Rajasthan Royals produced a scintillating performance by beating Mumbai Indians in every department of the game and registered comprehensive 87-run victory in the IPL 6 match at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur.
Rajasthan bowlers fired in unison to help Royals restrict Mumbai to modest 92 and continue their winning run at home. James Faulkner was the pick of the bowler with three wickets while Ajit Chandila and Stuart Binny took two wickets apiece.
Earlier in the game Ajinkya Rahane led from the front as he cracked an unbeaten 68 to help Rajasthan Royals set 180-run target for Mumbai Indians. Brad Hodge also played a fine cameo as he remained unbeaten on 27 of 15 with the help of two sixes. The 53-run unbeaten stand by Rahane and Hodge for the fourth wicket powered Royals to 179/3 in 20 overs.
Chasing 180-run target, Mumbai Indians never recovered from their poor start as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Only Dinesh Karthik tried to wage a lone battle, making 30 off 32 balls but it was not good enough to take Mumbai past Royals target.
Royals have made two changes, bringing in Ankeet Chavan in place of S Sreesanth and Dishant Yagnik replaced Sanju Samson. Mumbai, on the other hand, fielded an unchanged squad from their last game.
