In a thrilling encounter at the iconic Wankhede Stadium, Rajasthan Royals showcased their dominance with a comprehensive 6-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians, marking their third consecutive win in the tournament. The credit goes to a stellar performance by key players including Trent Boult, Nandre Burger, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Riyan Parag, who shone brightly under the Mumbai lights.
Mumbai Indians, batting first after losing the toss, struggled to find their rhythm and managed only 125/9. Boult's early strikes, coupled with Burger's crucial wicket of Ishan Kishan, left MI reeling at 20/4. Although skipper Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma initiated a recovery, Chahal's crucial dismissals tilted the game in RR's favor as MI collapsed from 76/4 to 114/9. The partnership between Pandya and Varma was a lone positive amidst MI's batting woes.

RR's bowling unit, led by Boult, Burger, and Chahal, showcased exceptional skill and determination, keeping their unbeaten streak intact this season.
Chasing a modest target of 126, RR's faced early hiccups but remained in control throughout their innings. Contributions from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, and skipper Sanju Samson, who combined for 7 boundaries, ensured a smooth chase. Parag, continuing his fine form from the previous match, displayed a perfect blend of aggression and patience, steering RR towards victory alongside Ashwin.
