7th T20,Group B: Mumbai Indians v South Australia (Winner: SA)

Mumbai Indians were favourites to win this one despite their poor performance in last match. After an early wicket and slow start Sachin and Rayudu started dictating the game before Sachin got out. When Duminy soon followed him back they were 49/3 in 8 with a COW of 45% and at half way stage looked set for a disappointing total. But amazing counter attack by Rayudu and Tiwary followed up with some monstrous hitting by Bravo and Pollard propelled them to 180 runs in 20 overs with a COW of 57%. It finally seemed Mumbai Indians had shown their true firepower and blasted the opposition out of the match, but people had forgotten about two factors –Sachin’s Captaincy and MI’s poor fielding. And they both combined to turn the match in Redbacks’ favour. MI’s refusal to take catches meant Redbacks reached 111/0 overs but with RRR being high it their COW was still at 40%. But poor bowling changes, erratic bowling and more misfields meant that other batsmen were able to capitalize on Klinger and Harris’ good work to take them home in 20th over.
