The match began with Rajasthan Royals choosing to field, hoping to replicate their success from their previous game at this stadium on Monday. Despite having made three changes to their XI which won them the game, in part due to Injury to Sandeep Sharma, their decsion appeared to have been the correct one, as the Mumbai Indians appeared to get off to a slow start, with Rohit Sharma surviving an early scare, having been saved by DRS due to the ball pitching outside leg stump by the thinnest of margins.Having seen the early overs through, the openers freed their arms and started playing some shots, ending with 58 for no loss at the end of six, with Rickleton being the more aggressive of the two. The trend continued even after the powerplay as the pair stitched together a century partnership and maintained a steady run rate of around ten an over.
