Mumbai, Apr 30 (PTI) An unbeaten 62-run partnership between middle-order batters Tilak Varma (29 not out) and Tim David (45 not out), coupled with a half-century by Suryakumar Yadav (55), helped Mumbai Indians defeat Rajasthan Royals by six wickets in an Indian Premier League match here on Sunday.
Mumbai Indians chased down the target of 213 with three balls to spare, reaching 214 for 4 in 19.3 overs.
Young Royals opener Yashasvi Jaiswal’s fine century and a 72-run partnership with skipper Jos Buttler went in vain as the team suffered a defeat despite putting a mammoth score on the board.
Jaiswal’s 124, studded with 16 boundaries and eight maximums, came off just 62 deliveries at a strike rate of 200.
