MI vs RCB, 27th match at Mumbai, IPL, May 06 2014 - Match Result
Presentation:
Rohit: "By far the best game so far. This is what MI is all about, we took some brilliant catches. Wankhede always has some dew and the bowlers did very well. Suyal came back very well and things slowed down for RCB. We kept taking wickets. Important for me to step up and I'm glad I played an important knock. We're keeping our heads up. We need to be positive. Next game against CSK is also very important."
Rohit is the Man of the Match as well.
Kohli: "Very gettable, we could have batted smarter, one more partnership was needed. It was a dream start, we could not capitalise on it. Every team plays hard and these sort of things happen. If we had applied ourselves we could have crossed the line. Not losing hope, we need to win at least five out of the next seven."
That's it from us here. Double-header tomorrow. Thanks for your company. For now, this is Kanishkaa signing off. Good night!
End of the match: Mumbai win their second game at the Wankhede and a good comeback after their UAE horror. They have batted RCB out of this match. We had the Pollard-Starc incident to spice things up.
Anish: "Field day for the match referee, match got over in 4 hours (probably fines for both the captains) and then the fight between Pollard and Starc. IPL Committee will be loving this !! "
Pramod Bhushan: ""Extras" was the difference between the 2 teams"
a wide to delay the inevitable, this was short and too wide outside off, swings at it
fires that on a yorker length and he makes room and drills it to the off side
slower ball and he swings and misses and that sneaks past the stumps
drifts on the leg side and he gets an inside edge and the ball rolls to the off side
Aaron comes forward and has another free swing at a short ball and that clears the keeper
comes down the track to have a swing at Pollard and misses, slower ball
he makes room and has a swing and misses
low inswinging full toss and he gets an inside edge to the pads
the yorker length again and he makes room and carves it down to deep cover
good yorker on middle and Dinda can only drill it back to the bowler
scoops to cover, this was the slower ball by Malinga, Rossouw gave the charge and looked to clear the off side, chipped it to Rohit at cover
Rossouw's not given up on this! Malings fires a length ball, in the slot for him and he swings and sends it soaring over wide long-on
pacy delivery outside off, he makes room to swing and he's beaten
makes room and looks to slog and he gets an inside edge to the body
he pushes it behind point
Girish: "Starc throws ball at Pollard! Pollard throws bat at Starc! Starc runs out Pollard!! Pollard caught Starc!! Both involved in each other's dismissal without taking their wicket! So battle ends in tie!"
knocks the off stump down this time, it was the off cutter, Harshal shuffled across and he wasn't too sure what he was trying, walked all around it and the ball brushed his hip and hit the off stump which lands a couple of yards back
Harshal showing he can tonk it too, this was fired full and he made room and swung at it and sent it a few rows over deep cover
drilled towards long-on and they set off for the second but Anderson attacks the ball and fires it to the keeper, Patel had to scamper back and dive, third umpire takes a look
full outside off and drilled down to long-off
