Mumbai Deserve Their Secong Thrilling Victory
The Mumbai Indians secured a last-ball one-wicket victory over Trinidad and Tobago in their Nokia Champions League Twenty20 clash in Bengaluru.
Chasing a meagre 99 to win and go to the top of Pool A, Yuzvendra Chahal took two from Sherwin Ganga's last ball of the match to drive his side over the line.Batting first after winning the toss, T&T started well and were nicely placed on 41 for one when Lendl Simmons was carelessly run out on 21, signalling the start of a collapse.
Harbhajan Singh (three for 22) was the main aggressor, well backed by Lasith Malinga (two for 22) as Jason Mohammed (23) top scored.The tone for Mumbai's chase was set early, though, as Ravi Rampaul (three for 17) ripped through their top order to leave them almost out of the game at 16 for four.But Ambati Rayudu stood firm for 36 and, despite nine wickets falling, there was just enough time left for Chahal to win the game.
