Mumbai post an hard win over RCB with game end in the last over. Rayudu, Pollard took Mumbai from a very much difficult almost impossible position to secure victory, and place Mumbai to at least temporarily second spot in the table behind Delhi, which may changes as game ends that of Kolkata and Chennai. Both RCb and Mumbai had bad beginning but Mumbai crumbled more as they were half out a mere a score of about 50 runs. Not much know Agarwal slammed a 30-ball 61, his first IPL half-century to make RCB gave good target to Mumbai, but i was more then as Rayudu, Pollard patiently chased it up with fifties each. There was much similarite in the innings in the beginning Gayle failed after hitting a six and for Mumbai Sachin Tendulkar didn't do much. So do the Rohit sharma and Gibbs for Mumbai got of same as Kholi getting run out. Tillakaratne Dilshan hung around but wasn't at his most fluent, he scored a low paced i think he lost his confidence not playing as pear his name. After good bowling at beginning Munaf Patel gave r 24 runs in the final over. For RCB gayle bowled last voer and was hammered for 14 runs easily and Mumbai scored win with two balls to spare. Murali posed some threas while Zaheer and Vinay didn't look much atall after they do good in early stage of innings. The match is full of tusk but what is to shout is the fighting spirit of Rayudu and Pollard who never gave up though the run rate requement was climbing high like mountain. The paitence they shows were imarkable and need applacused for that.

MI middle order players are making an habit of finishing off the games. This is beginning to make them look awesome as the tournament enters the business end. MI team suddenly looks great with both bat and ball. BTW, this win was also a good favor for CSK as now their qualification is in their own hands. Cheers! Ram

Mumbai had put their good efforts in both bowling and batting and they deserves it. They had some early wickets like Gayle and kholi which was an very important wicket and they was safe in the hands of Mumbai early. It was the turning point of the game. Pollard and Rayudu was the two people who had helped mumbai to take the victory over RCB. They make use of the platform to save MI and proved they are also good as others.

As we have seen throughout this IPL, no score is un-chaseable. MI make it in the last over, thanks to an excellent innings by Ambati Rayudu and by Pollard as well. The second match of the day was also amazing, with not just a last over, but a last ball finish. Dwayne Bravo launching Rajat Bhatia for 6 giving CSK another win.

Mumbai Indians did turn on the heat with last over victory, it was a good work by Ambati Rayudu & Kieron Pollard to make a victory like this. Now the points is getting interesting with every match taking place, let's by end of the league matches which 4 teams makes it to the playoffs ....
