Jofra Archer’s all-round performance helped Mumbai Indians defeat Rajasthan Royals by 30 runs and seal the fourth and final spot in the Playoffs.

The Englishman, who scored 32 off 17 with the bat and registered figures of 3/17 in four overs with the ball, was the most impactful player across both teams.

For MI, Will Jacks was the standout performer, who, like Archer, contributed with both bat and ball but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 10th defeat of the season for the five time champion.
