Mumbai: The target was 241 runs. However, the semi-final of the T20 World Cup proved that even after scoring 250 runs in 20 overs at Wankhede, one cannot feel completely safe. So the fans of Mumbai Indians (Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru) were also hoping to win this mountain of runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Shrefane Rutherford came down to chase big runs. He scored a terrific half-century. Hardik PandyaSuryakumar Jadwar also played a good innings. But it was not enough to win.
In their first game of the season Kolkata Knight RidersThe Paltans lost three matches in a row after losing K. On the other hand, despite losing against Rajasthan Royals in the last match, RCB turned around and won in the very next match. They beat Mumbai Indians by 18 runs.
On this day, Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma started to score very fast runs in chasing big runs. They added 39 runs in three overs. However, Rohit returned to the dressing room as a ‘retired heart’. ‘Hitman’ retired Hart in the sixth over. It is heard that Rohit has strained his hamstring. That is why he was forced to leave the field with 19 runs. Even Rickelton was taking the innings forward. However, Suyash Sharma sent Rickelton home with 37 runs on the first ball. Swash also returned Tilak Verma in the same over. Tilak’s disappointing IPL continued
In such a situation, Suryakumar and Hardik Pandya handled the innings for the team. The partnership of the two broke on the threshold of fifty. Krunal Pandya sent Suryakumar home for 33 runs. Hardik Pandya also got out for 40 runs. In such a situation, Rutherford was the last hope of the team. He played, batted. But no one from the other side was there to help him. So even Rutherford’s half-century in 26 balls could not win Mumbai Indians.
