Mumbai Indians v Rajasthan Royals, IPL, MumbaiMumbai Indians 212/6 (20/20 ov)
Rajasthan Royals 208/7 (20.0/20 ov)
Mumbai Indians won by 4 runs
It came to the final delivery but at one point it didn't look like it would. But Yusuf Pathan played a fabulous innings to make it a really close thrilling game. But Sathish terminated his innings with a fine piece of fielding and though Dogra tried his best with a few big hits, Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga ensured that Mumbai Indians would prevail.

|
 | ST Jayasuriya | lbw b Uniyal | 23 | 14 | 3 | 1 | 164.28 |
|
| 3.3 Done in by the slower one. Amit Uniyal, who used to play in ICL, has trapped Jayasuriya right in front. Jayasuriya went for the swing across the line over midwicket but was too early into his shot and was hit on the pad. Dead plumb! 38/1
|
| SR Tendulkar* | lbw b Mascarenhas | 17 | 11 | 3 | 0 | 154.54 |
|
| 6.1 Trapped right in front or was there a glove involved? Tendulkar goes for the paddle sweep shot but misses it completely. He is struck on the pad right in front of the middle stump. Pity, he didn't last long to face Shane Warne. Tendulkar throws his head back ... will see the replays to see whether it brushed the gloves before it hit the pad 69/2
|
| AP Tare† | c Warne b Mascarenhas | 23 | 13 | 3 | 1 | 176.92 |
|
| 6.3 Two in three balls for Mascarenhas! What's happening out there? Gentle seam-up delivery around off stump but Tare drives it straight to Warne at short cover. 70/3

| SS Tiwary | c †Ojha b Tait | 53 | 33 | 4 | 2 | 160.60 |
|
| 17.6 Naman Ojha flies to his left to take a super catch. Tiwary's fine innings ends. He backed away to try swing this delivery to the on side but edged it behind, Ojha took off to pluck a smart one-handed catch 191/5
|
| AT Rayudu | c Dogra b Uniyal | 55 | 33 | 6 | 2 | 166.66 |
|
| 16.6 tries to hit the slower one over midwicket boundary but finds the man at the deep ... Fine entertaining knock from Rayudu ends 180/4

| R Sathish | run out (†Ojha) | 6 | 5 | 1 | 0 | 120.00 |
|
| 18.2 Uniyal to Harbhajan Singh, slower one outside off, Harbhajan can't connect but Sathish calls him over for a single ... Ojha underarms a direct hit and Sathish dives to get back inside the crease. But hold on .....he grounds the bat inside the crease but then it lifts in the air when the ball hits the stumps. Third umpire rules it out. 192/6
|
| Harbhajan Singh | retired hurt | 8 | 6 | 1 | 0 | 133.33 |
|
| 19.5 from Tait, another low full toss, Harbhajan fails to connect with the big swing and is hit on the left pad in knee area ... Harbhajan limps across the single 211/6

| GC Smith | c & b Sathish | 26 | 22 | 4 | 0 | 118.18 |
|
| 6.3 Super catch from the ICL hero Sathish. It was a slower one on the length, Smith checks his shot and pushes out at it .. the ball flies low to the left of Sathish who takes a very good diving catch 40/3

| SA Asnodkar | run out (Sathish) | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | - |
|
| 0.2 Khan to Smith, Swapnil is run out It went off the thigh pad to the off side ... confusion between the two .. Smith starts and stops. Swapnil tries to get back but Sathish rushes on from backward point, swoops on the ball and fires a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Gone! 0/1
|
| NV Ojha† | c Khan b Murtaza | 12 | 12 | 2 | 0 | 100.00 |
|
| 5.1 Strikes first ball. The arm-ball on the middle stump line, Ojha tries to back away, create some room but is cramped by the armer and punches it straight to Zak at mid-off. 38/2
|
| AA Jhunjhunwala | b Malinga | 14 | 11 | 1 | 1 | 127.27 |
|
| 9.2 The slow yorker takes him out. Timber! Jhunjhunwala is completely fooled by the change of pace. He has a waft across the line, a desparate attempt to get some bat on the ball, but misses and hears the death knell. Clatterrrrrrrr 66/4
|
| YK Pathan | run out (Sathish) | 100 | 37 | 9 | 8 | 270.27 |
|
| 17.1 Sathish to Dogra, Yusuf is run out! What a huge wicket! What a fine work from Sathish, the wonderful fielder! It was smashed back down the track, Sathish lunges to his right to stop it and has the presence of the mind to calmly flick a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Yusuf had backed up too far and couldn't come back in time. It has taken some fine fielding to terminate one of the most delightful T20 knocks. 173/5
|
| P Dogra | run out (Malinga) | 41 | 29 | 2 | 2 | 141.37 |
|
| 19.1 Malinga to Mascarenhas, Dogra is run out Malingaaaaaaaaa! First he bowls a damn good yorker, then he rushes on to pick up the ball, which was dug out back down the pitch, and dives forward even as he flicks a direct hit at the striker's end 201/6
