Rajasthan Royals  beats MI by 27 runs in Guwahati

A total of 150 in 11 overs was always going to be herculean task. Losing three early wickets only made it worse for MI. There was a glimmer of hope when Naman Dhir and Sherfane Rutherford were at the crease but the RR bowling stuck to its plans to nip that threat quickly. 

Sandeep to bowl the penultimate over. 

Shardul goes for an almightly slog down the ground, doesn’t make contact. A wide down leg to follow. 

Slower ball, wide outside off, called a wide onfield but Sandeep wants a review. And rightly so, was just inside the guideline. 

Shardul connects this time, not well enough to clear the fence. Jaiswal manages to pull it back in after it bounces just ahead of the rope. Two runs taken. 

A short ball, called wide. WICKET!! A swipe across the line only brings a top edge with Jurel accepts with ease. 

Boult in at 10. Swings the first ball to long on for one. Four! Slightly short outside off, Chahar slices it over backward point and picks up four. Just 9 from the over. Sandeep ends with 2/26 in 3 overs. Brilliant!
