Tonight, the 47th match of IPL 2018 was hosted by the Mumbai Indians against Rajasthan Royals at Wakhede Stadium of Mumbai. Before the match started, Mumbai Indians were invited to bat first as the toss was won by RR and they chose to bowl first.

Mumbai Indians got a very steady start to the first innings with the openers, Suryakumar Yadav and Evin Lewis playing a partnership of 98 runs. Suryakumar scored 38 runs, while Evin Lewis scored 60 runs. The brilliant partnership was broken when, Suryakumar Yadav, was dismissed on 38 (31) by the ace bowler of RR, Jofra Archer.

The skipper of the team was sent back to pavilion after the first ball itself, as Jofra Archer continued to deliver stunning balls. The wicket of Ishan Kishan, the young keeper-batsmen of the team, fell very soon and so was Krunal Pandya’s wicket.
Hardik Pandya scored a quick 36 off 21 balls he played. Ben Cuttling at 10 runs, stretched the scores to 168 runs.

It’s a given that one between Duminy and Cutting will go waste with the bat…been wondering why one of them can’t be compromised for a bowler—Milne or Fizz? #MIvRR #IPL
