London: England & Rajasthan Royals' Dimitri Mascarenhas' all-round effort overwhelmed the Middlesex Panthers in front of a large, enthusiastic crowd at Lord's. He blasted 32 of Rajasthan Royal's final 37 runs at a strike-rate of 200 to haul them to a competitive score, and then took two wickets, including the big one of Owais Shah, with the new ball.
Dawid Malan and Eoin Morgan then showed off some unconventional strokes but they weren't too effective, as Middlesex could only cobble together 24 runs in a seven-over period, leaving them at 47 for 3 after 10.
Nearly two runs were needed off each ball after that, a task which proved well beyond Middlesex, especially against the likes of Shane Warne and a rejuvenated Sohail Tanvir.
It was Warne's final competitive game at Lord's and the legspinner had flown in from Las Vegas, where he's playing poker, on Sunday evening to play the match today.
He bowled impressively for someone who admitted to being out of practice, taking 1 for 24 off four overs, and is due to fly out to Las Vegas again on Tuesday morning.
He came on to bowl in the 10th over of the Middlesex innings, and received a massive cheer from the substantial crowd.
Brief Score: Rajasthan Royals 162 for 5 (Asnodkar 41, Kaif 41, Mascarenhas 32*) beat Middlesex Panthers 116 for 7 (Malan 34, Tanvir 3-20) by 46 runs.
