The Mumbai skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sarul-Kanwar-c2457 to open the innings.
The start was pathetic as the MI lost their top three wickets for just 9 runs. Blizzard was bowled out by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stuart-H-Clarke-c91461 on the 5th delivery of the very first over, followed by Kanwar who fell after adding just 5 runs on the last ball of the second
over. He was caught by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harold-William-Stephenson-c61707 O’Keefe.
The one-down batsman c*m wicketkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ambati-Rayudu-c1007, went on the very first ball of the third over after adding just 2 runs to the innings. Thus, these three early losses put the Mumbai side under severe pressure, which lasted till the last ball of the
innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JEC-Franklin-c1684, in the middle-order, was the only batsman who stayed on the crease, defying the destructive bowling tactics of the rivals and scoring confidently. He kept firing till the end and lashed 42 not out off 51 balls with the help of 5 epic boundaries.
However, none of the preceding batsmen could play with confidence and support Franklin in his lavish knock. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Symonds-c44611 made 9 among the middle-order batsmen.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 was yet to open his account when the given 20-over quota came to an end.
Thus, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuzvendra-Chahal-c2821 were to bat yet.
In the bowling lineup of New South Wales, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Cummins took one scalp a piece. The bowlers gave away just 4 extra runs, courtesy to their calculated and composed bowling.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Watson-c2558 are now padded-up to open the innings for NSW, who are in a favourable position to win the game.
