AUSTRALIAN all-rounder Shane Watson continued his good form as Rajasthan Royals claimed victory with two balls to spare in the opening match of the Champions League T20 tournament in India.

The Royals wrapped up the win over Mumbai Indians in Jaipur with seven wickets remaining, Stuart Binny bringing up the winning runs with a towering six off Aussie bowler Nathan Coulter-Nile.

Indian teenagar Sanju Samson top-scored for Rajasthan with a well composed 54 that belied his tender years, with Watson and Binny (27 each) combining to get the Royals home.

Mumbai, featuring Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar at the top of the order, managed to reach 7-142 batting first, with Rohit Sharma (44) top-scoring.

Tendulkar managed just 15 off 17 balls, while West Indies all-rounder Kieron Pollard provided plenty of fireworks with his big-hitting late in the innings.

Mitchell Johnson, playing for Mumbai, finished with unflattering figures of 0-38 from his four overs, although the left-armer did trouble Samson and was unlucky not to have the 18-year-old given out lbw early in his innings.

The tournament continues on Sunday when Australian side Brisbane Heat takes on Trinidad & Tobago in Ranchi.
