[Saba Sports News] Mumbai Indians faced Rajasthan Royals in the 14th game of IPL 2024 at Wankhede Stadium on April 1. Mumbai struggled to put up a competitive total, managing only 125 runs in the first innings.
During the second innings, a notable moment occurred when a fan breached security and ran towards Mumbai Indians’ players, startling former skipper Rohit Sharma in the process. The incident went viral on social media as Mumbai aimed to defend their low total, hoping to avoid their third loss of the season.
It turned out to be a forgettable match for Mumbai Indians as Rajasthan’s bowling attack dominated. Despite Hardik Pandya being the highest run-scorer for Mumbai with 34 runs, they could only reach a total of 125 runs. Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal were the top wicket-takers for Rajasthan Royals with three scalps each, supported by Nandre Burger with two and Avesh Khan with one.
In their chase, Rajasthan Royals faced an early setback with openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler dismissed cheaply. However, Riyan Parag’s unbeaten 54 runs guided them to victory with six wickets in hand. With this win, Royals secured their third consecutive victory while handing Mumbai Indians their third loss of the season.
