Mumbai Indians win CLT20 2013
Mumbai Indians beat Rajasthan Royals by 33 runs in final match of Champions League Twenty20 2013.
NEW DELHI (Web Desk) Rajasthan Royals were bowled out for 169 runs while chasing the mammoth total of 202 runs against Mumbai Indians. Rohit Sharma's men are the deserving champions. Sachin Tendulkar has been lifted by his mates.
The owner, Nita Ambani comes across and hands him a Mumbai flag. Spare a thought for Rajasthan though, they played a superb brand of cricket, were unbeateable at home but eventually they could not match the ultra riches that Mumbai had.
Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson, two of the most talented Indian youngsters showed superb spirit and looked good to pose a threat to the chase of 202. Samson played an absolute blinder, but his dismissal and then followed by Watson was the death blow for Dravid's boys.
Rajasthan still looked good to pull off the blinder as they reached 155/3 at the end of 16 overs. They needed one big over, unfortunately Harbhajan had different ideas as he conceded just 4 runs and grabbed 3 crucial wickets. It was the end for Rajasthan as they failed to recover from the blow and eventually succumbed to a defeat.
