MI vs Kings XI, 35th match at Mohali, IPL, May 03 2015 - Ball by Ball Commentary

And that's that. Thanks for your company fellas. But the day's not over yet. Vishal's waiting your company at the Royals-Daredevils scorecard

Lendl Simmons is the Man of the Match "Getting the basics right. Get a start and go on. It's a flat batting wicket and if you're a good player, you get runs. I prefer batting on Indian tracks, back home the wickets are slower. And being an opener helps. It was a team sport, had to wait my turn and when I got it I wanted to use it"

Presentation time "I think the guys have started taking responsibility. Every body wants to be a hero and are putting their hands up. That's what we've been talking about. it's not just one guy winning it for us," Rohit Sharma says, "At the start of the tournament, we were actually confused about going with two seamers and two batters in the overseas players. Finch and Anderson were coming off such a high from the World Cup and we can't rest Pollard and Malinga. But when Finch got injured we put McClenaghan in and he knows his game so well. Simmons and Parthiv played fantastically. We know what happens when you get such a start. For the last three-four games, we've had good opening partnerships. I hope they continue, and hopefully so will our middle order and our bowlers. Lasith has been a magical performer for Mumbai. Whenver I throw the ball at him, I can relax. Makes a captain's job a lot easier"

7.30 pm It was a striking image. George Bailey flinging his bat down onto the turf in anger. It is Kings XI's seventh loss in nine games and are all but out of the tournament now. Mumbai Indians enjoyed a great opening stand, and then their death-over specialists Lasith Malinga and Mitchell McClenghan wrapped it up with a mix of yorkers and slower balls.

Abhi: "Think more than anything its been strategy going bad for KXIP. Vijay goes at run a ball playing in PP. Maxi getting out off spin with unusual shots. Bating misfiring, & though Johnson not impacting enough, still they don't play proper 4 batsman foreign players like CSK does. Same things going wrong every single game"

Saurabh Bhalera: "Saha and Bailey should come at 3&4 . Guide through innings and keep it others to complete the innings."

Vinay Kumar with the final over, Kings XI needing 33 runs

Kamran: "We have seen too often in this IPL that teams leave it till too late, back themselves to score 12, 13 an over in the last 4 or 5; and then mess it up. I think that after 10 overs, team should try to keep the required rate under 10 an over or close to the original required rate (if it's significantly lower) and should take some chances when the reqd. rate goes up. " ----- Johnson's the new man in

Axar Patel is in

Kshitij: "@Gangster Well , if Andre Russell & AB de Villiers are the opposition batsmen , you never know !!!"

jafer: "60 from 5 and 49 from 3.. 2 good overs form Mumbai .. now can Punjab have 2 good overs to finish this match??"

Himanshu: "You can't play Malinga's yorker with straight bat.. you need to cheeky a bit like scoops and paddle shots.. Use your feet and unsettle him.. "

Gangster: "I wonder how many runs can the opposition score if Malinga , Starc, Bhuvi bowl for the same team in the death overs."
