Bengaluru, May 1: It was the Kieron Pollard show that shone the brightest at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, as Mumbai Indians notched up a thrilling 4-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings in match no. 27 of the IPL.
After electing to bowl first, Chennai put up a massive total of 218, riding on brilliant half-centuries from Faf du Plessis (50 off 28), Moeen Ali (58 off 36) and Ambati Rayudu.
But Rayudu’s innings lifted Chennai past the 200-mark as he played an unbeaten knock of 72 off 27. Though the Mumbai bowlers leaked runs, with Jasprit Bumrah going for 56 runs, Pollard impressed with the ball picking up two wickets and giving away just 12 runs in his two overs.
In reply, Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock handed Mumbai a steady start. But after losing three wickets in quick succession, Chennai looked to be in control. But the game slipped away as the Pollard onslaught began.
Pollard hit the fastest 50 of the season, overshadowing Delhi Capitals’ opener Prithvi Shaw’s 18-ball 50 against KKR, as he brought up his half-century off just 17 deliveries.
Despite MI losing wickets at the other end, Pollard saw it through with an unbeaten 87 off 34. With Saturday’s win Mumbai pulled off the second highest successful chase of the IPL.
Despite the loss, Chennai Super Kings remained at the top of the table with ten points from seven matches. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians remained fourth with 8 points from 7 matches.
Here's how the MI vs CSK IPL match panned out:
End of the match: The Kieron Pollard blitz saw Mumbai Indians snatch a 4-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings. After Ambati Rayudu's show during CSK's innings, Pollard set the stadium on fire with an unbeaten 87. The big-hitting West Indies also scored the fastest IPL 50. After today's match there is no change in the points table, as Chennai remain on top and Mumbai remain fourth.
