arjwiz (Mumbai Indians) vs @rishabh96 (Rajasthan Royals) IPL Match!
Morrisson: Jaipurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
----------
Ouch, Malinga forgets that this is patch 2, and needs time adjusting to the bowling meter. Two No balls!
----------
9 off Malinga;s opening over.
----------
The two no balls cost 8 runs!
----------
16 off 2 overs. Zaheer was the bowler.
----------
Expensive over by Malinga, 13 off it. RR 29/0 in 3.
----------
Watson gets a massive edge to Zaheer and is caught behind. He was looking dangerous at 23 (16). Hodge comes in to bat with RR at 33/1
----------
41/1 in 4 overs
----------
Harbhajan Singh replaces Malinga.
----------
7 off the over. RR 48/1 after 5.
----------
Ojha comes on and gas a very close appeal turned down. Will they review? No, they decide not to.
----------
10 off the over. RR 58/1 after the 6 powerplay overs.
----------
Great over off Harbhajan, 15 off it. 73/1 in 7.
----------
5 off Ojha's over.
----------
50 partnership!
----------
Disgusting over from Anderson. 17 off it. RR are having a field day here. No DLF Maximums yet, though.
----------
And finally Ojha picks up the wicket of Hodge, LBW for 35(22). Unmukt Chand out to bat. RR 95/2 in 9.1
----------
That's still 14 runs off the over. 109/2 in 10 overs.
----------
And what a wonderful over by Pollard, just 2 off it!
----------
And Rohit Sharma brings on Mike Hussey to bowl!
0,0,1,2,4,1.
Given the way the others are bowling, 8 runs is not too shabby!
----------
Oh edged from Pollard but there's no slip! 2 runs.
----------
7 off Pollard's over. RR 126/2 in 13 overs.
Rahane hits his 50* in 35 balls.
----------
Rahane hits the first six of the innings. Poor over by Hussey. 14 off it. 140/2 in 14 overs.
----------
9 off that Pollard over. RR 149/2 in 15.
----------
Malinga back into the attack, replacing Hussey. Great over, missed the stumps thrice. Three off it. 152/2 in 16.
----------
Pollard reviews an LBW appeal. MI don't look very confident. And rightly so. Poor review. Hitting outside and also just missing.
----------
RR going for some shots now.
----------
13 off that Pollard over. RR 165/2 in 17 overs.
----------
Oh edged to the vacant slip areas again!
----------
Rahane caught at third man for a brilliant 72 (49)
----------
Binny comes out to bat with RR cruising along at 176/3 in 18 overs.
----------
Three dot balls by Zaheer, followed by a boundary. Cricket is a cruel game for the bowlers.
----------
Glorious six over covers by Binny!
----------
11 off that Malinga over. RR 187/3 in 19 overs. Can they reach 200?
----------
Deep mid wicket drops an absolute sitter! Zaheer is fuming!
----------
And Binny replies with a six off the next ball.
----------
Wide! Zaheer is fearing Binny now. 196 with 4 balls to go.
----------
2 runs to long on. 198 with 3 balls to go.
----------
And finally, caught at long off. Binny goes for a sharp 21(10).
----------
198/4 with 2 balls to go. Karun Nair comes out to bat, but he is not on strike since the batsmen crossed.
----------
That's a direct hit from the deep mid wicket boundary! They were coming back for the 200th run of the innings. What drama! Nair run out without facing a ball!
----------
Missed. Is it wide? NO! The umpire doesn't give it! RR stranded at 199/4 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indians facing a massive uphill battle, chasing their first ever 200 total.
----------
Oh my lord, the big man, Mr Cricket, Mike Hussey out LBW for 2(2)! Terrible start by Mumbai, how could Hussey miss that straight delivery? He'll be hitting himself.
----------
Oh my god, Rolling ball 6!!!
----------
Tambe bowling from the other end. MI 12/1 in 1 over.
----------
Make that Faulkner bowling from the other end.
----------
Great over for Mumbai, 16 off it. Three crisp boundaries to the covers from Rayudu. 28/1 in 2.
----------
Disappointing way to get out. Run out. Tare made 17(10).
----------
38/2 in 3
----------
Rohit Sharma LBW! He reviews, but it looks more hopeful than anything else. Hitting leg stump, he's gone!
----------
Pollard taking a page off RR's books and lofting one down to third man. MI 47/3 in 4 overs.
----------
Edged! But down to third man for three.
----------
14 off the over. MI 61/3 in 5 overs.
----------
And another run out, direct hit from long off. Rayudu out for a wonderful 29(11). He was looking unstoppable out there.
----------
Anderson clean bowled for 4(3)!! MI collapsing here with this huge total to chase.
----------
71/5 in 6 overs.
----------
Gautam bowled from a fast bowling yorker. 4(2).
----------
Looks like it's going to be an early dinner for the Mumbaikars. Bhajji out to bat.
----------
8 runs off the over, and the wicket of Gautam. MI 79/6 in 7 overs.
----------
9 off the over from Faulkner. Southee has completed his spell. V Malik comes in to bowl. MI 88/6 in 8 overs.
----------
Oh the keeper has dropped it!
----------
Free hit is hit up in the air. It's caught, but they scramble for two.
But Bhajji is bowled the next ball. Played the yorker late, and missed completely. Gone for 16. Zaheer is out to bat now.
----------
Great over, 6 runs off it from V Malik. Now Faulkner has completed his spell from the other end, and is replaced by Watson. MI 94/7 in 9.
----------
Good over for MI, 13 off it. 107/7 in 10.
----------
Great over by Malik, just 6 off it. 113/7 in 11.
----------
Pollard just isn't getting any of the strike. He came in at number 5, but numbers 6, 8, and 9 have all faced more balls than he has.
----------
123/7 in 12
Oh what a slower ball. Zaheer Khan bowled for a magnificent 28(15).
----------
It seems like the direct hits have shot up with patch 2! Back to pre-patch standards, it would seem.
----------
128/3 in 12.
----------
excuse me, 133/8 in 13.
----------
Ojha LBW for 5(3)
----------
Malinga out to the middle as the number 11 batsman now.
----------
But he doesn't last two balls. Bowled for 0(1).
MI all out for 136 in 13.4 overs. Pollard 27*(20).
Huge margin of victory for RR, although MI fans will think that the game was slightly closer than the scoreboard suggests.
