Mumbai posted a massive total of 193/4 at the end of their 20 overs. Suryakumar Yadav scored a blistering 47-ball 79. Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya also chipped in with useful contributions.

The Mumbai bowlers were relentless in their attack and their fielders backed them up with some exceptional fielding. Jos Buttler was the lone wolf for Rajasthan who scored a 44-ball 70 while the rest of the batsmen had no answers to Mumbai's impeccable bowling. Eventually, they were bowled out for 136 and lost their third consecutive match.  

Courtesy of their win over Rajasthan, the Mumbai outfit has now gone clear at the top of the Dream11 IPL 2020 points table with four wins in six games. Meanwhile, according to the Mumbai Dream11 IPL 2020 schedule, Rohit Sharm's side will next be in action on Sunday, October 11 against Delhi in Abu Dhabi. The Mumbai-based franchise will look to keep the winning momentum going by beating Delhi.
