Defending champions Mumbai Indians beat Rajasthan Royals by 57 runs at Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi yesterday night. 

Earlier Mumbai Indians won the toss and opted to bat first. Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma gave a decent start but they couldn't convert their starts into big knocks and at 88/3 the match was balanced. Suryakumar Yadav was rock solid at his end and brought up his 8th IPL fifty and along with Hardik Pandya added 76 runs for the fifth wicket and Mumbai finished on 193/4. Suryakumar Yadav played 79* runs knock while Hardik contributed with 30* runs. 

In reply, Rajasthan Royals had a very poor start and lost Yashasvi Jaiswal, Steven Smith, and Sanju Samson in the first three overs. Jos Buttler kept playing his shots and in no time brought up his first fifty of this IPL season. He had no support from the other end so he had to play his shots and eventually got out for 70 runs off 44 balls. In the end, Jofra Archer too played a few shots but those weren't enough and in the 19th over Royals bowled out for 136 runs.

For Mumbai Indians, Jasprit Bumrah took 4 wickets while Trent Boult and James Pattinson took 2 wickets each.
