Daredevils vs MI, 39th match at Mumbai, IPL, May 05 2015 - Match Result

That is that, fellas. Many thanks for tuning in. We will be looking forward to your company tomorrow as well. Until then, this is Deivarayan Muthu slithering into the darkness.

Harbhajan Singh, Man of the Match: Especially in the Wankhede you have to slow it up. I am just trying to use my experience and take the chances whatever I can do to the best of my ability. Yuvraj and me have been playing since Under-12 days. I was looking to drag him into a big drive. I need to score a few more runs to count myself as a allrounder. I played a bad shot and I should have given myself some ten balls. I was playing too many shots. Next time, I will do better.

Rohit Sharma: Actually, we kept it very simple and we wanted to concentrate on the process. We want to take every game at a time. We just want to concentrate on what we can do to win the game. Eventually, getting the two points was important. To be honest, it [thundershowers] is quite unusual at this time of the year. I had a piece of paper to see where we stood at that point. We lost four wickets upfront and we had a very good partnership and Polly finished it in the end. Harbhajan was turning the ball to the left-handed batsman and that was the plan. To give away only 11 runs and take two wickets was magical. We should keep moving forward.

JP Duminy: The ball was not that wet. We picked early wickets but they set the game up for Pollard. We did not hit the yorkers as well as we would have liked. There is still four games to go. We have to keep our heads up and keep focussing on the next game. I thought Yuvraj played well and that's a big positive for us. There is still a long way to go. 170-175 would have been par but to take it to the last over with that score was a good effort."

12:25am: Pollard pumps his first and so does Rayudu. Rohit Sharma is pumped in the Mumbai dug out and the Wankhede crowd roars. Good camaraderie as the players exchange handshakes.

Mumbai's chase wobbled either side of the rain break and were behind the Duckworth-Lewis par score but Rayudu combined well with Rohit in a measured 60-run stand setting it up for Pollard, who struck some lusty blows to push the hosts into the top half of the table.

Maulik: "Very well composed innings from Ambati.. !! "

chandujonty: "MI 4th win in a row.jumps to 4 place in the points table.Just like the last season."

Raj: "Everyone talking about Pollard winning it for them, but in that last wicket partnership, Rayadu scored equal amount of runs at a faster pace than Pollard!!! Nice setup earlier and a flourish at the end by Ambati...

Mithun Chakrav: "MI was on bottom of table after their 5 matches, but after 10 matches, they are 4th in table. MI peaking at right time. Hope they make into play off"

chandujonty: "That's 250 runs for Pollard in this IPL.just 2nd MI batsmen after Rohit 343 runs."

And it has boiled down to 8 off the last over. Tahir will bowl the final over.
