Mumbai dished out another power packed performance. Rayudu, Tiwari batted very well though they were under pressure due to loss of some quick wickets. Then the stage was set for Pollard and he took the match away from RCB. Otherwise they could have ended up with something about 160. RCB have to blame their pathetic bowling attack and clueless batting. Kohli missing the chance to get Tiwari run out by throwing at the wrong end might have helped them but overall RCB didn't deserve to win! Next time they should look for some good bowlers too, just piling batsmen won't win them any matches! Though they can try for consolation 3rd Place win and try to play in Champions League. What you think? Share your views! Happy Mylotting!

Why do you copy headlines from newspapers ?

Hi beachdune! Provide the link which newspaper has the same headline. I didn't copy any newspaper headline. If you think so then it is your choice. I would love to see which newspaper gave the same headline. Happy Mylotting!

Because he doesn't have enough thoughts to make up a new topic... Hehe,.. just kidding. Copying from newspaper headlines, i think its kind of cheap or may be he had the same idea as the newspaper editor.. Have a nice day

Yes, it was a great and a very needed win by Mumbai Indians. First few overs of Mumbai Indians batting, I thought they could not put a good score on the board but, they've managed to score a lot of runs in the last 5 overs... Mumbai Indians played like a champions throughout the tournament so, this win in the semi-finals didn't surprise me at all. We'll have to wait and watch today's semifinal, the winner of which, Mumbai Indians will be facing at finals on Sunday.

Yes, it was appearing that they might end up with a 150-160 score but Tiwary took charge against kallis and Kumble and the game changed. And then Pollard simply took the game away from RCB. Over all, well played by MI. Happy Mylotting!

Ya mumbai played well tobeat bangalore. when mumbai lost sachin at the start i thought today there score will be down. but even though there wicket falled in regular intervals they keep their score going on with good runrate. tiwary and pollard played well in the end to have a good total and bangalore was under pressure when they came to bat next. so bangalore lost the match under pressure.

Yes, RCB had a good chance to restrict MI to 160 or so but they squandered it in last 5 overs. If only they had bowled well in those overs they would have definitely had a chance to win the match easily. But if you take over all performance MI looks to be more consistent team so it deserves to be champions! Happy Mylotting!

The final over from Kumble and the run-out of Dravid and the wicket of Pieterson were the significant turning points of the match. Dravid and Pieterson will never forget Pollard in a hurry. Pollard was too good with the bat and the ball. Rayudu's wicket-keeping was of Gilchrist's class. Three cheers to Rayudu. Todays play-off will be interesting to watch as they would like to enter the champions league. Public interest is kept alive.

This is what everyone expected, Mumbai to be in the finals. But RCB was little care less to give so much of runs in the last 5 overs. Very bad of that. Two no balls of kumble, not so expected from an experienced bowler. Tension ruled RCB. Sachin was happy for his victory eventhough he is injured, But lets see how they face CSK.

You are right. It started with 16th over bowled by Kallis and then 17th over by Kumble. Both overs went for 17 runs each and then RCB lost their way. I just hope that Sachin will recover from that injury. It will be fitting end to the IPL3 if Mumbai Indians win it and Sachin being in Final is desired by one and all. Mumbai Indians deserved to be Champions. Happy Mylotting!
