Jaipur, April 07: After guiding Rajasthan Royals to a massive nine-wicket triumph over Kings XI Punjab, Michael Lumb said the runrate acquired from today’s win will hold them in good stead if the race to the semifinal gets close.
Lumb bulldozed the Kings XI Punjab bowlers with a 43-ball 83 to help Rajasthan overhaul the 154-run victory target with five overs to spare.
“The massive win today would certainly help us in the run for the semifinal. We were able to push up our run rate which would prove handy in case of close race,” said Lumb after the match.
On course for a well-deserved hundred, Lumb played a risky shot to hole out in the deep but the English player said he was more worried about the runrate than his personal score.
