Mumbai Indians (arjwiz) vs Chennai Super Kings (@Solomon) second official IPL match just begun.

Mumbai win the toss and elect to bowl first.

Short game tonight, just a few overs and then to be saved.

----------

Now D Smith bowled by Pollard for 26(30) off a fast yorker.

----------

And that's the innings for the day. CSK 57/2 after 10 overs. Mumbai got two crucial breakthroughs at the end of the spell. Both teams will be equally happy with the score, with CSK perhaps slightly ahead.

 

[arjwiz]

Mumbai Indians (arjwiz) vs Delhi Daredevils (@issue) official IPL match

Harsha: Welcome everyone to the first match between Mumbai and Delhi at the Wankhede. It's a big match between two big sides.

Once again, Mumbai win the toss and have elected to field. Looks like they have been very lucky with the toss, rarely ever losing it.

Danny: Malinga is going to open the innings to M Vijay and M Tiwary

----------

Big shout for LBW first ball, but it's not out. They scamper through for a single.

Run out. Why did they run through for a ball that went straight to the keeper?

8/1 after 1 over.

----------

And another run out for a ball that went through to the keeper. Pietersen comes in to bat at 8/2.

----------

And he's off the mark with a wonderful boundary!

----------

Third run out, direct hit from the deep. Pietersen is out!

----------

Dinesh Karthik looking in great nick. 11 runs off his first 4 balls, bowled by Malinga.

----------

Terrible over by Malinga, 15 off it. DD 34/3 after 3. Ojha comes on to bowl.

----------

Karthik out caught behind for 17(7)

----------

Milind Kumar comes in at 40/4.

42/4 after 4

----------

50/4 after 5

----------

56/5 after the 6 powerplay overs.

 

[kushari]

@issue do you have a train to catch? If not then play accordingly...

 

[arjwiz]

65/4 in 7

----------

Zaheer bowled the net over. 70/4 after 8

 

[issue]

every time shows as keeper missed the ball,suddenly he throws

 

[arjwiz]

Pollard bowled. 76/4 after 9

----------

The wickets have dried up for Mumbai. Delhi cruising at 86/4.

----------

Malinga back into the attack.

----------

Loud appeal to Taylor turned down

----------

And the next ball is nicked behind, Malinga picks up the crucial wicket of Ross Taylor, gone for 34(29). Parnell comes to the middle at 88/5

----------

92/5 after 11

----------

Corey Anderson comes in to bowl, replacing Zaheer Khan, and gets a wicket caught behind off a quick bouncer. But wait, DDC review this. Decision stands, clear nick. M Kumar out for 22(23), the bowling change having worked its magic.

----------

A run out, Parnell gone, after trying to sneak a quick single from mid off. Direct hit means DD are now 103/7

----------

Expensive over. 105/7 after 12. 13 off the over, but 2 wickets as well.

----------

Harbhajan gets a nick. Coulter-Nile out for 18(13).

MI have probably conceded over 20 extras already, which might hurt them later.

123/8 after 14

----------

131/8 after 15

----------

MI refer an LBW appeal that was turned down of Bhajji. But it's missing.

----------

7 off the over. DDC 138/8

----------

Suicidal run out! Kaul out for 12(11). DD now 138/9

----------

2 runs and a wicket off that over.

----------

145/9 off 18

----------

Wow there seems to be a lot of lag in this one. Bowler's display showed the stump uprooted, but the ball suddenly reaches long off. 150/9 after 19 overs.

----------

3 byes after the keeper stood over the ball but didn't pick it up.

----------

And Zaheer gets Mohd Shami out bowled for 10(14).

----------

154 to win. MI will be disappointed at letting DD get so many on the board. Good game on our hands.

Save and exit.

 

[issue]

But how did he got out last wicket i dint know....i played drive....but after hitting bat it went back to stumps crazeeeee

 

[arjwiz]

23/0 after 2, with a very large amount of lag here.

----------

33/0 in 3

----------

Clean bowled. Rayudu 6(10).

----------

58/1 in 5

----------

Tare out for 20(13) going for a lofted shot. MI 73/2 after 7 overs. Rohit Sharma comes to the middle.

----------

Great on drive to the boundary first ball.

 

[arjwiz]

Rohit Sharma out bowled by Sidharth Kaul off a slow bouncer. But Hussey brings up his imperious 50.

----------

Hussey out caught 53(43)

----------

And Pollard walks out of his crease for a suicidal run out. 6(6)

----------

CM Gautam out bowled first ball. Things are getting interesting!

----------

135/6 after 15

----------

Harbhajan bowled 6(7)

----------

Anderson held the hopes of the team but he went for a terrible shot. Out for 15(14) trying to hit a big one.

----------

149/8 off 18

----------

Bowled (looked like a hit to midwicket for my TV). 9 down. 3 runs to win.

----------

152/9 off 19

----------

2 runs, and that's the victory for Mumbai. They made it tough for themselves! Last over and last wicket victory!

 

[issue]

10 th over was really annoyed me went for 10 balls over....how can a spin ball gets bouncer and awarded 5 runs insetad of 1 run...even worse is (when i was bowling it was 9.5 ball) it reduces 3 balls and made to 9.2 gods must be crazy you know

 

[arjwiz]

arjwiz (MI) vs Solomon (CSK) IPL match continuing.

We have completed 10 overs. 10 more overs to go, after which we will end the day.

----------

65/2 after 11

----------

Raina b Harbhajan for 15(15)

----------

76/3 in 13

----------

79/3 in 14

----------

83/3 in 15

----------

Rash shot by Dhoni, who was trying to up the run rate, sees his wicket fall as he hauls out at deep cover for 13(15)

----------

Mithun Manhas out caught behind off a wonderfully planned outswinger by Anderson. Beautifully deliverd. Manhas out for 8(12).

----------

First boundary in a long time, and 10 off the over. CSK need to up the run rate quickly. 97/5 in 17

----------

Now Jadeja caught in the deep for 3(7). Another one for Anderson.

----------

Fast and full. Bowled! Bravo goes for 9(4). Anderson on a hattrick!

----------

And it misses the stump by a whisker!
What an over. CSK 99/7 after 18.

----------

Great over from Malinga, just 4 off it. Unlucky not to pick up a wicket. 103/7 after 19.

----------

Bowled off the last ball. What an over from Zaheer Khan! Just 3 runs off it. CSK will be disappointed with their total of 106. MI chased their score comfortably in their previous game against CSK. But what can CSK's magic spinners produce? Well, we'll have to wait for some other time to find out!

----------

What do we have here? Looks like we'll have some of Mumbai's batting now! Rayudu and Hussey have come out to bat.

----------

2 quick wickets for the spinners. MI 10/2

----------

BIG wicket. Hussey is clean bowled!

----------

BIG BIG wicket. Rohit Sharma out LBW. 32/4. He made 18(14).

----------

Anderson out caught behind for 0! 32/5. Disaster here for MI

----------

50/5 in the 6 powerplay overs. Some good strikes by Gautam to the vacant square leg boundary.

----------

Oh no, Gautam run out for 15(5) for a run that wasn't there. 50/6. Good fielding by Jadeja.

----------

58/6 off 7

----------

62/6 after 8

@arjwiz
I am just curious to know that, is it possible for a third person to watch an online match going on ? If not, how do you do the commentary ?
(Forgive me for the lack of knowledge, I don't have a PS3)

 

[arjwiz]

Pollard out for 10(10)! LBW!

----------

Zaheer caught behind for a duck!
