This was Mumbai's fourth successive win, having earlier defeated Delhi, Maharashtra and Puducherry. Opting to bat at the KL Saini stadium, Mumbai rode on Iyer's 103-ball knock to post a competitive 317/7. The elegant right-handed batsman led from the front before his bowlers bundled out the opposition for 250 with Thakur (4/50) doing the bulk of the damage. Mumbai openers -- young Yashasvi Jaiswal (38) and Prithvi Shaw (36) -- gave the domestic giants a strong start, adding 71 for the first wicket. But Rajasthan pegged back Mumbai by removing both the openers in quick succession as they slipped to 83/2. Iyer anchored the innings before toying with the Rajasthan attack, scoring his second century of the tournament with the help of 11 fours and three sixes.

Report: NFL team might throw ‘entire draft’ at Texans for Deshaun Watson
Right now, there is a bit of a standoff going on in Houston between the Texans and star quarterback Deshaun Watson . The team doesn’t seem willing to trade Watson, and he doesn’t want to play for the Texans again, but the NFL Draft may prompt some movement. On Saturday, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler joined SportsCenter to provide an update on the situation between the Texans and Watson.
