After winning the toss, T&T chose to bat first in a bid to post enough runs on the board to give Mumbai Indians a run for their money.
However, openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540. At the time
of this wicket, T&T had posted only 21 runs on the board.
Simmons was then the next batsman to walk back to the pavilion after smashing 21 runs off 18 deliveries as he lost his wicket on a run-out in the fifth over when he neglected to slide his bat past the line at the wicketkeeper’s end while trying to complete
the second run off a delivery bowled by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abu-Nechim-c909.
By the time of the opener's departure, T&T had posted 41 runs for the loss of two wickets.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daren-Ganga-c52410 fell after scoring only five runs off
eight deliveries on the last ball of the seventh over bowled by left-arm pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JEC-Franklin-c1684.
While in the next over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453. Singh later went on to take two more wickets in the match by dismissing Darren Bravo in the 10th over
and lower-middle-order batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sherwin-Ganga-c90004 in the 12th over.
Meanwhile, with Bravo gone after playing a tamed knock of 18 runs off 15 deliveries, it was the last-ditch effort from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jason-Nazimuddin-Mohammed-c66460 to take the total score to a formidable level as he smashed 23 runs off 27 deliveries before losing his wicket in the 16th
over to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ambati-Rayudu-c1007.
In the end, T&T managed to post 98 runs on the board in 16.2 overs against an impressive bowling that left the batting side in ruins and disarray.
With 99 runs to chase in 20 overs, Mumbai Indians failed to give their innings a flying start as in the third over they lost the wicket of opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Aiden-Blizzard-c958, who after scoring two runs was caught by Simmons at third-man off the bowling of right-arm spinner
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samuel-Badree-c88341. At the time of this wicket, Mumbai had managed to post only 11 runs on the board.
In the next over, opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Rampaul-c2233. With this wicket, Mumbai were two wickets down for only 13
runs on the board.
The Indians then suffered a batting collapse as the middle-order was annihilated by superb bowling from T&T, leaving Ambati Rayudu as the last hope for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians to win the game.
However, his 36-run knock almost went to waste when he was run-out on the penultimate delivery of the last over as he tried to complete an unnecessary second run off the bowling of Sherwin Ganga. The batsman walked back to the pavilion with two runs still
needed for victory.
It was then http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuzvendra-Chahal-c2821 who saved the day for Mumbai as he scored the winning runs off the last delivery as Mumbai made 99 runs in response to T&T’s tally.
R Rampaul from T&T was named as the Man of the Match for taking three wickets in his four overs after conceding only 17 runs.
