With this win Mumbai Indians sealed their place for the semi final.

Sachin Tendulkr helped the Mumbai Indians to recover from thirty for three to get a competetive 174 runs in twenty overs. In reply there was complete chaos and panic in Rajasthan Royals camp as they lost eight wickets in 20 overs making 137 runs. There were three consecutive run outs in Rajasthan Royals innings.

RR paid a heavy price for dropping Sachin in his forties as he made a power packed 89 runs in just 59 balls with two sixes and ten fours. Sachin got his fifty runs in 45 balls while his last 39 runs came in 14 balls, which included two sixes and five fours. With highest runs in the IPL3 Sachin Tendulkar got the orange cap from Jacques Kallis.

Playing for the target of 175 runs Rajasthan Royals got a bad start and soon slumped to eleven for three wickets as Micheal Lumb got out for eight, Ojha got a duck and Faiz Fazal was run out for 10. They lost Fazal on 34 as their fourth wicket.

Yusuf Pathan too was a failure making just 10 runs. AC Voges, AS Raut and AP Dole put some respectability to RR's score.

For MI Zaheer Khan took tow for seventeen in his four overs. Lasith Malinga and Harbhajhan Singh too bolwed quite economocally giving 23 an 21 runs respectively.

Earlier Mumbai Indians lost their first wicket on twelve when the comeback man and the newly elected MP of Sri Lanka Mr. Sanath Jayasuriya was caught by Jhunjhunwala off the bowling of Shane Watson on his personal score of one. MI got another jolt on the same score as Ambati Rayudu was caught by the wicketkeepr Naman Ojha for a nought. Shane Watson was the bowler. Eighteen runs later MI's another hero Saurabh Tiwary was consumed by yet again Shane Watson. He was caught by Dole on his personal score of 15. JP Duminy stopped the slide and too the score to 93 runs with Tendulkar. Duminy was out on his personal score of 31 runs in 32 balls hitting four forus. In the end KA Pollard provided the peg with a quickfire 25 runs in just 13 balls hitting one six and three fours.

For the RR Shane Watson returned with the best figure of three wickets for 37 runs in four overs. Shane Warne could not get any wicket for his thirty four runs in four overs.
