1st Innings.
MI won the toss and elected to bat first. They had a new opening pair in form of Finch and Parthiv and they got a nice start. But as Finch started looking in touch n good he pulled up his left leg and is said to have a hamstring. It is a bad news for the team. He was just looking in touch and got injured. Rohit again went for a duck and then Unmukt also got out. It was Anderson and Pollard to slowly built a partnership and then took on the bowlers.
They were just superb. They hit huge sixes and took a toll on the bowlers. Pollard hit a superb knock of 70(34) balls with 7 boundaries and 5 sixes to his name. He was well complimented by Corey Anderson who played a sensible and good knock of 50(38) with 5 boundaries and 3 sixes to his name. They got the team total to a good and respectable 164 runs.
Rajasthan Royals did not start well with their bowlers but then bounced back and got the MI in a very bad position. They did well to stop the runs in the middle. But in the death overs they were just taken all over the ground by Pollard and Anderson.
The pick of their bowlers was Stuart Binny with the bowling figures of 2-0-8-1.
