Rajasthan Royals successful thrilling run-chase. They have made a mockery of MI’s bowling. Uthappa began the show, but was dismissed early, Stokes launched into Boult with four fours in his second over and that set-up the chase. No one was spared, even though Smith fell cheaply, there was Samson who was there to give support. It was a stunning counter-punch – everything that MI threw was responded in glorious fashion. The left-handed Stokes led the assault and Samson followed suit. 107 for 2 after 12 overs soon became 172 for 2 after 16 – such was the ferociousness of this chase. Ben Stokes scored 107* runs 60 balls and Sanju Samson scored 54* in 31 balls. For MI Pattinson picks 2 wickets for 40 runs in 3.2 overs.
Top effort from @benstokes38 107* and Samson 54* as they steer @rajasthanroyals to an 8-wicket win against #MI.#Dream11IPL pic.twitter.com/IuHBbTgEDa

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : Congratulations to RR for their much needed win. With this win they have officially eliminated CSK from this season and keep their chances alive for this season. After giving away flurry of runs in death overs and 2 early wickets in run chase superb batting by Stokes and Samson ensured no any drama happens at the end. Tomorrow is important game between KXIP and KKR and the two leaders of the chasing pack will go head-to-head. The Royals will surely root for KXIP to come up trumps for their chances.
MI batted brilliantly in first 10 overs and finished with enormous total on this ground due to Pandya‘s belligerent unbeaten knock at the end. MI bowlers started off well and picks 2 early wickets but after that not able to break the unbeaten partnership. Pitch seems better in 2nd half but still RR was chasing a big total but mediocre bowling performance was the reason of their loss today. Although this game will not impact on their chances for play-offs but they need to win next game to boost up their confidence.
