That's what we are crying for, says Smith after Stokes-Samson show

ABU DHABI: Rajasthan Royals (RR) captain Steve Smith said that the manner in which they beat Mumbai Indians on Sunday at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium was exactly what they have been looking for this season. RR, whose chances of making it to the playoffs are hanging by a thread, stunned league leaders MI by chasing down a target of 196 with eight wickets and two overs to spare.

They pulled off the chase thanks to unbeaten knocks of 107 and 54 from Ben Stokes and Sanju Samson, respectively.

"Very pleased, that's what we're crying for, use the experience, take the game deep and that's what both Stokes and Samson did," said RR captain Steve Smith in the post-match presentation ceremony.

"The wicket was playing good, the ball was coming onto the bat, there was intent - the shots were flowing, they just played good cricketing shots - I thought the partnership was fantastic," he said. IANS
