Dhoni provides the it: Chennai are struggling at 68 for 3 after 12 overs, but in the 13th Dhoni smacks Pollard for a six and a four, followed by converting a Malinga yorker into a low full toss to get Chennai back into the match.
Mumbai drop, Raina capitalises: Twice Mumbai drop Raina in the last six overs, and he moves from 13 off 13 to 57 off 35 to take Chennai to the highest total in an IPL final.
Pollard is kept under covers: After a slow start, Mumbai promote Nayar and Harbhajan, and send in Pollard at No. 8. When they lose two wickets in the 15th over, even with 69 required off 31 balls, Pollard is held back. And 55 off 18, when he eventually comes in to bat, is too much even for him.
