Ipl 2018 letest updates

00:06 (IST)

That brings us to the end of our coverage of Match 44 of IPL 2022, with Mumbai Indians finally ending their winless run in IPL 2022 with a tense five-wicket win. Rajasthan Royals though, remain in the reckoning in the playoffs race despite the loss as they remain second on the points table behind leaders Gujarat Titans.

That's it from us at Firstpost Sports for the day. For now, this is Amit signing off, wishing you all a good night!

00:04 (IST)

Suryakumar Yadav is the Player of the Match for his 51

SKY: I think it was really important for me to stay on till the end. My job at No 3 was to take over from where Rohit left. Nevertheless, quite happy. It was a good one from the team’s point of view after losing so many. I love batting at all positions, but I love batting at No 3 as it allows me to pace my innings according to the situation. Spreads loads and loads of positivity, and in the practice sessions, we are enjoying each other’s company.

00:03 (IST)

Rohit Sharma: We try and field the best combination. Yes it has not worked for eight games, but one thing I can say is that we were not blown away by the opposition. We came close in a couple of games. Both of these guys are quite courageous. They want to do something special and they don’t want to go into hiding. It was a brave call when I got Shokeen to bowl to Buttler when he was well set. Yes he was hit for a few sixes, but in the end he got rid of him too, saving us 15-20 runs in the end.

23:47 (IST)

Sanju Samson: “I think we could’ve scored a few more runs. Dew came in and it got a bit hard to bowl later. (Wickets getting tougher to bat on) Maybe, maybe not. It was difficult batting first here. Depends on the wicket we’re playing on.”

23:44 (IST)

After 20 overs,Mumbai Indians 161/5 ( Tim David 20 , Daniel Sams 6)

Kuldeep Sen bowls is entrusted with the final over of the evening, and ends up bowling just two deliveres in the end. Pollard ends up playing a rash pull in the first delivery, getting caught by Mitchell at fine leg to raise hopes of an unlikely RR victory. Daniel Sams, though, walks out and smashes the ball out of the park first thing to bring the game to an end, with Mumbai finally having a W against their name after eight consecutive Ls.

23:40 (IST)

SIX! Daniel Sams finishes things off in style with a mighty hit over the midwicket fence as Mumbai Indians snap their eight-game losing run with a tense five-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals, collecting their first points of the season in the process! MI 161/5

23:37 (IST)

OUT! Kuldeep removes Pollard in the first delivery of the final over, leaving Mumbai Indians needing 4 off 5 with five wickets in hand! Pollard looks to finish things off in style, going for a pull, unfortunately straight in the direction of the fielder at fine leg. MI 155/5

23:32 (IST)

After 19 overs,Mumbai Indians 155/4 ( Kieron Pollard 10 , Tim David 20)

Prasidh Krishna bowls the penultimate over. David starts off with a single off the first ball before Pollard collects three consecutive doubles, bringing the required rate well below run-a-ball.

23:25 (IST)

After 18 overs,Mumbai Indians 147/4 ( Kieron Pollard 3 , Tim David 19)

Kuldeep, with two overs left in his kitty, returns in the 18th over. Leg bye added to the MI total in the first delivery followed by a streaky boundary to David in the second off an inside edge that narrowly misses the off pole. The next shot’s even better — David slapping a wide, length ball over extra cover to make it back-to-back boundaries. An under-pressure Sen then bowls a wide down the leg side. Single off each of the next three deliveries, leaving MI needing another 12 off as many deliveries.

23:18 (IST)

After 17 overs,Mumbai Indians 134/4 ( Kieron Pollard 2 , Tim David 9)

SIX! Tim David announces himself at the crease in style, getting down on one knee and slog-sweeping Chahal over long on for a monster hit! It was a googly from the leggie that the Australian-born Singaporean picked perfectly. Chahal beats Pollard completely with a ripper, one that pitches along leg and turns a mile. Pollard, facing three men down the ground including one right in front of the sight screen, decides to tap the ball towards square leg for a single in the last delivery. 10 off Chahal’s final over as he signs off with 1/33. MI need 25 off 18.

23:13 (IST)

After 16 overs,Mumbai Indians 124/4 ( Kieron Pollard 0 , Tim David 1)

23:12 (IST)

OUT! Both set MI batters depart in a space of three deliveries! This time it's Prasidh Krishna who strikes, as N Tilak Varma departs for 35. And it's Riyan Parag who ends up collecting the catch on both occasions, both near the long on region. MI 122/4

23:06 (IST)

OUT! Chahal gets rid of Surya after all as the MI No 3 ends up playing a shot too many. Surya takes a couple of steps down the track and looks to smash the ball over long on. Only he doesn't quite time it well, and Riyan Parag, running to his left from long on, ends up pulling off a fine catch right in front of the boundary. MI 122/3

Kuldeep Sen introduced in the ninth over. Starts off with a dot followed by a single off each of the next four deliveries. Bit of delay after the fifth delivery as Surya’s struck on his left hand by a throw from mid off while dashing towards the non-striker’s end, and needs a quick look from the team physio. Dot the end the over.

22:21 (IST)

After 8 overs,Mumbai Indians 66/2 ( Suryakumar Yadav 27 , Tilak Varma 10)

Yuzvendra Chahal introduced in the eighth over of the chase, with Yadav and Tilak Varma rotating the strike between themselves through the ones and twos, with five runs coming in the first five deliveries. Surya has a close shave in the final ball after the umpire turns down a confident LBW appeal against the batter.

21:47 (IST)

After 2 overs,Mumbai Indians 22/0 ( Rohit Sharma (C) 2 , Ishan Kishan (W) 19)

Prasidh Krishna bowls from the other end. Starts off on a tidy note, with just one conceded in the first three deliveries, before Kishan smacks him for back-to-back fours — smacking a full, wide ball down the ground followed by a pull over the fielder at midwicket. Kishan attempts to collect a hat-trick of fours, and is nearly caught by Chahal at extra cover in the process. 10 off the over. Mumbai off to a confident start in the run chase.

After 20 overs,Rajasthan Royals 158/6 ( Shimron Hetmyer 6 , Trent Boult 1)

Meredith bowls out the final over. Removes Ashwin with a slower bouncer at the start of the over, with Ashwin gloving it to the keeper while shaping for a hook. Trent Boult collects a single off the second. Dot off each of the next two, with Mumbai wasting a review in the fourth delivery after an unsuccessful LBW appeal. Wide called in the fifth delivery after the short ball from Meredith is deemed too high. Hetmyer turns down a single in the fifth ball, and finishes with a single off the final ball of the innings.

Rajasthan Royals finish on 158/6 after being asked to bat by Mumbai Indians.

SIX! SIX! SIX! SIX! Buttler finally tees off in the 16th over to give Rajasthan a much-needed boost after the boundaries had dried up in the middle overs, smashing four consecutive maximums to bring up yet another half-century this season. An uinder-pressure Shokeen though has the last laugh as Buttler holes out to long off in the last ball of the over.

21:02 (IST)

OUT! Only fitting for Shokeen to dismiss Buttler after getting smashed for four consecutive sixes by the Englishman.

20:54 (IST)

After 15 overs,Rajasthan Royals 102/3 ( Jos Buttler 43 , Shimron Hetmyer 1)

Sams removes Mitchell at the start of his final over, deceiving the Kiwi all-rounder with an offcutter. He is erratic in the remainder of the over though, firing a steep bouncer that flies over the keeper and runs all the way for five wides, followed by a low full toss that is dispatched by Buttler towards fine leg for a boundary in the fourth delivery. 11 runs and a wicket from the over, as Sams signs off with 1/32.

20:46 (IST)

20:45 (IST)

Kartikeya, who’s mixed things up quite nicely and has bowled both finger and wrist spin so far today, bowls out his final over on his IPL debut, conceding just four singles and signing off with impressive figures of 1/19. Just six overs to go in the Rajasthan innings and they’re yet to cross the 100-mark at the moment.

20:38 (IST)

After 13 overs,Rajasthan Royals 87/2 ( Jos Buttler 36 , Daryl Mitchell 15)

20:35 (IST)

After 12 overs,Rajasthan Royals 81/2 ( Jos Buttler 33 , Daryl Mitchell 13)

Another tidy over from Kartikeya with just three coming off it, all of them through singles. Buttler, meanwhile, is batting on 33 off 38 deliveries, and is starting to show signs of impatience.

20:29 (IST)

After 11 overs,Rajasthan Royals 78/2 ( Jos Buttler 31 , Daryl Mitchell 12)

Buttler keeps the strike with a single off the last ball.

23:41 (IST)

That's all we have from tonight's game. Tomorrow, KL Rahul faces his old team as Lucknow Super Giants take on Punjab Kings in Pune. Do make sure you join us for that one, but until then it's goodbye from us.

18:16 (IST)

Delhi Capitals will look to put the 'no-ball' controversy behind and gain much-needed momentum against another side seeking course correction, the Kolkata Knight Riders, in the Indian Premier League in Mumbai on Thursday.

Delhi suffered a 15-run loss against Rajasthan Royals, a game marred by a no-ball controversy over a high full toss that resulted in a one-match ban for assistant coach Pravin Amre.

Head coach Ricky Ponting watched the tight finish in quarantine and felt helpless. Now he is back with the team and is confident of finding momentum which will allow his players to play to their potential.

Delhi Capitals are currently seventh on the points table with three wins in seven outings. KKR are placed eighth having lost their last four games.
