That is all from this game for now. Good night

Steven Smith is the Man of the Match and also gets the Orange Cap. Smith: "I am doing it consistently now, moving across my stumps, it is working, no need to change it. We were trying to keep it around ten an over or under that, managed to do it for quite a while."

Rohit Sharma: "We did not start well with the bat, poor performance with the bat, thanks to Corey and Polly for bringing us back in the game. I think it was a decent score, not a great one but something to bowl at. Royals batted well. We have some work to do. We have to take responsibility with bat and be a little disciplined with ball. Aaron Finch does not look good right now. He will take a scan tomorrow."

Steven Smith leads Royals to three wins in three, while Mumbai Indians have suffered their third defeat in as many games. Their batting has been up and down, and the bowling has not been able to create any pressure. Super innings from captain Smith, stepped up against the opposition's best bowler at the end there.

yaniv: "Don't understand Rohit's tactics here. If you've decided not to bowl a bowler (Vinay) at the end, why don't use his quota completely in the beginning when he is containing the runs."

LM: "I think Mumbai lost to poor captaincy today. This score was defendable. Wrong choice of bowlers at wrong time"

Siddharth: "MI are notoriously slow starters in pretty much every IPL (2014 being the most classic case of all). At the same time, given the way RR's results went into free fall after they had won 5 of their first 7 games last year, I wouldn't read much into the points table the way it is now (except maybe the fact that CSK will continue to linger at or close to the top)."
