http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals beat Mumbai Indians by 10 wickets – Indian Premier League update
Shane Warne ended his career in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with a win against the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians. Even though Rajasthan have already been eliminated from the next round, the 10 wicket win was a good way to send off the captain.
Mumbai did not post a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326 and Rahul Dravid dispatched the Mumbai attack to all corners of the ground. Royals got to the target
with 29 balls and all ten wickets to spare.
Mumbai won the toss and elected to bat first. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sachin-Ramesh-Tendulkar-c87800 and TL Suman opened the batting for the home side. Royals’ bowling was very disciplined and did not let Mumbai get away with a quick start. Suman was dismissed for just five runs by Shane Watson
and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/P-Rohit-Sharma-c80557, one of the most talented Indian batsmen, then joined Sachin and the two put together
a decent stand in the middle overs. The two added 48 runs for the third wicket before Sachin was dismissed for 31.
Sharma found support in the shape of Kieran Pollard and later from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gordon-James-Muchall-c60376 deserved half century. Shane Warne got his last IPL wicket as he dismissed Sharma in the final over.
Mumbai ended at 133 in their 20 overs.
The target was never going to be too much of a challenge for Rajasthan, considering the depth of their batting. But they did not need that depth as Aussie all rounder http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shane-Robert-Watson-c89688 tore into the Mumbai attack. The big right hander was in menacing form and
did not let the Mumbai attack settle down at any stage. Even the lethal http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 was at first playing second fiddle to Watson but soon got into his own and played some delightful strokes.
Watson was unbeaten on 89 from 47 balls with 9 fours and 6 sixes, while Dravid scored 43 from 32 balls with 6 fours. Royals won the game by 10 wickets to end a disappointing season on a high and bid farewell to their captain from the previous four seasons,
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Peter-Willey-c81951 pack their bags now, while Mumbai will get ready for the next round.
