Full commentary
All too easy for Mumbai, and their job was made even easier by Nannes' injury. Tendulkar and Rayudu cruised to non-violent half-centuries to set up the big win.
Ambati Rayudu: "We have been working hard in the nets. I like playing in Bangalore, since I've always scored runs here. Tendulkar helped me a lot today, guiding me in a couple of tight situations."
Ankush Singhla: "Vettori must have been wondering since the start of this match - "Wasn't I supposed to be playing at "home"? Then why is the other team being cheered more." Yup, the crowd didn't seem particularly disappointed even after such a comprehensive defeat.
Hang on for the presentation ceremony:
Robin Jackman having a hard time pronouncing the names of the dignitaries at the presentation ceremony.
Daniel Vettori: "We came off the field thinking it was a difficult wicket, but we didn't bowl particularly well, and the injury to Nannes (side strain) hampered our plans, so we came away disappointed. We thought 140 was a good score."
Sachin Tendulkar is the Man of the Match. Tendulkar brings along Rayudu to collect the award.Nice gesture that.
Tendulkar: "When we started to bowl, we had hoped the target to be a maximum of 140. Malinga again provided us a great start, and the young man Rayudu played well as well. It is a good beginning, a long way to go, we want to focus on our consistency."
