Rajasthan 44-1 (5 ovs) vs Mumbai 168-6 | Scorecard

Spin introduced early as Krunal Pandya comes into the attack. He nearly strikes in his first over as Buttler plays the sweep but it falls just short of Mayank Markande at short fine leg.

But it is a tidy first over from the spinner as he gives away just five runs as Mumbai look to build the pressure with a tight spell early on.

McClenaghan starts his second over with a poor delivery, down the leg side as Rahane glances it fine for a four.

Rahane tries the upper cut to the short ball but fails to make proper connection before the pacer bowls a leg side wide.

Rahane then takes on the short ball but is beaten before he again clips the last ball fine on the leg side for another four and he takes a single to get 10 from the over.

In the next over, Buttler lofts Krunal over the off-side for a four before he slog sweeps the next and clears the fielder at square leg for a six.

Rajasthan have recovered to 44 for one in five overs, with Rahane on 18 from 14 balls, and Buttler on 14 from 11 balls.
