Tendulkar won the toss but elected to bowl first was a decesion that made the first downfall of Mumbai as only one team had won out of 7 matches played here by batting second (Now it is 1 out of 8 !). Then he gave the new bowl to young Nechim to bowl the first over made things worse as he was hammered out by Gayle for 27 ( Which included 6 Wides). With that poor over by MI, momentum was maintained well by both openers. They went over 10 runs per over and first wicket came in 11th over with downfall of Agarwal for 41. Still the run rate was around 10 as Gayle was their but when he departed for 89 in 15th over, run rate went down rapidly and ended up at 185.Anyway it was a good total to defend on this pitch as MI needed aroud 9 runs per over. MI started well by taking 20 runs in first 2 overs but when the runs dried down, wickets started to fall on regualr basis. Tendulkar was the top scorer with 40 runs and again Pollard was found to be an expenditure for MI as he scored only 3 runs of 6 bowls. Finally MI managed to get only 142 in 20 overs for 8 wickets.
So finals will be played between Bangalore and Chennai at Chennai tomorrow (28th May).
