Another Win for RR

Team Jaipur is now in semis as they won against KKR by 6 wickets. Yusuf Pathan was fantastic & was well-supported by M.Kaif. KKR scored 147/8.....The main problem of KKR was they lost wickets at regular interval..still they reached to a respectable score.Shane Warne did many experiments in bowling & batting...

first 6 overs of 1st innings, none of the bowler of RR bowl consecutive overs. They were periodically replaced by skipper.Chasing 148 for victory,G.Smith & Asnodakar gave a nice start to RR, but they were back to their dug-out after some overs. RR were 69-4 at once..However, Man of the Match & DLF Maximum six award winner Yusuf Pathan managed to score 48 in just 18 balls. M.Kaif supported him very well & he scored 34 runs. they had partnership of 81 runs off 41 balls for the fifth wicket. Y.Pathan finished the things off by hitting winning rns in form of six..RR won when there were still 21 balls left.

Now RR is at top of the table with 18 points & great NRR, hence they are now one of the teams of 4 semi finalist teams.

33 ball victory for Mumbai:IPL's lowest total by KKR

Mumbai Indian team is now emerging as a most dangerous team,after losing first four matches. Today, at Wankhede stadium, they were just marvelous. After winning toss, Sachin chose to field first & KKR batsman came to play. Shaun Pollock ,however, was fantastic taking 4 wickets in his 4 overs giving away only 12 runs.

KKR were all out at just 67 in 15.2 overs. The bowling attack of Mumbai Indians was fantastic.They did not give chance to any batsman to settle down. 6 of the catches were either taken by wicketkeeper or in slip. MI fielded well too.

When MI batsman came to bat,all thought that Shoaib can do something. he took wicket of sachin..but in his very next over Jayasuriya slammed him for 23 runs.Jayasuriya was still enjoying his century knock, & he finished match in 5.3 overs, A WORLD RECORD.

Shaun Pollock was awarded Man of the match award....& now Jayasuriya is the player ,who slammed most sixes(18),overtaking David Hussey (17). Jayasuriya said that It's great to open the innings with Sachin.he can bat for whole 20 Overs & hence allowing me to play my natural game.he smashed 48 off 17 balls.
