Harbhajan ecstatic after last-ball victory over Super Kings – Cricket News Update
Ecstatic after his side managed to snatch victory from the jaws of a defeat against Chennai Super Kings – thanks to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453, said that it was the best game they have played so far this
season.
Chasing a par target of 174, set by the title holders, Chennai Super Kings, the hosts required 16 runs off the final over. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RP-Singh-c87028 took a single off the next delivery to leave
the side needing 14 runs off the last three balls. Mumbai’s West Indian import, Dwayne Smith, showed nerves, plundering a six and two boundaries to grab a sensational two wicket win for the home side.
While speaking to the media reporters after the match, the home skipper said that Chennai Super Kings are a “super side” and it’s always tough to win against them.
“In the IPL, every win is a big win… And winning against the Super Kings is always tough,” said Harbhajan at the post-match press conference on Sunday.
“They are a super side. But yes, this was probably the best we have played in this IPL so far… It was important for us to win this match and I’m happy we could do so,” he added further.
Dwayne Smith was adjudged as the Man of the Match for his herculean cameo of 24 runs from just 9 deliveries. Bhajji heaped praise on the Barbadian right-hander saying the way he finished it off in Mumbai’s way was simply superb.
“It’s always nice to have a powerful hitter like Smith in the side,” said the turbanator, who was given the charge of the side after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 stepped down ahead of the ongoing fifth instalment of the cash-rich Twenty20 league.
“We had http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 played today, it would be great to have both, Pollard and Smith, in the later stages,” he hoped.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 now have 14 points from 11 games and a couple of more wins would see the side confirming a spot in the tournament playoffs. It is pertinent to mention here that it was under Harbhajan’s captaincy that Mumbai Indians won the Champions Trophy title
last year.
