Full commentary

Presentation: Danny M gets it wrong, thanking everyone on behalf of "LPI", that on a second attempt. Saying that in front of Lalit Modi. Somebody could become Donald Trump to punish that capital offense.

Also Lasith "Slinga" Malinga has now taken the purple cap with that two-wicket over.

Brendon McCullum: "We need to look deep inside ourselves, and find a way now." No excuses.

Sachin Tendulkar: "It was wonderful. A good partnership for us. Sanath picked the pace quite well, because initially I took all the strike.

Everything went to our plan. Maybe we could have got 200, but everything else went right."

Sachin is also the Man of the Match. Thanks for joining us. Okay bye.

*

Mumbai have run through Kolkata here. Clinical, graceful, aggressive. Sachin and Sanath was the best batting show of this IPL. Although they didn't get 200, Mumbai's bowling was always going to be too good.
