Malinga clinches the win with a yorker ,,..Mascarenhas can't do much with it .. just a weak waft ... just a single ..
MI vs RR, 2nd match at Mumbai, IPL, Mar 13 2010 - Match Result
It came to the final delivery but at one point it didn't look like it would. But Yusuf Pathan played a fabulous innings to make it a really close thrilling game. But Sathish terminated his innings with a fine piece of fielding and though Dogra tried his best with a few big hits, Zaheer Khan and Lasith Malinga ensured that Mumbai Indians would prevail.
That's it from us. Join us in a while for the second game.
6 from 1. Here we go. Expect a yorker
full, pacy, just outside off stump, driven to right of sweeper cover where Shikhar stops the ball but throws wide at the non-striker's end .. they complete the second run easily
Aaha! Just as I was singing his praise .. more fun .. he sprays it wide down the leg side .. 8 from 2 balls! Warne gets across for a chat.
What a bowler at the death .. another really full delivery, the batsman pushes it out towards long-on .. they try to get back for the second .they run really hard ,.. Sathish throws it to the striker's end but Mascarenhas just about manages to drag his bat inside the line.
Warne has a chat with his partner. SRT makes some fielding changes. Malinga waits at the top of his run up
yorker length, just short of blockhole, just outside leg, flicked away
Clatterrrrrrrr! Don't mess with Malinga! Full, straight, pacy, Uniyal tries to swing at it and edges it on to his stumps
Dogra is run out Malingaaaaaaaaa! First he bowls a damn good yorker, then he rushes on to pick up the ball, which was dug out back down the pitch, and dives forward even as he flicks a direct hit at the striker's end
wonderful over.. again very full, straight, hit down to long-off. Warne seems very tensed .. he is pacing up and down beyound the boundary. Lasith Malinga to bowl
Fine delivery, almost at the blockhole , dug out to cover
It's not coming this ball. Fullish, it zooms past the stumps outside off and lands behind the wicket ... the batsman tries to free his arms but can't connect properly ...The keeper collects
backs away to slice the full delivery to deep cover. Just a run. Malinga will bowl the last over. He might be difficult to get away. Rajasthan need a boundary here in this over from Zak.
good in swinging full delivery, well played by Mascarenhas who clears the front foot and drives it straight past the bowler
length delivery outside off stump, lifted towards long-off. Just a single
aaha! more drama as Zaheer sprays this one wide outsdie off. 18 from 12. Who will cave in under pressure?
retains the strike with a drive to deep midwicket
poor stuff from Sathish.. Under pressure, he has caved in as a bowler .. He slips this down the leg sdie and Dogra helps it along to the fine-leg boundary
short in length, from round the stumps this time and Dogra swings it to the midwicket boundary . What a charge this from Dogra ...
Crash! Dogra, who has been playing second fiddle so far, joins in the fun. Dogra wallops it high over long-on .. another length delivery, another in-the-slot ball
Dogra makes sure Rajasthan remain in the hunt. In the slot, on the length and he has swung it over long-off
Yusuf is run out! What a huge wicket! What a fine work from Sathish, the wonderful fielder! It was smashed back down the track, Sathish lunges to his right to stop it and has the presence of the mind to calmly flick a direct hit at the non-striker's end. Yusuf had backed up too far and couldn't come back in time. It has taken some fine fielding to terminate one of the most delightful T20 knocks.
