wide length ball, he rocks back and smashes it over cover for four. Harbhajan does a bit of a Bhangnam again. Mumbai Indians go to No. 2 on the table
Warriors vs MI, 58th match at Pune, IPL, May 11 2013 - Match Result
MI won by 5 wickets (with 7 balls remaining)
That's all we have for you from game one. Mumbai are at No. 2 now. Change the tab to the other game now
Fake fight going on between the Singhs. Harbhajan is on the ground, and is taking punches from Yuvraj. And the umpires join in the act. Rebuking them. All a show perhaps for the crowd who can't see this up close.
Post-match presentation:
Aaron Finch: "I thought we had a really good start, through that middle part wuth Yuvi and Pandey, but quick wickets didn't help, if we had 20 runs more we could have squeezed them a bit. We got three days off now before we play KKR in Ranchi."
Rohit Sharma: "All credit goes to the boys, whatever changes I have made on the field, they are responding very well, it is really working out very well for me. We should carry the same momentum."
Man of the Match and contender for bowler of the season is Mitchell Johnson: "definitely enjoying myself, we haven't bowled first in a while, it was nice to get out there and bowl first. You had to bowl a little bit shorter on this slow wicket, I think being a fast bowler you have to try being intimidating. Being a fast bowler is all about mixing it up."
quick full ball, it goes between Harbhajan's leg. Will these dots this over eventually be the difference between second and third spot?
length ball, outside off, defended to cover
Harbhajan Singh is the new man in. Another little thing between Yuvraj and Harbhajan
wide half-volley, Sharma drives, gets a thick edge, and it is taken by a leaping Dinda at short third man. Sharma is livid, but he has done his job
full toss, hit straight to mid-on
All fielders in the circle
slower short ball again, pulled away for one again
slower length ball. Maxwell adjusts well, gets a single to point
slower short ball, one too many, and he makes room and pulls this over deep midwicket for six. Mumbai within striking distance now
makes room to drive a full ball, but hits it straight to mid-off
slower bouncer. Beats the pull and hits him in the chest
that was a good bouncer. At 139ks. Maxwell is clearly late into the pull, and it goes off the glove to fine leg for four
Fourteen required off the last three. Pune need a wicket
googly, but too full. No time for turn. Driven to long-on for one
punched to long-on for one
past the diving Dinda. He leans back to dab on this flat ball, Dinda puts the dive in, but doesn't get to it. It wasn't that well timed. he vould have chased after it and kept them down to two
short of a length, middle and leg, pushed to the straightish short midwicket
this one moves in a little, hits the inside half of the defensive bat. What are the chances Sharma just sees off this over?
pushed off the front foot, past cover
Oh. Pandey is off with a cramp. And Maxwell is the new man in. Mendis to bowl his last over. A slip in place
Time for a timeout
Dinda keeps them in. Rayudu hasn't seen them through. Rayudu moves across the line to try to pull this over short fine leg, but the ball doesn't quite come on, and he ends up pulling it straight to deep backward square leg
driven to deep cover for one
slower ball wide yorker. Beats his attempt to drive it
