IPL 2012 – Match 72
Rajasthan Royals v Mumbai Indians
Sun 20 May 2012, 03:30pm BST, 08:00pm local
Mumbai Indians win by 10 wickets
| Rajasthan Royals | 162-6 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Mumbai Indians | 163-0 (18 ovs) |
Over 19. 1 run. Bowler: Shane Watson. Mumbai Indians: 163/0(rr 8.58)
Wide Watson to Smith. In-swinging length ball, wide down leg side on the front foot glancing, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Yagnik. So the easiest of wins for Mumbai as they prepare for the play-offs. This is the fifth ten-wicket victory in the history of the IPL, and the highest score of the five. There were some moments for Rajasthan as some difficult catches just did not go to hand, while one that did was ruled a no-ball. However, the bowling and fielding looked pretty indifferent. Smith was in top form, racing to 87 while Tendulkar played a supporting role with his 58.

Mumbai Indians win by 10 wickets

| Mumbai Indians | 163-0 (18 ovs) |
Mumbai Indians warmed up for the Indian Premier League play-offs with a 10-wicket win over Rajasthan Royals in their final group match.
The Indians, already guaranteed a top four place before today's match, lost the toss and big-hitting Australian Shane Watson top-scored with 45 as the Royals reached 162 for six.
Stuart Binny struck 30, while Owais Shah and Ashok Menaria contributed 28 not out and 21 respectively, with Dhawal Kulkarni taking three for 18 to finish as the pick of Mumbai's bowlers.
Any hopes that might be a competitive total were quickly dismissed as Sachin Tendulkar and Dwayne Smith settled into their stride immediately.
Smith was the more attacking of the two, plundering 10 fours and three sixes in his unbeaten 81, while Tendulkar finished on 58 not out as Mumbai reached their target of 163 with two overs to spare.
