IPL 2022, Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai Indians Highlights: RCB march on as MI lose four on the trot
Mumbai Indians' season of woes just got a tad worse after the five-time champions followed another high-profile team Chennai Super Kings to lose their fourth match on the bounce as Royal Challengers Bangalore cantered to an easy seven-wicket win in an IPL match on Saturday. It was Suryakumar Yadav's unbeaten 68 that gave Mumbai Indians a respectable total of 151 for 6 but that was never going to be enough as young Anuj Rawat (66 off 47 balls) struck his maiden IPL fifty, anchoring the team to the target in just 18.3 overs. As it happened | Scorecard | Points TableHe had two fifty plus partnerships -- 50 for opening stand with skipper Faf du Plessis (16) and 80 with former skipper and his West Delhi Cricket Academy senior Virat Kohli (48 off 36 balls) for the second wicket to seal the issue. Rawat scored at a decent strike-rate if not rollicking one and had two fours and six maximums in his kitty. Mumbai Indians are currently last in the table of 10 teams because of an inferior net run-rate compared to CSK but the road towards redemption is becoming difficult with every passing match.
