Rajasthan 144-2 (16 ovs) vs Mumbai 168-6 | Scorecard

Samson doing the sensible thing as he takes a quiet single to bring Buttler back on strike, who takes on Bumrah this time around.

A short ball is pulled through midwicket for a four before he swings the next over square leg as it goes all the way for a six.

Buttler nearly drags one back to his stumps as he gets one off the inside edge and Samson ends the over with another single.

Bumrah has gone for 14 runs in his third over as Mumbai's hopes take a big hit.

Buttler is single-handedly leading Rajasthan's charge, smashing his way to 80 from 46 balls, having hit eight fours and fours sixes already.

Samson joins the party as he paddles Markande's leg side delivery fine on the leg side for a four and then takes a single to midwicket.

Buttler reverse sweeps the next ball from way outside leg stump for one before Samson lofts the fourth ball back over the bowler's head for a four.

Two more singles as Markande concedes 12 from the over as Rajasthan reach 144 for two in 16 overs, needing 25 from the last four overs for victory.
