Ashwin took RR to respectable total of 158 runs. Bumrah once again went wicketless and Meredith took 2 wickets in death overs.

In return, MI did a good start, but most of the runs came from Kishan as he was to look in good touch. Rohit's fall early as out for just runs and then Kishan too in 5th over as MI were 41\2, and it looks like MI will not able to chase as what they faced before but this time Surya came one down which is good batting order for MI and started to build partnership with Tilak Verma.

Surya Kumar Yadav started to score freely and once again this two inform player made useful and important partnership of 81 runs as soon SKY reached his half century and out. In next over Tilak Verma also out, and it looks like MI again in trouble, but then Tim David played nice 20 runs inning which took them comfortably to win the match. RR were short of 15 runs as the match already went in the last over.

MI able to win finally as they faced back to back 8 match loss so sure it will give them some confidence and relief. Both team has issue of selection player as they cost them in match. Surya Kumar Yadav got man of the match awards for his match winning knock. That's it from me for today & stay tuned for next post.
