IPL POINT TABLE AFTER MUMBAI INDIANS WIN TONIGHT ON 20-04-2017
Mumbai did not hit their mark right from the start and struggled for control throughout the innings. Krunal Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah were the only bowlers who stemmed the flow of runs with an economical spell. Everybody else was hit around for runs. One wonders why wasn't Harbhajan given his full quota of his overs. Anyway, the challenge in front of Mumbai is a stiff one and despite the deep batting line-up, this will take some chasing. Mohali will be high on confidence and will aim to get back to winning ways. Should be a cracking chase. Join us in a while for it.
Phew! We all need a break after that breathtaking batting performance by Mohali. They were inserted into bat and got off to a flier thanks to their two openers. Shaun Marsh gave them a good start, Wriddhiman Saha departed soon but then came out Maxwell and the runs began to overflow. Both the skipper and the South African batsman plundered as many as 83 runs in just 33 balls and hit Mumbai all around the park. The visitors took a few wickets towards the end but Amla ensured that his side reaches an above-par total on this wicket.
