Commentary :
0.0 : Welcome, folks. After a thrilling finish in the last match, we are here with the second match of the evening. It's Rajasthan taking on Mumbai at home and they will be looking to get back to winning ways after a couple of back-to-back defeats. The hosts started the season on a bright note but seems to losing steam now. Mumbai, on the other hand, lost their first three matches but then outclassed Bangalore in the last game. It would have given them the much-needed boost and they will now try to ex
Toss - Rohit Sharma calls it correctly at the toss and MUMBAI WILL BAT!
Rohit Sharma says that the pitch looks good and putting runs on the board is always nice. Feels it's a big ground and defending will be easy. Goes on to add that Kieron Pollard has been a crucial part of their team and they are backing him in spite of his poor form. Informs that they are going unchanged.
Ajinkya Rahane wanted to bowl first anyway and feels that the pitch will get better as the game progresses. Adds that they want to keep the defeats behind and start afresh. Informs about a couple of changes for Rajasthan - Stuart Binny and Ben Laughlin make way for Dhawal Kulkarni and Jofra Archer (on debut).
We are all set for the action to begin. The Rajasthan players and the umpires make their way out to the middle. Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis will open the innings for Mumbai. Dhawal Kulkarni will open the bowling for the home side. He has a slip in place. He generally relies on seam movement. Will he get some? Let us find out as he runs in to bowl...
0.1 : D Kulkarni to S Yadav, A touch of outswing there. Kulkarni starts right on the money as he lands it on a length around middle. It shapes away a touch and Yadav defends it off the back foot.
0.2 : D Kulkarni to S Yadav, Once again he hits the length on off, Yadav keeps it out off the back foot. A watchful start by the Mumbai opener.
0.3 : D Kulkarni to S Yadav, Mumbai are underway! Angles this one into the batsman. Does not get it to shape away. Yadav flicks it towards square leg for a run.
0.4 : D Kulkarni to E Lewis, OUT! DRAGGED ON! Dhawal Kulkarni strikes! An excellent start for him. Not to forget he was dropped for the last game and he has made a comeback immediately on return. This one is full and outside off. It shapes back in a touch. Lewis needs no sighters as he goes for a booming drive. The ball though takes the inside edge and ricochets onto the stumps. An early wicket and it is the big one of Lewis. He bags a golden duck.
Ishan Kishan is the next batsman. He copped a blow just below his eyes in the last game. He has recovered and has come out to bat at no. 3.
0.5 : D Kulkarni to I Kishan, That ball has taken the inside edge of the batsman and thudded into his pads.
0.6 : D Kulkarni to I Kishan, Length again on off, Kishan rocks back and defends it. So a very good over by Kulkarni comes to an end. A wicket and a run from it. A captain could not have asked for a better first over.
Krishnappa Gowtham to bowl from the other end.
1.1 : K Gowtham to S Yadav, Fires it on middle, Yadav rocks back and whips it to square leg.
1.2 : K Gowtham to S Yadav, On the shorter side, Yadav pushes it to mid off for a run.

1.4 : K Gowtham to S Yadav, Tosses this one up on off, Yadav once again is watchful as he drives it to mid off for another dot.
1.5 : K Gowtham to S Yadav, This time Yadav looses his patience. He sees a floated ball outside off, Yadav tries to over covers but misses. Luckily for him it did not take the edge. Buttler behind the stumps fails to collect but no runs conceded.
1.6 : K Gowtham to S Yadav, Once again darts it on middle, Yadav goes back and pushes it to mid on for a single. He will keep strike. Another tight over, a good start by Rajasthan.
2.1 : D Kulkarni to S Yadav, SIX! Top shot! Stand and deliver! This was slightly full and on middle by Dhawal. Yadav stands tall and lofts it over the long on fence for the first biggie off the game. A much-needed one for Mumbai, this should break the shackles now.
2.2 : D Kulkarni to S Yadav, Good batting as he follow it up with a single. This is tucked away through mid-wicket for a run.
2.3 : D Kulkarni to I Kishan, Length ball on off, Ishan who goes BOOM BOOM at the start has been quite watchful as he lunges and defends it.
2.4 : D Kulkarni to I Kishan, Just short! A good short ball on middle, it was a surprise delivery and Ishan was surprised. He was late on the pull shot and the ball lands just in front of the man at mid-wicket. Tripathi there dives forward in an attempt to catch it but stops it on the bounce.
2.5 : D Kulkarni to I Kishan, Change of pace now! Using all his variation here Dhawal. Slower ball on off, Kishan strokes it to covers.

3.4 : J Archer to S Yadav, OUCH! That surely must have hurt! A slower ball on the shorter side. Suryakumar goes for the ball but the ball stays a touch low. He misses and gets hit near the box. He is now down on his haunches but is fine to continue. The opener just needed a breather there.

15.2 : J Unadkat to S Yadav, OUT! That has gone high up in the air... Buttler calls for it, settles himself under it and takes it. The slower ball does the trick for Unadkat. It is on middle, Yadav does not pick it and swings way too early. He only gets a top edge which goes high up in the air towards square leg. The ball has gone so high that it came down with snow on it. Buttler goes towards it and takes a very good catch. He made that skier look really easy. So a good passage of play here for

17.5 : J Unadkat to K Pandya, Slower ball on middle, Pandya tries to work it on the leg side. He closes the face of his bat a little too early. The ball takes a soft leading edge and goes towards covers for a run.
17.6 : J Unadkat to K Pollard, A dot to finish! But a good over for Mumbai, 13 from it. This is wide outside off. Pollard tries to reach out for it but misses.
18.1 : J Archer to K Pandya, OUT! Maiden Indian T20 League wicket for Jofra Archer. It is the slower one which gets him his first. It is pitched on middle. Pandya flicks it towards deep mid-wicket. He has not connected that well and it goes into the hands off Klaasen who takes an easy catch.
0.0 : Hardik Pandya strides out to the middle.
18.2 : J Archer to K Pollard, DROPPED! A tough, tough chance though. This is full and on middle, Pollard hits it hard towards the bowler. He tries to catch it but the ball hits his hands and goes towards the off side. They steal a run. This had to stick.
18.3 : J Archer to H Pandya, FOUR! BLUDGEONED! What a shot to play on his first ball. This is full and right in slot. Pandya moves his left leg away and smashes it straight back past the bowler. The umpire had to duck for safety and it races away into the fence.

18.5 : J Archer to M McClenaghan, OUT! BOWLED 'EM! Two-in-two and three in the over. Another brilliant yorker from Archer. This bloke is making a name for himself. What a classy piece of death bowling. McClenaghan fails to keep it out as he is late to bring his bat down in time and it hits the timber. Third batsman in this innings to bag a golden duck and Archer will be on a hat-trick.
18.6 : J Archer to M Markande, No hat-trick as Markande plays it out well. This one is on middle. Markande flicks it towards square leg. He wants a run but Pollard does the smart thing as he refuses. He wants to keep strike for the next over. Archer in the meantime, finishes his spell with three wickets and only five runs off the penultimate over. His figures reads, 4-0-22-3. Excellent outing for him on debut.
19.1 : Ben Stokes to K Pollard, Good delivery! Swinging back in, yorker length. Pollard could just dig it out.
19.2 : Ben Stokes to K Pollard, Mistimed but no harm done! Short of a length delivery on middle, Pollard looks to pull but mistimes it high in the air over mid-wicket. It lands safely in the deep and they take two.
19.3 : Ben Stokes to K Pollard, How close was that? Fuller and angling back in, Pollard swings across the line but is undone by the lack of pace on it. Goes very past the off stump.
19.4 : Ben Stokes to K Pollard, What was that? Probably would have slipped out of his hands. Tries to bowl the slower back of the hand but ends up dolling out a full toss. It's takes Pollard aback who just leaves it alone.
Ben Stokes to K Pollard, FOUR! Poor from Gowthan. Fuller delivery and on the pads, Kieron whips it along the ground towards long on. Krishnappa moves across to his right, slides to stop but fails to do so.
19.5 : Ben Stokes to K Pollard, Flicks a fuller ball towards square leg but doesn't run. Can Pollard finish with a biggie?
19.6 : Ben Stokes to K Pollard, Nope, he can't! Drags his flick off the inside edge down to fine leg and scampers across for a double. RAJASTHAN RESTRICT MUMBAI TO 167/7!
So, an excellent comeback by Rajasthan towards the end, means that they would be holding the advantage going into the break. Exceptional death bowling from them, just too good! After winning the toss and electing to field they got off to a brilliant start as Kulkarni got the early wicket of the dangerous Lewis. Kishan then joined forces with Yadav and the two stitched a 129-run stand. They started off slowly but then picked up pace in the middle. Both of them notched up half centuries and when t
Rajasthan then struck back by removing the two set batsmen early. The platform was laid for the batsmen who came in but they found run scoring very difficult. Shreyas Gopal who has been very impressive in the tournament so far was taken to the cleaners. Jofra Archer though was outstanding on his debut as he finished with figures of 4-0-22-3 and ensured Mumbai are well within the reach. He was well supported by the other pace bowlers. Now 168 is what Rajasthan need. The wicket is good and they wi
