Royal Challengers Bangalore's third win of IPL 2022, while Mumbai Indians are yet to win a match this season.
A sublime 66 off 47 balls by wicketkeeper-batter Anuj Rawat combined with a superb show by bowlers set up Royal Challengers Bangalore's third win of IPL 2022 with a seven-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians at MCA Stadium in Pune on Saturday.
After Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga and Akash Deep ensured that Mumbai could manage only 151/6 after being asked to bat, Rawat played a fine innings for his maiden IPL fifty with Virat Kohli making 48 off 36 balls as Bangalore registered a comfortable win with seven balls to spare in their chase of 152.
It also meant that Mumbai's wait for a win continued as they crashed to their fourth loss on the bounce in this tournament despite a sparking, unbeaten 68 by Suryakumar Yadav rescuing them from 79/6 to a respectable 151/6, which wasn't sufficient to end a winless streak.
The Rajasthan Royals opener remains at the top of the top run-scorers list. After he scored brilliant century off 68 balls against Mumbai Indians last weekend, Buttler followed it up with a superb 70 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last match on Tuesday (April 5) but it wasn’t enough to secure a win for the Royals.
