Rajasthan: 169 (18.5 overs)

Mumbai: 202-6 (20 overs)

Rahul Dravid walks out to bat, one last time. He can manage only one, before Coulter-Nile cleans him up.

Pollard has Yagnik (6) caught behind and follows it up having Shukla caught by Smith at deepmidwicket.

In his fifth ball of the over, Pollard has Faulkner (2) caught by Smith to ensure Mumbai an emphatic win.

23:06

Scorecard:

Rajasthan: 159-5 (17 overs)

Mumbai: 202-6 (20 overs)

Watson (8) smashes a huge six over deep square leg off Pollard but holes out while attempting a second off Harbhajan, the West Indies allrounder taking a well-judged catch.

And when Harbhajan has Rahane (65) caught in the deep, it puts skids on the Rajasthan chase.

Rahane's 47-ball knock was inclusive of five boundaries and two sixes. Binny (10) is soon castled. And Kevon Cooper (4) is out stumped off the last ball.

Harbhajan gets three wickets in his last over to end with figures of four for 32. And the Rajasthan innings disintegrates.

22:43

Scorecard:

Rajasthan: 124-2 (13 overs)

Mumbai: 202-6 (20 overs)

A horrible mix-up between Harbhajan and Maxwell hands Samson (on 53) a life, much to the dismay of the bowler (Coulter-Nile).

Harbhajan albeit atones for his blemish taking a good catch at short third man to end Samson's (60) innings, Ojha being the bowler. Samson's 33-ball 60 was inclusive of four boundaries and an equal number of sixes and he helped Rahane add 109 runs (off just 67 balls) for the second wicket.

Ojha ends with respectable figures of one for 26.

Shane Watson is the new man in. Rahane completes a well-deserved half century, his fourth in succession, with a boundary off Harbhajan.

Rajasthan: 105-1 (10 overs)

Mumbai: 202-6 (20 overs)

Pragyan Ojha is handed the ball in the sixth over. He gives away eight runs first up with Rahane smashing a six over deep midwicket.

Rajasthan manage 71 runs in the first six overs. They are very much on track.

It's a twin bowling change, Kieron Pollard replacing Coulter-Nile (1-0-17-0) at the other end. He gives away eight runs as well.

Samson smashes a six off Ojha's second over. Another boundary in Pollard's second over helps him complete a well-deserved half century, the shot also helping Rajasthan get to the 100-run mark.

22:06

Rajasthan: 63-1 (5 overs)

Mumbai: 202-6 (20 overs)

Rishi Dhawan to bowl with the second new ball. He gives away just six runs, with Rahane getting a boundary past point.

Dhawan goes for 14 in his second over with both the batsmen clearing the fence.

Nathan Coulter-Nile to bowl the fifth over. A six by Samson off the third ball helps Rajasthan get past the 50-run mark. A boundary off the next ball helps raise the 50-run partnership for the second wicket.

Sanju Samson is the new batsman.

21:35

Scorecard:

Mumbai: 202-6 (20 overs)

Shukla concedes 20 runs in his final over to finish with woeful figures of one for 49.

Faulkner concedes 18 in his last to end with equally forgettable figures (4-0-46-1).

Maxwell (37) is run out in the final over. The Australian's 14-ball innings was inclusive of four boundaries and a couple of sixes and he helped Karthik (13 not out) add 41 runs (in just 14 balls) to the sixth wicket.

Mumbai manage 202 for six in their stipulated 20 overs, 83 runs coming off the last five overs.

It's MI's highest score in the Champions League. Rajasthan have their task cut out.

21:22

Scorecard:

Mumbai: 172-5 (18 overs)

Just when the partnership looked to threaten Rajasthan Faulkner castles Pollard (15). However, in comes Glenn Maxwell and he smashes a boundary over square leg and a six over deep square leg to take Mumbai to the 150-run mark.

Shukla albeit has Rohit (33) caught by Faulkner at deep midwicket in the next over. The Mumbai captain's 14-ball knock was inclusive of three boundaries and a couple of sixes.

Maxwell eases the pressure with a six and a boundary.

21:11

Scorecard:

Mumbai: 139-3 (16 overs)

Rohit Sharma has replaced Smith at the crease. He smashes Stuart Binny for a huge six to make his intentions clear. In fact 16 runs comes off that Binny over.

Mumbai: 82-2 (12 overs)

Smith eases the pressure with three successive boundaries off Watson. However, Tambe manages to get past his defense in the next over.

Smith's 39-ball 44 was inclusive of five hits to the fence and one over it and added 42 runs for the second wicket with Rayudu. The latter eases the pressure with a boundary in the same over.

20:43

Scorecard:

Mumbai: 60-1 (10 overs)

Kevon Cooper replaces Watson (2-0-15-1) in the attack in the seventh over. He gives away five runs first up.

It's a twin bowling change, Pravin Tambe replacing Shukla (2-0-15-0) in the next. The veteran gives away just three runs in his first over.

Tendulkar's dismissal has slowed it down for Mumbai.

20:24

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and invited Mumbai Indians to bat first in the Champions League T20 final at the Ferozshah Kotla on Sunday.

"It is humid and the dew will be a factor late in the evening," reasons captain Rahul Dravid.

"Hopefully, we can put together another good performance," he adds. His opposite number, Rohit Sharma, agreed with the decision.

"We would have fielded as well but now we will look to put up a good total on board and come back and defend," he says.

Both sides have a change, Kushal Perea replacing an injured Brad Hodge in the Rajasthan squad and Glenn Maxwell coming in for Mitchell Johnson for Mumbai.
