spin wizard Shane Warne quit professional cricket Friday after leading Rajasthan Royals to a 10-wicket win over Mumbai Indians in his farewell Indian Premier League match. Rajasthan, already out of contention, rode on Shane Watson's all-round show (3-19 and 89 not out) to achieve a 134-run target and finish its campaign with six victories in 14 games of the Twenty20 tournament. Australian Watson smashed six sixes and nine fours in his explosive 47-ball knock, while Rahul Dravid remained unbeaten with a 32-ball 43. Mumbai, with eight wins in 13 matches, now needs a victory in its last game to make sure of the play-offs. A capacity crowd at the Wankhede Stadium also witnessed Warne's last battle with another legend, Indian batting superstar Sachin Tendulkar, their first encounter being in the Sydney Test in 1992. Warne, who quit international cricket in 2007, spent four seasons with Rajasthan who will always remember his contribution as a spinner, captain, coach and mentor. He led a bunch of no-hopers to the title triumph in the inaugural edition in 2008 before eventually ending his IPL career with 57 wickets in 55 matches. Scores: Mumbai Indians 133-5 in 20 overs (R. Sharma 58, S. Tendulkar 31, K. Pollard 20; S. Watson 3-19, S. Warne 1-30) lost to Rajasthan Royals 134-0 in 13.1 overs (S. Watson 89 not out, R. Dravid 43 not out) by 10 wickets. – Agence France
