MI vs RR, Live Score, IPL 2021, Match 24: Shivam Dube, Sanju Samson steady Rajasthan after difficult spell

IPL 2021, LIVE Cricket Score, MI vs RR (Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals):

Jayant back into the attack. Samson dabs the fuller ball to long-on for a single to start the over. Dube slams a six on the second ball. From round the wicket the angle is inside Dube and the length was short. That has been the undoing of MI bowlers today. The short deliveries. Couple of wide deliveries from Jayant as he tried bowling away from the batters. 13 from the over with five singles.

Rajasthan Royals are a further three places down in seventh place, but Sanju Samson won’t be worrying too much about it just yet, seeing as they’re tied on four points with this afternoon’s opponents.
