I was so much tensed that MI may not chase the target set by T&T. But Again Mallinga played a great innings of 15 runs from 8 balls which helps MI to chase the target easily. Its a very low scoring game but T&T has shown a nice competition and their accurate bowling as well as fielding. MI rocks again.

Yes lou, It was a fantastic game of cricket thrilling and keeping you on your toes until last ball of the match the cricket at its best. This is the reason why people are mad after T20 cricket and never get tired even after overdose of it. T & T dominated the match for most part of M.I. innings but faltered at the closing stages when Malinga put up a brave counter attack second time consecutively and lost the match on the last ball of the match. Malinga looks to be much improved batsman must have worked hard at his batting. He looked better batsman cool and calm during closing stages of the match than his senior partner Ambatti Rayadu who looked nervous during the closing stages after playing a responsible innings earlier on. Congratulations to M.I. for winning their second consecutive close match.

Hope it should be tie so that we could had the chance of watching Super Over again. It would be very interesting but any way MI won this match with thrilling. I was very much nervous when it was last ball and 2!!! runs needed.

It did finally turn out to be a very thrilling match. It should have been a pretty easy match for MI to win. But their batting combined with excellent bowling and fielding performance by T&T meant that they nearly lost. But finally the tailenders held their nerve and Ganga made a mistake by not bringing the field in for the last ball which resulted in MI sneaking through. Cheers! Ram

Yes, it was another edge of the seat thriller from Mumbai Indians. And thankfully for Mumbai Indian fans, the team won on the last ball. Even while taking the risky second run for victory on final ball, wicketkeeper of T&T just missed hitting wickets and MI scraped home! I think bowling and fielding of Mumbai Indians was great. But same cannot be said of their batting. Malinga has come to their rescue now in last 2 matches. Mumbai Indian batters now need to show more fight, application if they hope their team to go much further in the tournament (Bhajji also echoed similar sentiments at post-match presentation).
