Mumbai Indians defeated Kolkata Knight Riders so easily. The match was one sided right from the begining. The way sachin batten, and Sanath joining in him, it looked they were going to make the highest T20 score of all times. 4s and 6s were raining everywhere. First 10 overs gave over 11 runs per over. Trully amazing performance and a treat to watch for every Cricket lover. I will mark it as the BEST match of IPL2 till date. What are your thoughts??

I don't rate it as a great match, it was completely one sided.. not at any single point Kolkata looked in the game. It was interesting only till the moment Sachin and Sanath were batting.. so can say that was the best batting display of the tournament by the two greates, but not the best match of the tournament. The best for me was the match between Rajasthan Royals and kolkata, in which that super over was bowled.

Very well said! It was one sided. But for those who love watching Sachin and Sanath bat, I think this one is the best till date. The match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata was an good only in the super overs which were full of excitement, apart from that, there was nothing much to talk about.

Not only the super overs, but that whole match was exciting.. at all the points both teams were playing equally good, while finally led to tie.. i liked the whole match not only those two overs.

It was a one sided match. In respect to Mumbai indians, mainly Sachin and Jaysuriya, the team of KKR is novice. So they played to their greatness. It was treat watching them bat.

Indeed it was one sided. But KKR are not novice. They have some most successful and experienced players of the world. May be they lack team strategy, captaincy etc or they lack Luck!!

Yes, Knight Riders is performing very poor this season also. All the biggies are ending up as flops. IPL2008's star McCullam is yet to show anything. Pathetic condition for KKR, won only one match and that to due to rains.

I am a BIG fan of Knight riders but needless to say i'm disappointed, and i was totally shocked to see McCullum and Gayle playing defensive cricket in the powerplay overs and let the pressure mount on them. I think dada (Ganguly) should've opened with gayle. Hope they will come back strongly tomorrow.

Yes, McCullam is disappointing everyone. Gayle is fine, if not with bat, he does it with the ball.
