Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians – Indian Premier League 5 – Match Recap - Part 2
While the Mumbai Indians were left shell-shocked at the half-way stage, they began the chase in a authoritative manner, owing to Dwayne Smith’s early onslaught.
He got off the mark with a four off spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 first flicked the Aussie pacer through depish
long-on, before top edging him behind the wicket-keeper, with the ball comfortably clearing the ropes – Mumbai reaching 20 in 2 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 than bagged his first four by cutting Jakati, while his partner compounded more misery for Hilfenhaus – scoring 14 from the pacer’s second over, including a majestic pull to the deep-square le region.
Seemingly on cruise control, the Indians somehow managed to give Super Kings a sniff, which they duly capitalized upon. Tendulkar cut Jakati to backward point and was caught ball watching, before realizing that his partner was also on the same end. The veteran
than sacrificed his wicket by walking out of the crease, and left the field by consoling Smith.
From that point onwards, the batting side continued to lose wickets despite keeping the run-rate intact, albeit for a while. Smith miscued off Jakati to leave on a well made 38, after which http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JA-Morkel-c1613, with the player
