IPL Game 45: Mumbai Indians v Kings XI Punjab at Mumbai

I thought I'd watch this match as I was still hyped up from the Blues in State Of Origin, and I got to see some great up and coming Aussie talent come through.

Kings XI Punjab batted first and Sean Marsh & James Hopes opened. Hopes didn't last long at all- first ball knick, but then he got replaced by Pomersbach.

The two Westies put together a 134-run stand, during which Marsh looked particularly good. I was actually very impressd with him.

Kings XI ended up getting 189 off their 20 overs- at which point I went to sleep. Apparently it was a good finish, but I had to be up in a few hours to watch the Champions League Final- so I missed it! ;)

Match report....

A see-saw last over - which included a six, a four, a dropped catch and three run-outs - allowed Kings XI Punjab to end Mumbai Indians' six-match winning streak and boost their hopes for a place in the semi-finals.

The over, from VRV Singh, began with Mumbai needing 19, three wickets in hand and Siddharth Chitnis and Dilhara Fernando out in the middle. The first ball was a waist-high no-ball, which Chitnis hit it for six over third man. Twelve to get off six balls. The next delivery was full and wide and Chitnis lifted it over extra cover, where Tanmay Srivastava dropped a difficult catch and the ball ran over the line. Eight needed off five, and the advantage squarely with Mumbai.

Then it all went pear-shaped for the home team. The next delivery saw the ball hit to Srivastava, who threw it back to the keeper and Chitnis was run out trying to take a second run.

Seven off four, with two wickets in hand. New batsman Ashish Nehra sneaked a bye to get Fernando on strike. Six off three and Fernando drove a fuller delivery through cover and it was Srivastava again who fielded the ball and ran out Nehra as the batsmen tried for a risky third run. Four runs off two balls with one wicket remaining - Vikrant Yeligati dropped the ball on the pitch and the batsmen ran two as Punjab's fielders muffed up what would have been the fifth run-out of the innings.

With two needed off the final ball visions arose of the tournament's first bowl-out. Yeligati drove to mid-off and set off but he picked the wrong fielder - the ball raced to Yuvraj Singh, who picked it up and ran towards the stumps to knock them down full stretch, Jonty Rhodes style, and Punjab had won by a run.

It was an incredible turnaround in a match where Mumbai looked like reaching Punjab's formidable target while Sachin Tendulkar was still at the crease. Punjab's bowlers nearly undid the efforts of Marsh and Pomersbach, starting with the first two overs.

Sreesanth started the innings with three wides - the second racing past the keeper to the boundary - and Irfan Pathan followed with over-pitched deliveries that Sanath Jayasuriya sent for two sixes over long-on and two fours in front of and behind the wicket. However, Sreesanth recovered in his next over to trap Jayasuriya lbw with a sublime legcutter. But Tendulkar chose the moment to strike form in this tournament, taking hold of the reins and punishing VRV Singh's poor length with fours to fine leg and third man. He reached his fifty by cheekily lobbing a Yuvraj Singh delivery to third-man boundary.
